EMOTIONAL SUPPORT MEALS
In these economically uncertain times, customers are increasingly cautious of overly processed foods—instead looking to nostalgic, authentic dishes made with whole fruits, vegetables, and meats that are dependably delicious.
- Sweetgreen emphacizes “real food” with a seasonal, plant-forward menu. Dishes like the Harvest Bowl with sweet potatoes and apples and the Chicken Pesto Parm Bowl with spicy broccoli and garlic breadcrumbs are comforting and healthy—very on-trend.
- True Food Kitchen offers seasonal soups such as creamy roasted butternut as well as sourdough pizzas that focus on toppings like roasted mushrooms, caramelized onions, and fresh herbs rather than processed meats.
- Earl’s uses only real avocado in their chunky guacamole, then updates it with charred corn and the popular spice blend Tajin.
- Urban Plates pairs grass-fed chimichurri steak with garlicky mashed potatoes, charred Brussels sprouts, and grilled rustic bread. Simple yet sophisticated.
