Bound To The Basics: A Devotion To Natural, Authentic & Organic Eating

Blog
At Plant Matter Kitchen, we believe that in order to become our healthiest selves, we have to revert back to the basics and get in tuned with the environment around us. This approach to cooking, eating, and living is implemented—and tasted—in every meal that we cook and serve at Plant Matter Kitchen. STEP BY STEP Plant Matter Kitchen chefs prepare dishes as they’re ordered and use only the freshest ingredients. Nothing comes from a box, a can, or a jar. All ingredients are organic and arrive at our kitchen in their rawest forms—from local farms. The kitchen’s transparent, open concept allows guests to see exactly how their salads, wraps, and pizzas are being made—step by step, ingredient by ingredient. CHANGE IS UPON US “People are waking up,” says Glenn Whitehead,…
