In this episode of Chefs Without Restaurants, host Chris Spear speaks with Aaron Elliott, a vegan chef with a unique background in punk music. Aaron shares his journey from being a drummer in various bands to becoming a private chef for high-profile clients like Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker and director James Cameron. In addition to being a private chef, Aaron recently launched his own vegan meal delivery service, Meal Ticket, in Los Angeles.
They discuss the intersections between music and food, the challenges of maintaining a vegan lifestyle on tour, and how Aaron's passion for cooking evolved from necessity to a full-blown career. Whether you're into punk rock, vegan cuisine, or just love a good story of following your passion, this episode has something for you.
For anyone in the Los Angeles area, Aaron will be hosting his first-ever pop-up at the beloved vegan bakery Baker’s Bench on September 17th. The evening will be an extension of Meal Ticket, as he’ll be cooking up a limited menu of fan-favorites from the meal delivery service.
