Nutritionist Elissa Goodman with Executive Chef Wilfrid Hocquet & Fig & Olive's President, Greg Galy talks on the health benefits behind curating the NBCF Prix Fix Fig & Olive menu in support of the National Breast Cancer Foundation with their partnership with Fig & Olive. Guests experienced and celebrated the NBCF prix fix menu's health benefits associated with the Mediterranean Diet at Fig & Olive Melrose Place, West Hollywood, Ca., on Tuesday, October 4th, 2016.  

Recently influencers and insiders gathered at Fig & Olive Melrose Place in participation of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The inspiring event took place at Fig & Olive Melrose Place and paid homage to spreading awareness over the disease that, in one way or another, touched everyone.

According to the National Cancer Institute one in eight women will develop breast cancer in her lifetime and every two minutes a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer. By raising awareness and educating individuals on breast cancer, early detection rates can increase as well as hopefully finding a cure.
