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

They never tell you in Start Your Own Business School, how many end of year tasks there are. So while most people in the world are busy with the hustle and bustle of the holidays, we small business owners are also busy making sure the end of year i's are dotted and t's are crossed. To this end, I will be chained to my desk at the home office trying to sort it all out for most of the day. My only hope is that Pino the cat finds another activity than playing with my fingers as they type on the keyboard, which, apparently, is her favorite thing to do. Truthfully, it is super cute, but it makes doing the aforementioned chores that much harder.
We've got our usual Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup on the menu for you today. It's a cold/crisp day out there - perfect for a melty grilled cheese dipped luxuriously (?) in some creamy tomato soup.
Come see us.
PS - last night's Holiday Happy Hour at MetroFresh Uptown was a HUGE success. It was packed with holiday revelers from the offices in the building and neighbors for three straight hours. I put my bartender hat on again, and while it may have taken a few shakes of the cocktail shaker to get my groove back, I think I did ok. I even had one compliment on my Old Fashion!
