Rise of Cannabis Cuisine in Los Angeles

Los Angeles has long been a melting pot of culinary innovation, and the incorporation of cannabis into gourmet dining experiences represents the latest chapter in this evolution. Soul & Mind Social stands out by offering a sophisticated approach to cannabis cuisine, setting a new standard for what diners can expect from a meal that marries fine dining with the art of cannabis.

Meet Chef EmJay: The Culinary Genius Behind Soul & Mind Social

Chef EmJay’s passion for cooking and creating culinary delights ignited at a very young age, a journey that has blossomed into her ultimate love language: preparing special meals for others. Her personal discovery of cannabis as a crucial element for her mental health seamlessly intertwined with her culinary endeavors, guiding her to the innovative world of cannabis-infused dishes and drinks. Chef EmJay’s talent quickly made waves within the community as she started to showcase her creations at cannabis and private events alike, earning her widespread recognition.

In 2023, this recognition was solidified when she was honored as the top cannabis chef in California, celebrated for her signature dishes and desserts, which perfectly encapsulates her culinary artistry and innovative use of cannabis. Currently, Chef EmJay is channeling her expertise and creativity into crafting a bespoke menu for the upcoming Soul & Mind Social event, promising an unparalleled dining experience that weaves together her deep love for cooking, her commitment to mental wellness, and her pioneering spirit in the cannabis culinary scene.

The Inspiration Behind Soul & Mind Social

The inception of Soul & Mind Social sprang from the serendipitous meeting of Chef EmJay and event organizer Kevin of Infamous LA, two Los Angeles locals with the shared passion for the cannabis and plant medicine community, at an event hosted by the Coughee Shop in Long Beach, California (shout out to Omar). As fate would have it, their paths, along with those of their families, frequently crossed at various gatherings, further cementing their bond. This connection deepened when Chef EmJay catered a party at Kevin’s house, where amidst the convivial atmosphere, they envisioned a concept that would transcend the ordinary — a cannabis and mushroom infused dinner party that melded a creative menu with the soulful rhythms of live music, all set within a relaxed, enjoyable setting.

Their collaboration bore fruit in the form of Soul & Mind Social, an event they hope marks the beginning of a series of upscale dining and entertainment experiences in the Los Angeles area. Designed to captivate the senses and foster a sense of community, Soul & Mind Social is a testament to Chef EmJay and Kevin’s shared vision of celebrating cannabis culture in a sophisticated, joyful manner.
