Read it and Eat it: Honeybee Burgers
What’s the buzz around Los Angeles? It’s that Honeybee Burger is trying to save the world with one vegan burger at a time. The humble burger joint first opened their yellow color doors last May — showing Angelenos a better way to eating plant-based burgers. Founder, Adam Weiss, started to notice that there was a huge demand for companies like Impossible Foods and Beyond Meat — whose mission was “to save the world with one burger at a time” was not just worthy and noble, but no one was doing it.
