    True Food Kitchen Serves Dairy-Free Dishes that the Doctor Ordered

    0
    By Alisa Fleming on February 9, 2023 Dining Out, Suggested Restaurants, U.S. Restaurants

    Updated November 2023! True Food Kitchen is a rapidly expanding, healthy, table-serve restaurant chain that was founded by Dr. Andrew Weil. Their menu closely adheres to the principles of his popular anti-inflammatory diet. Consequently, they serve a wide selection of dairy-free, gluten-free, vegan, and vegetarian options with Mediterranean, Asian, and Californian influences.

    Menus, ingredients, kitchen procedures, management, food sourcing, and restaurant protocols are subject to change at any time. Always read the menu and discuss your dietary needs with the staff before ordering. Make sure they can accommodate your situation. This post is for informational purposes only, and should not be construed as advice.

    There is always a risk for potential cross-contamination of allergens in any commercial kitchen.

Listings here do not guarantee that a restaurant is safe enough for your individual needs. Only you can make that decision.

    Each location of a chain restaurant has different management and staff, and some might have different owners. This means differences in processes, ingredients used, menu options, and food sourcing can occur. Always verify the safety of your order for your needs at your current location.
