We know Kevin Hart as a great comedian and accomplished actor. But there is much more to Hart than that. He is also a host, producer, and soon-to-be restaurant owner.

Hart took it to Instagram earlier this week that he’s opening his first restaurant on August 25 in Los Angeles. Named “Hart House,” the food joint will serve exclusively plant-based items and aims to disrupt “fast food with a flavorful and affordable plant-based option.”

Despite being plant-based, the restaurant won’t lack all your favorite fast food items. According to the announcement, you will be able to enjoy burgers, nuggets, tenders, sandwiches, and much more. The only difference will be that they won’t have any meat or all that bad stuff like artificial colors, preservatives, and hormones.

The team behind the Hart House says it wants to offer fast food enthusiasts an “absolutely delicious, craveable food” that will be healthier and more sustainable than their usual choices. Also, since Hart views this venture as a passion project, the aim is to keep the prices low and affordable so everyone can have access to plant-based food.

If the first location turns out to be a success, the Hart House will spread across Southern California before pushing for a nationwide presence.

“If you fast forward 10 years, I am convinced that a huge percentage of what people eat will be plant based, not out of virtue, but out of necessity, out of supply chain, certainly out of health and wellness,” restaurant’s CEO Andy Hooper told Nation’s Restaurant News. “Our perspective is like, why not go there first through taste and craveability more than anything so that people understand that they actually don’t have to give anything up, including their existing fast food?”
