Questlove Partners With Impossible Foods on Plant-Based Cheesesteak

Questlove took to Instagram yesterday to announce his partnership with Impossible Foods on a plant-based cheesesteak. While The Roots drummer is not a vegetarian or vegan, he fell in love with the brand’s meatless beef, and has been working on bringing this new creation to market for the past year.

Impossible Foods teamed up with the Wu-Tang Clan last year on the introduction of Impossible Sliders at White Castle restaurants across the country. This move further cements the brand’s position within hip hop culture. Quest’s motivation is clearly based on his Philadelphia roots.

As a Philadelphian, of course, I take pride in a great cheesesteak. My team and I have developed a recipe using Impossible Meat that we hope will offer a delicious and sustainable alternative for all cheesesteak eaters.

Questlove’s Cheesesteak will be making its debut on March 28 at Citizen’s Bank Park for the Phillies home opener, and then expanding to 40 Live Nation venues across the country.

If you’re considering giving a plant-based diet a try after watching Alex Olson’s Mission Statement episode, this is certainly exciting news.

Mariah Duran returns to her hometown in Albuquerque, NM to “unlock” the Civic Plaza for an open skate jam for local skaters. Watch the highlights below.

Mariah was stoked about opening the Civic Plaza to skating for the event as she narrated how they would get kicked out of the place when they were skating there before. She also talked about how the community shaped her into the skateboarder that she is.

The Unlock the Spot in Albuquerque featured cash-for tricks and an open skate jam for the local skaters.

This is the third stop of Unlock the Spot organized by Mtn Dew as part of their “Skateboarding is Unstoppable” campaign. The series of events takes place in Mtn Dew Athlete’s hometowns. Each event would give local skaters a chance to shred spots that are otherwise off-limits to skating.

The fourth Unlock the Spot will be this Sunday at Gilham Park in Kansas City, MO with Sean Malto.
