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

So here's the situation. Our vendors are having a hard time getting turkey breast for sandwiches. Apparently the supply chain has broken down somewhere between processing and shipping from turkey farms. Or maybe the turkeys are all on strike. Who knows?
So the next couple weeks we'll be trying out some new meat sandwiches. This could either be a good thing for people who like something besides turkey EVERY day. But I recognize it's not a great thing for those who may not eat, say, ham, or roast beef. Today's meat sandwich at the midtown store is a real social divider between those who like lamb and those who don't. Like cilantro, lamb has very distinct camps. For those of you who like lamb, you're going to want to get in here and have a lamb sandwich. I think it's going to be good... Mint Coated Roast Lamb with Roasted Tomatoes, Romaine Lettuce, Dill Pickles and Smoked Paprika Aioli. I think that sounds amazing, but I'm in the pro-lamb camp.
Trivia tonight. Bring a team and test your knowledge against your fellow MetroFreshuals. Come see us.
