The Ben Hundreds Playbook: From Streetwear King to Restauranteur

June 9, 2025

In this episode of Unplated with Antonio Diaz, Antonio sits down with Ben Shenassafar (aka Ben Hundreds), co-founder of The Hundreds, the streetwear brand that sparked a legacy in the fashion world. Known for blending skate culture, hip-hop, and Los Angeles’ rebellious spirit, The Hundreds became a cultural phenomenon in the fashion world. Now, Ben is venturing into a new world: the restaurant industry with The Benjamin in Hollywood.

A modern tribute to old Hollywood glamour, The Benjamin brings classic American dishes to life through a contemporary lens. In this conversation, Ben talks about his transition from building a streetwear empire to opening a restaurant, and how his vision for community, style, and storytelling continues to drive his work.
