In the dawn of the Great Recession I opened and operated what became the top restaurant delivery service in Tampa Bay. For five years, I worked hand-in-hand helping a set of diverse restaurants better serve the American consumers while expanding my own palate. Living on take-out, I was struck down with gastric diseases and a physical disability. Finding little relief through healthcare, with my life on the line, I went plant-based. With limited resources and mobility, navigating a new lifestyle, I found ways to continue enjoying the cuisines I loved without sacrificing taste or convenience. Nicknamed hot dog as a kid, we gave our child the middle-name Bean, prior to the invention, because they saved my life. So, it's even more fitting that we would go on to create an inventive seasoning mix for bean stews; a pop-culture catalyst for easy delicious recipes. Now, with Broth Bomb™, everyone can become a bean stew expert.

Co-Inventor of the Broth Bomb™, Renee Laurent offers valuable culinary expertise and was vital in the creation of all of our recipes and branding.
