We came together around a simple conviction
That there’s gotta be a better way to consistently eat really well and fuel your life without boring your tastebuds into a stupor or discovering that there are in fact more than 24 hours in a day.
What if we could find a way?
To get people great food from different talented chefs doing their thing, in a super simple experience that starts online and ends with freaking great food for your whole week, right in front of you? And along the way build an organization capable of making a real difference on issues we hold dear like transparency, sustainability and philanthropy?
Into the rowboat we go each day
With a unique mix of backgrounds (software folks, food service innovators, event experts, awesome chefs and intentional food/fitness enthusiasts to name a few) and a shared set of values that push us forward and guide our hand.
Chasing this "What if" vision together
Great tasting food, made from the really good stuff, by local chefs and artisans we admire, with lots of variety and choice, in a super simple experience and all supporting important outcomes beyond the plate. That's us.
