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

Doesn't it just figure?
One of the reasons I decided to give Sunday Brunch a rest in January was, well, you know, the weather. Isn't January supposed to be in the 40s, maybe low 50s most of the time? What we had discovered this fall as the weather began to get a bit chillier was that our brunch crowd, who enjoys a leisurely meal was a little smaller on Sundays. I figured it was because of our COVID eating outside policy and that maybe taking the winter off of Sundays was a reasonable adjustment. (It's all about the adjustments these days!)
So imagine my irritation when EVERY SINGLE SUNDAY this month has been warm(ish) and sunny! While I have had great Sundays with Richie, I find myself feeling guilty eating lovely brunches on someone else's patio. Lots of people are out and about and I hate that we're not enjoying a little more income on Sundays. Anyway, I've made the decision to reinstate our Sunday brunch on Feb 7. So we're coming back. Plan on it.
I'm in the kitchen at MF Uptown this week while Miguel has some time off, so come see me! Have a great day.
