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

We're headed back from Barnsley today with a boatload of memories and a barrel of laughs to accompany us. As I sat at the head of the table last night enjoying the sites and sounds of my most amazing and lovely friends I was able to take a second to metaphorically step back and fully understand how much I appreciate these amazing people. Everyone at the table brought an energy that was both unique and generous. It's an exceptional group of old friends, all headed into our dotage knowing that we will be here for each other forever. And how lucky are Richie and I to have that in our lives.
I am sad to say goodbye today, but excited to start the next two week marathon until my opening night of YOU BETTER CALL YOUR MOTHER on Thursday November 4. I'm sold out for two out of four shows. So if you still think you want to go please get you tickets now for Friday night or Sunday matinee. Click here to buy tickets NOW!
I'm also happy to report that I have not had one single panicked text or call from anyone on my amazing staff. I can't thank them enough for stepping up to the plate and allowing me to get away for this special weekend with my buds! See you tomorrow.
