Meet Chef GW Chew
FOUNDER & CEO
Growing up in rural Southern Maryland to a family of devoted carnivores, our founder, Chef GW Chew, experienced the tragedy of losing close relatives due to diet-related diseases (diabetes, cancer, and other illnesses linked to poor diet and overconsumption of animal meat products). In 2001, at the age of 18, he made the decision to go vegan in pursuit of a healthier lifestyle, but found that many plant-based foods at the time were less than palatable. With a relentless passion, Chef Chew sought to understand why our bodies crave meat, and over the course of nearly 15 years experimenting with literally thousands of ingredients and cooking techniques, he found the secret to the most authentic plant-based versions of his favorite ethnic and comfort foods. Better Chew was born!

What Does “Democratizing Access” Mean?
To democratize something is to make it accessible to everyone. Quality, nutritious, affordable food should be available to everyone…but it’s not. Access is the root of our mission, and this is why we are working with the school districts to make this happen.
Manufacturing As A Mission
We manufacture Better Chew products in our own factory because it’s important. There are very few minority-owned (especially black-owned) manufacturers in the US. Most of the food products on any grocery shelf are made by people that don’t look like us. We recognize that Better Chew can provide more than healthful food. Our mission of changing lives one chew at a time can extend to providing great jobs, impacting not just the health of our customers, but the lives of those in our communities. We hope that our commitment to the mission in every capacity will further inspire those who may be unsure about a plant-based diet to try it.
