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

For those MetroFreshuals who like a good bowl of Chicken Matzo Ball Soup, today is your lucky day. The stars all alligned and I have a big pot of Matzo Balls on the stove and a nice brothy Chicken Soup to go with it. I ordered a bunch of Matzo Mix a couple weeks ago because the Jewish Holidays were a-comin. But then because of catering and prep time, I haven't been able to actually use it. Today, we don't have anything on the catering board (bad for me, good for you) so I have some extra time to roll and cook a few hundred Matzo Balls. And, of course, today is Yom Kippur!
So if you're of the Jewish pursasion, and you're breaking your fast today with a family meal, come on in and get a quart or two of soup! And if you're like me and you just love a good, heartwarming, deliciously plump ball (don't go there!) come in and get a bowl for here and one to go. PS - available at both stores!!!
In the meantime, enjoy this beautiful fall weather. The weekend was certainly an 11 on the wiz-o-meter. Why should today be any less.
