Spotlight: True Food Kitchen

Meet True Food Kitchen… purveyor of food for appetite, health and planet, and the “#SeeingGreen Solutionist of the Day” for May 13.

True Food Kitchen is a health-driven restaurant brand founded by Dr. Andrew Weil, on a mission to empower more people to eat real food. With locations across the U.S., it offers a seasonal, ingredient-forward menu of whole, minimally-processed foods designed to support wellness without sacrificing flavor. True Food operates nearly 50 locations spanning 18 U.S. states.

Guided by their belief that “the choices you make should sustain your appetite, your health and your planet,” True Food’s sustainability commitments begin with its menu. Intentionally plant-forward, the brand’s menu showcases vegetables, ancient grains and nutrient-dense ingredients across its vibrant bowls, salads, flatbreads and entrees. The company emphasizes seasonal sourcing, organic produce when available and partnerships with local farms in each region it operates. Its rotating, climate-conscious menus help reduce environmental impact while minimizing food waste. True Food also prioritizes eco-conscious restaurant operations, including compostable and recyclable packaging for takeout, waste-reduction efforts in its kitchens, and LEED-certified design features in select locations.

The brand’s ethos blends nutrition science with global culinary inspiration, making it a go-to for diners seeking meals that are healthful, satisfying and mindful of planetary impact. By normalizing plant-forward dining within a mainstream, mixed-menu concept, True Food Kitchen is quietly but powerfully influencing how everyday consumers approach sustainable eating.
