Shandon Anderson: Owner Of A Vegetarian Restaurant

In 2006, the Miami Heat won the NBA Championship with Shandon Anderson being one of the team’s role players. When Anderson retired, he literally started over since he decided to go back to school and become a vegetarian chef, planning to open his own restaurant someday. He actually had his internship at Candle 79, which is one of the most famous vegan restaurants in New York. After that experience, Anderson opened ‘Drink Art’ in Atlanta, his very own restaurant which specializes in vegan Thai cuisine. Unfortunately, Drink Art closed after being open for less than a year.
