WHAT "ALL NATURAL" MEANS TO US
- Fresh
- Locally Sourced
- Healthy
- Minimally Processed
- Delicious
- Unadulterated
These are the adjectives that best describe our approach to food.
All Natural Chicago is dedicated to fresh, healthy and delicious food. We find the best product, do as little as necessary to it, yet elevate it to perfection.
We believe in food and what it does for your body. All Natural Chicago stands at the crossroads of good health and gastronomy, ethics and pleasure. This is in direct contrast with the standardized taste and culture in a fast food world. We believe in the fundamental right of each person to have wholesome, high quality food and consequently the added health benefits that come from doing right by your body. Our kitchen believes in the delicate connection between farm, plate, people and planet.
We would like to take our food back! We are in the business of slowing it down. All Natural takes it’s time so you have good food without taking too much more of your time to get it. The opposite of fast food, we are slow food. Thanks to http://www.slowfoodusa.org/, for bringing the communities of Slow Food Chefs together. According to Slow Food USA, “Slow food is an idea, a way of living and a way of eating. “ The movement is in over 150 countries. They advocate for farmers and artisans who bring wholesome foods to the plate. The year in review (2011) blog entry from the Slow Food USA website blog discusses so many things that are important to us, Tess and Chef Micky, as people, parents and providers of food. Under the search for Slow Food Chapters in Action, it was great to see it all summed up here.

**This entry ends with a very exciting goal…” If we can support 650 more leaders like these to make this kind of change in their own communities, we can build more gardens in schools than McDonald’s has franchises!”
