Our Ingredients

Sourcing the Best Ingredients from Around the World

Organic, Air-Chilled Chicken from California

We have partnered with Mary’s organic free-range & air-chilled chicken. Unlike conventional poultry farms, where birds are water-chilled after being heater for the de-feathering process, Mary’s chicken is cooled via cold air over three hours with no chlorine entering the meat. This air-chilling technique cools the bird from the outside-in which locks in the flavor, and imparts a subtle aging effect, enhancing the bird’s overall flavor profile.

Organic SalMar Salmon from Norway

We serve Organic Salmon year-round that is harvested in the Atlantic off the coast of Central Norway. The fish are raised in large enclosed nets suspended in the ocean by flotation devices where they have a natural, aquatic based feed. The fish has the IFA standard for aquaculture, which is a global standard for responsible farming practices that covers the entire production chain, from brood stock, to farming (including feed), harvesting, and transportation.

American Kobe Beef

American Kobe-style beef originates from Wagyu cattle, celebrated for its exceptional marbling and rich flavor profile. Unlike in Japan, US Waygu bulls are not pure and have been cross-bread with other cattle, but this type of steers still yields much more tender and flavorful meat. These cattle maintain a natural diet, predominantly grazing on grass, thus earning the beef the distinction of being grass-fed.
Menu Item: Ribeye Steak

Angus Upper 2/3rds Choice Beef

Our tri-tip comes from a certified Angus Cow. The grading system for this type of steer follows the USDA grading system. We only use beef that was graded upper 2/3rds choice.
Menu Item: Tri-tip

Eel River Organic Beef

Eel river is a beef ranch in Humboldt County, CA. This beef is typically as grass-fed and organic, emphasizing sustainable and environmentally friendly farming practices since the Eel River watershed region may is known for its pristine natural environment.
Menu Item: Ground Beef

Chemical-Free Shrimp

Due to our stringent standards to give you more natural shrimp flavor we have partnered with Devy Fisheries, situated along the Indian Ocean to source very natural, chemical-free shrimp. They employ a chemical-free approach, which is unlike conventional (IQF) techniques that are often reliant on sodium tri-polyphosphate. Devy’s artisanal process involves meticulous hand de-veining and de-shelling, ensuring superior quality. The farm’s commitment to vegetarian feed excludes animal byproducts from the shrimp’s diet, maintaining stringent standards to preserve the natural flavor of the shrimp.

Our Produce Follows the Sun

When in season, we take a true farm-to-fork approach to ingredient sourcing utilizing our own refrigerated trucks to source local produce. We are talking CA Delta Asparagus, and other produce from Monterey, or San Benito counties. However, as much as we try to source fresh, local ingredients our produce is sourced fresh on-demand from growers depending on the meteorological condition and harvest each year. Here is the produce origin by season:

January – May: Mexico
June – October: California
November – December: Florida

Our Process:

1. We source the best ingredients from around the world. We’re talking Italian Olive Oil, Atlantic Salmon, and Basmati Rice from the foothills of the Himalayas. Not to mention our crops follow the sun from California to Florida to Mexico.
2. Cooking and execution will always be in the deft hands of our capable chefs who, with our dietitians create healthy menus for your enjoyment.

Prepared with Care

Our staff is trained for strict adherence to Good Manufacturing Practices to keep the process sanitary at all times. For example, we use color-coded food preparation tools and utensils to ensure ingredients are at minimized risk of cross-contamination.

All meals are cooked by deft hands of capable chefs to enhance natural flavors of ingredients and use zero-calorie seasonings with no artificial ingredients nor preservatives. Our natural zero-calorie herbs create mouthwatering flavors.

Our kitchen team follows special procedures to prevent contamination that may cause allergies. For example, gluten spores can remain in the air for hours – this is why our chefs makes gluten free items early in the day as a standard procedure.

How Our Ingredients are Cooked:

Our ingredients are prepared to accentuate natural flavors and optimize nutrient retention. For example, to ensure fresh vegetables maintain their nutrients, we prepare and cut them within three days of harvesting. For veggies rich in heat-sensitive nutrients (Vitamin C, B and Folate…) we use steaming techniques to give you greater nutritional value.

We cook protein with lemon, lime and fresh herbs. We marinade all meats to round out flavor profiles, and retain moisture. This keeps the meat tender and very soft. We also use dry heat cooking methods to bring out rich flavors with caramelization and browning.
