Now open: Fresh Kitchen

Fresh Kitchen, a new restaurant at 7474 Corporate Blvd. that offers healthy meals to go, is now open with restricted hours. The healthy approach to fast food comes from co-owner Ryan McNeil and chef/co-owner Daniel Dreher, who returned to Louisiana after working in New York City and St. Louis, Missouri. Fresh Kitchen offers around 35 menu items, including breakfast selections, and has a focus on proteins such as bison, beef, vegetarian and vegan dishes.

“We wanted to provide a broad range of dishes that would apply to people who have specific dietary goals as well as the person who is just looking for a healthier alternative,” McNeil says.

Most dishes come in a regular or small size that can be easily heated. Some of the menu items include a honey mustard chicken entrée with roasted red potatoes and sautéed carrots, vegetarian lasagna and tofu pad Thai. View the full menu here.

The restaurant will expand its business hours within the next week, according to McNeil. For now, Fresh Kitchen is open Monday-Thursday 11 a.m.-7 p.m., Friday-Saturday 11 a.m.-6 p.m., and Sunday 11 a.m.-7 p.m. For more information, call 367-1117 or visit freshkitchenbr.com. —Matthew Sigur
