“We’re delighted that it is now legal to use hemp in our dishes” he said. “We have seen customers switching to dishes including hemp, in fact two of our most popular dishes both include hemp. We now serve Lariese Hemp products in many of our Bare Naked Bowls and in dishes on our new summer menu and we’re sure this will increase.”
