Our Kitchen Principles

  • Hamburgers are made with fresh ground beef from cows raised on vegetarian feed and never given antibiotics or hormones.
  • Turkey breast and chicken are raised without antibiotics as a routine feed additive.
  • We use locally grown and organic produce whenever possible.
  • All seafood purchases, wild and farmed, follow the sustainability guidelines of the monterey bay aquarium’s seafood watch program.
  • All of our pork comes from sows raised in higher-welfare group housing, without unnecessary reliance on cruel gestation crate confinement systems.
