  <title>#293 Thubten Comerford -- Buckman Brines</title>
  <description>Upon seeing Thubten Comerford's&amp;amp;nbsp;Facebook post showing him sending off his first shipment of his Buckman Brines product, host Chris Angelus asked Thubten if he'd like to be a guest on our show.&amp;amp;nbsp; As it turns out, the first shipment of his top quality pickles was going to Southern California, where Thubten grew up.&amp;amp;nbsp; Some of the things we learn about Thubten in this podcast are that his childhood friends in Malibu are now A-list celebrities, Thubten served in the military, which we discuss in the context of being a gay man escaping the discomfort of his early home life.&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp; &amp;amp;nbsp; We'll talk about the difference between &amp;quot;vegan&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;plant-based&amp;quot; as well as how&amp;amp;nbsp;Thubten's&amp;amp;nbsp;shift to a 99.97% (he calculated this!) plant-based life has helped him become healthier, and how he still enjoys some meat or cheese here and there when the situation calls for it.&amp;amp;nbsp; Thubten had all the ingredients put together for a plant-based TV chef show.&amp;amp;nbsp; We'll hear about the format, and why that hasn't happened... yet! &amp;amp;nbsp; Thubten also shares some of his impressions of Portland and how he got here, along with some of his favorite plant-based restaurants in Portland.&amp;amp;nbsp; This is a fun interview you'll want to listen to before checking out&amp;amp;nbsp;buckmanbrines.com.
