True Food Kitchen
OffBeat Magazine|January 2020
Locals don’t have to go too far back in time to remember just how challenging it was to find restaurants that offered a variety of healthy options, let alone cater to them.
MICHAEL DOMINICI
True Food Kitchen

In 2020, we have dozens of dining establishments that give health-conscious meals ranging from Carmo, 1,000 Figs, City Greens, Sneaky Pickle, Green Goddess, and the impressive True Food Kitchen, which opened a grand scale operation on the corner of St. Charles Avenue and Julia Street in late September 2019. True Food Kitchen is located in The Julia, a $25 million dollar mixed-use development next to Bonci Pizza. The brand was created in Phoenix, AZ in 2008 by restaurateur Sam Fox and Dr. Andrew Weil with a menu developed in accordance with Weil’s “anti-inflammatory food pyramid.” In 2018 Oprah Winfrey became an investor and True Food Kitchen expanded to two dozen locations with plans to double that number in the next few years. Their philosophy is “Food should make you feel better, not worse, and that great tasting food can serve as the foundation for a life well-lived.”
