He is truly passionate about building opportunities for neighborhoods to do better and eat better. He hires local residents for the restaurant, and he is even starting cooking classes to teach people basic healthy cooking! That’s an awesome way to give back and improve. Chef Roy and his entire team at Locol are making a serious difference. I think everybody should know about them. Thanks for listening :0)
