No, Kevin Hart is not vegan.

American stand-up comedian and actor Kevin Hart is also an owner of a vegan fast-food restaurant. It's normally assumed that the owner of a vegan eatery would himself/herself follow a strict plant-based, no-dairy diet. However, the Jumanji actor owns the famous vegan restaurant called Hart House but is not vegan.

The famous comedian who leaves people laughing on the floor with his perfect comic timing also makes sure to feed the citizens of Los Angeles some mouth-watering vegan delicacies. With a dream of opening a restaurant chain to compete with other fast-food chain restaurants, Kevin Hart opened up Hart House right in Los Angeles, California which is just a mile away from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).

When did Kevin Hart open his restaurant?

Kevin Hart opened his restaurant back in 2022. He named his restaurant Hart House and it is a fast food eatery offering its customers some flavourful vegan menu options. The restaurant’s menu offers veggie burgers and lip-smacking chicken (not meat) products and also claims that their foods are free of “Cholesterol, antibiotics, hormones, artificial colors, preservatives, high-fructose corn syrup, or trans fats.”

While elaborating on what the Hart House offers to its customers, the fast food chain’s CEO Andy Hooper said, “We've curated delicious, crave-able food you know and love like burgers, shakes, nuggets, and more.” He also added, “Our menu is the future of the industry; Hart House is revolutionizing quick service restaurants now and delivering a ground-breaking culinary experience that shatters the expectations of what plant-based food can be."

What does Kevin Hart have to say about vegan food?

Kevin Hart may not be a vegan, but according to the Jumanji actor he is a ‘flexitarian.” To elaborate on this, while appearing on the episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, Hart revealed that he prefers to stick to a plant-based diet but he does eat chicken from time to time. In many of his other interviews, the actor also disclosed that he isn’t a big fan of consuming red meat (including beef, pork, and lamb or shellfish) and majorly avoids it.

During his appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience, the actor also revealed that he learned much about vegan sources of protein and how it led to him jumping to a plant-based diet. Kevin Hart said, “Once I found out there was protein in other foods and other resources, then I started to learn more about the plant-based food space. Since going plant-based and jumping into that space and choosing that, I’ve seen a significant change in being more vibrant and more up and at it.”
