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

It was a frustrating tech day yesterday. There was an "issue" with internet connectivity with my provider, who shall remain anonymous. (But it's initials are Comcast) They have this new tech support system that basically doesn't allow you to speak to ANYONE until you've lit your hair on fire, cut your toes off, and stuck your hand in boiling oil. Apparently that's the way to win customer loyalty these days. I finally got someone on the line today and there was indeed a problem that he was able to fix. But why did it take 24 hours? I asked him this very question and his response was, "You're not the first person who has said this and we are in the process of changing our system so it will be easier to speak to a support person. In the meantime, if you have an issue you can always go online on the Xfinity website to get help." NOT IF I CAN'T CONNECT TO THE INTERNET!
Ok, now that I've gotten that off my chest. I get to tell you what I was going to tell you yesterday. The United Solo Festival ended Sunday evening in NYC with a "gala" awards program. Of course I was in Atlanta and not in attendance. But I woke up yesterday morning to lots of congratulatory texts. It seems the panel chose me as Best Actor. Nice, right? It's not that I needed anything more from the experience. It was one of the best of my entire career. But it's always nice to be recognized. I'll be able to dine out on this for months!
Come see us today. If you make it into the midtown store early enough you'll get to have a strawberry and cucumber salad. Only one bowl, but it's so good. So come on in!
