Founded 15 years ago by Dr. Andrew Weil on the idea that great tasting and nutritious food and thoughtfully crafted beverages can serve as the foundation for a life well lived, True Food Kitchen serves craveable, consciously sourced, chef-inspired dishes across its 45 restaurants nationwide.
“We’ve learned a lot about the health risks of oils extracted from seeds (corn, sunflower, safflower, canola, peanut, etc.). Especially when heated, they may promote inflammation and increase risks of certain health concerns,” said True Food Kitchen’s Co-Founder, Dr. Andrew Weil. “Oils derived from fruits, such as olives and avocados, are much better for cooking and I recommend them as replacements for seed oils in the kitchen. I am proud True Food Kitchen continues to evolve their approach as we learn more.”
As part of their ongoing menu innovation, the True Food culinary and sourcing teams will continue to evolve ingredient standards with plans for additional updates to their menu offerings in the first quarter of 2024, and throughout the year.
“We’re proud to be a leader in the industry with our full transition to cooking exclusively with olive and avocado oils. Cooking amazing food starts with using the best ingredients possible. This is just one piece of our updated ingredient standards, we look forward to sharing more in early 2024.” said John Williams, CEO of True Food Kitchen. “We are on a mission to make it easier for more people to eat more real food, and so we are focused on using whole or minimally processed ingredients in everything that we make.”
In addition to ingredient updates, True Food Kitchen launched three major menu rollouts this quarter—a completely revamped brunch, a brand-new happy hour program, and a festive new menu to celebrate the holidays. The brand will continue to focus on new opportunities and dishes to delight guests while upholding their ingredient and sourcing standards.
