Hello!
I founded MetroFresh with the notion that fresh, healthy, and creative food should not be out of reach for the casual diner. With a daily menu of soups, salads, sandwiches, breakfast entrees, “after work” small plates (Uptown), and dinner entrees (Midtown,) MetroFresh uses the freshest in-season ingredients, locally grown and organic when possible, to build unexpected flavor combinations you don’t often find at a fast-casual cafe.
Our mission has always been to create a friendly “oasis” where our guests can take a break from their hectic lives. “People are going to come for delicious, healthy food,” I told my original crew in 2005, “but they’ll come back because they had a great experience.”
You’ll notice alongside the “FOOD” below, a column of “THOUGHTS.” I’ve always believed MetroFresh would succeed because it’s a personal and communal experience. That very first day when I sent out a mass email with our daily menu, I began with a personal story about how I loved fresh food as a child. I’ve started every day after that writing down these random thoughts about food, family, and life. I’ve been doing it as a daily ritual for so many years I figure, why stop now? I hope you enjoy it. And I hope you come see us.
Mitchell Anderson, Founder and Creative Chef

Thought
by Mitchell
Souper Jenny taught me, all those years ago (now more than 20!) to be improvisational and creative in the kitchen. I think there was something familiar about the improv nature of what she was teaching me. Since both of us came from the theatre, our lives are just set up for the "yes, and..." of improvisation. So when applied to creating soups and salads, you just kind of "yes, and..." your way to a result with the ingredients that are within reach. You start out with a thought, grab this and that, throw it all together and the, like magic, you have something delicious. This is what I've done all these years, and this is sort of what keeps me motivated and interested. It's impossible to do something 100% new every single day. And there are many many soups and salads that make frequent appearances on the menu. Like today's Thai Coconut Chicken, because, well, you just need some every week or so, no?
But once in a while with this improv food concept you can just be super spontaneous and creative. And sometimes you just make stuff up because something unexpected happens. That's why today I have a Bok choy salad on the menu. My produce vendor accidentally sent me Bok Choy instead of leeks. (I'm not sure how that happened because Bok Choy looks nothing like leeks but sometimes the guys who put the orders together at 3am are still half asleep.)
So, I made this really good Japanese Bok Choy Salad today with a Miso Dressing that I think you'll really like. Please come in and try some.
Head on over to Bar MetroFresh Uptown for Sh'Muel's Thursday Night Don't-Call-It-Happy-Hour and then join him again Saturday night at MetroFresh Midtown for Karaoke! Fun...
Have a great day.
