If you’re looking for something that’s quick, affordable, and organic, try Hearty Eats. Since 2014, the restaurant has been serving appetizing dishes made with local fresh ingredients that don’t contain gluten, dairy, sugar, peanuts, GMOs, or artificial additives. It’s a space where people can eat safely and happily with their families appeasing all palates regardless of dietary restriction. Hearty Eats started out as a food truck at music festivals and flea markets with the concept health food fast food — fast accessible food that’s affordable without compromising on quality. Founder Andrea Beaudoin says, “The gluten-free is the umbrella for us of making an allergen-free restaurant.” She continues, “Children are being born with more food allergies than ever, so trying to develop a restaurant that can cater to all of these needs is the first step.” From there, Hearty Eats restaurant was born with an eclectic menu of seaweed salad, Indian curry, pepita pesto, and fish and chips. The restaurant also features a dessert bar and its own line of barbecue sauce, carrot marinara, white kimchi, and pickled red cabbage. “It’s nice to be recognized for providing this service to our community,” Beaudoin says. “It’s a testament to one of the fundamental ideas behind our concept.”
