After he opened his first Hart House in Westchester near LAX in 2022, the next group opened in the town of Monrovia. Now they just opened a third location in the heart of Hollywood, on Sunset Blvd. and Highland Avenue. Not just across from the iconic Hollywood High School, but across from Chick-fil-A. This location even has a drive-through service to order and pick up healthy food on the go.
According to a recent study, if diners in the Los Angeles metro area ate a plant-based alternative burger each week, the GreenHouse gas savings would be equivalent to 3 billion miles of car driving and up to 7.5 billion passenger miles by plane. These numbers show how big of an impact a seemingly small choice, like a meal, should be accepted.
