True Food Kitchen Restaurant Review:


True Food Kitchen is a partnership between healthy-living author Dr. Andrew Weil and Arizona-based Fox Restaurant Concepts. It's appropriately named, as a sense of "true food" coming out of your own kitchen is part of the dining experience. The menu mingles Mediterranean, Asian and California influences. Start with the edamame dumplings or the Tuscan kale salad. The simple bowl of local vegetable crudités, served with tzatziki and black olive dips, will make you wonder why you don't encounter them more often. Expect to find a turkey burger, an "inside out" quinoa and a grass-fed bison burger between a flax seed bun. Curry amateurs should order the gluten-free Panang curry composed with brown rice, potato, broccoli, ginger, carrot, mushroom and coconut broth base, in which you choose to add tofu, chicken or shrimp. Steak tacos are also gluten-free and a must-have. If you stay on the healthy path, end with the lemon-ginger low-fat frozen yogurt. Also available are cocktails, local beers, wines by the glass or bottle, and "natural refreshers" (natural juices). Other locations.
