The products are free of mercury, microplastics, dairy and GMOs. As a culinary-driven food company, Good Catch is on a mission to propel positive environmental change while providing plant-based protein options for craveworthy meals that are good for you and good for the planet. The three vegan, chef-created soups are plant-based spins on classic seaside favorites
“Seafood-based soups and chowders are staple dishes for coastal towns, and we’re thrilled to partner with Ladle & Leaf to create delicious plant-based versions of these classics that offer the taste of the ocean that’s better for the ocean and all that call it home,” said Chad Sarno, Co-Founder & Chief Culinary Officer of Good Catch. “This partnership was such a natural fit for us, as Ladle & Leaf prioritizes ingredient integrity in everything they do. We can’t wait for consumers in the seafood-dominant market of San Francisco to enjoy our vegan seafood soups that provide the same feel-good bowls of enjoyment as the traditional version.”
Ladle & Leaf is committed to making delicious and healthy dishes using fresh, seasonal, local produce whenever possible. The family-owned restaurant group works directly with local farms to source the best produce of the season, then gives their ingredients the royal treatment, from roasting vegetables to making sauces and stocks to best showcase flavors for their recipes. Ladle & Leaf closely aligns with Good Catch’s mission of being environmentally conscious and providing great tasting, healthy food that betters the community and our world.
“Our soups are the centerpiece of the lunch experience, and our new soups made with Good Catch Plant-Based Tuna and Crab are made with hearty ingredients to nourish the body and warm the soul,” said Steve Sarver, Co-Founder of Ladle & Leaf. “As we focus on our Healthy Your Way brand promise, we’re proud to put these soups on the menu to continue offering our guests an array of options to fit their lifestyle and dining preferences.”
