[QUOTE]Former NBA star Ray Allen is opening a fast-food restaurant that's unlike anything on the East Coast
Grown's brisket sandwich features freshly baked sourdough bread, organic greens, and pickled onions.
Former NBA star Ray Allen is getting into the restaurant business.
Allen and his wife, Shannon, are opening an organic fast-food restaurant called Grown, the Miami Herald reports.
Opening in March in Miami, where Allen played his final two seasons, Grown will be one of the first organic fast-food restaurants in the country and the only such offering with a drive-thru on the East Coast.
The Allens' inspiration to open the restaurant came from trying to meet the special dietary needs of their son, who has Type 1 diabetes.
"I had an aha moment where I realized I couldn't sit around helpless waiting for someone else to create a fast-food option that met our family's dietary needs, and as we did our research it became obvious that this wasn't a struggle unique to us
