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

Sometimes I swear there are just not enough hours in the day for everything I want/need to do! I'm so incredibly grateful that my schedule in the kitchen has cleared up enough to give me two honest-to-goodness days off. But boy, did I fill them this weekend, and then suddenly, it was 4am Monday and I was back in the kitchen! I did get a lot done, I rehearsed my part in LOVE LETTERS, I got my power walk in , and we even managed to go to the Symphony to hear an incredibly beautiful and moving Appalachian Spring. But if I only had one more day before I had to put the apron on...
Anyway, we're in the home stretch for the play. LOVE LETTERS by AR Gurney with my mentor and acting partner Souper Jenny is a week away - we open Friday April 3. Just three shows: Friday and Saturday April 4 and 5 at 7pm, and Sunday April 6 at 3pm. Tickets are going fast but there are still some for each show. But I do think, in all humility, we'll probably sell out - or come close. So if you do want to come, please Click here for tickets to LOVE LETTERS. All proceeds benefit - DIG, The Zadie Project, and Synchronicity Theatre. $50 general Admission, $100 for the Swanky Seats in the middle. Complimentary Dessert Buffet from Souper Jenny during intermission. Please come! It's a lovely, sweet, funny and moving play.
And come see us. You'll def want to have the Thai Curry Seafood Stew! By far my fave today.
