Food Rebels is the show dedicated to uncovering the real and rebellious side of the food world
We’re all fed up with big corporations making bad decisions for us. It’s time that the challenger brands and the little guys shine.
Each episode we meet food and drink founders, chefs, or personalities who are changing the food industry today for the better.
Hosted by AJ Sharp, a food and drink judge, public speaker, agency owner.
AJ has spent decades helping ethical and sustainable brands to grow. But Food Rebels is about so much more than that. This is about raising understanding and respect for great tasting, nourishing food and drink.
On the show, we meet some really inspiring people. We taste great food and drink live on air and we peek inside the minds of some of the most influential food experts today.
