Sarkis Vartanian (born October 19, 1968) is a Syrian-American entrepreneur, philanthropist, innovator, visionary, political activist based in the downtown Toy District, Los Angeles, California. He is best known As the founder of The Daily Dose Inc., a locovore farm to table slow food concept.

Born in Syria and spending time with his grandparents in Beirut, Lebanon, until the age of 11, he cultivated a love for food and farm life. Using his fathers automotive service, he formed his first business at the age of 16 performing mobile automotive services at clients home for the fraction of the cost of a traditional garage.(citation needed) He went on to attend UCLA.

He became interested in the correlation between human consumption and environmental preservation during his stays at his grandparents' farm and subsequently got involved with a project for KV Company Inc. using recycled surfboards for building materials: “Over the past few months, KV has been experimenting with concrete and foam mixtures concocted with surfboards donated to ReRip. Thus far research and development has yielded light-weight concrete that can be used for landscaping and sidewalks, said Sarkis Vartanian, who is heading up the project for KV.” “Our goal is to be able to incorporate any type of foam to prevent it ending up in the landfill,” Vartanian said. Returning to his original love of food and farm Vartanian immersed himself in food culture visiting the esteemed culinary establishment, now defunct, elBulli. (citation needed) Vartanian founded the Daily Dose Inc. with credo that “every child, woman and man deserves and has the right to have access to good nutritious food” (citation needed) “He supports local farm development and believes in expanding distribution channels through local restaurants, grocery stores, and the public school system.” (citation needed)

The initial Daily Dose Inc., launch took place with former collaborator and chef Christian Page and sous chef Jonathan Dye at a Foodstuff LA installment hosted by the Pedal Patch Community featuring celebrity chef Ani Phyo   Daily Dose Inc. is the hub of Vartanian's envisioned “ Honest Food Movement.”: “We want to teach the masses that food starts with the ingredients. I think people just look at packaging rather than ingredients,” said Vartanian. “Food doesn’t have to be complicated. Look at sushi for example. Good sushi is three ingredients and it’s so simple that you can taste each ingredient,” “We make our own ketchup, mustard, sauces, grow our own herbs. We even make our bread from scratch,” “If it's not sustainable, we won't use it, even if it's local," Vartanian says. With the exception of Intelligentsia Coffee Daily Dose fostered a relationship with locally sourced California food producers such as  Straus Family Creamery and Mary's/Pitman Farms.

Vartanian has since partnered with other chefs, community leaders and artists such as Dante Gonzales of Dante's Fried chicken, grandson of jazz saxophonist Jimmy Forrest.
