(00:51) On this episode of The Pittsburgh Dish, we dive into the culinary journeys and innovative business ventures of Zita Edsall and John Lopez, the brilliant couple behind Chip and Kale Plant-Based Meals. What if you could revolutionize your dinner routine with just a few clicks? Zita’s devotion to cooking has led her to create versatile, pre-prepped meal kits that cater to both vegan and non-vegan palates, ensuring that dinner time is no longer a chore but an enjoyable experience. Their local focus brings nutritious and delicious meals right to the tables of Pittsburgh and the surrounding regions.

From John's fiery “Margo,” and the crowd-favorite hot sausage pizza known as the “Sal" we learn about the Neo-Neapolitan style behind these culinary delights. Pizza cooked to perfection in high-heat Gozney ovens illustrates how passion and determination can turn simple ideas into a thriving endeavor.
