Kevin Hart is getting ready to add the title of restaurant owner to his long resume. The comedian will be opening two plant-based restaurants in Los Angeles called the Hart House. The 42-year-old will partner with Hart House CEO and well-known restauranteur, Andy Hooper to help bring the fast-food menu together. The menu will include vegan burgers, fries, nuggets, salad, and more. Hart made the announcement on his Twitter account. “Guys I have been working on this for a minute… words can’t explain how excited I am. All I can say is brace yourselves… We are coming soon!!!”https://twitter.com/kevinhart4real/status/1537478722739216387?s=21&t=xfCwuIfZKuNuMDNQiCzo4A Hooper spoke on his latest venture, “I think it’s important for us to be a restaurant that first and foremost serves a crave-able product that people go out of their way to consume and then at the end we’re like, ‘Hey, by the way, this just happens to be all plant-based.” Kevin Hart’s Hart House is currently a food truck used for private events. Hooper added, “Kevin sort of conceptualized this idea at the beginning of the pandemic.” He added, “If I were advising him at the time, I would say, ‘Don’t you dare ever start a restaurant, and don’t you ever start a restaurant in the middle of COVID,’ but after almost two years of really working on this menu and getting the food to a place where it can deliver on that promise, we’re ready to go and we’re excited to tell the world about Hart House and excited to serve the food.”After his near-fatal car accident, Kevin Hart revealed that he will take on a healthier lifestyle where he will no longer eat red meat, fish, and seafood. “Just because you make the decision to go and try plant-based, doesn’t mean you have to [be engulfed] in that world. Learn it, understand it, and see if there are benefits that work for you,” Hart said.
