EL SEGUNDO, Calif.– Fresh & Easy Neighborhood Market has launched ‘Kitchen To Go,’ several innovative ranges of over 150 chef-created, prepared meal bowls, appetizers, side dishes, and entrees. ‘Kitchen To Go’ is designed to give busy customers new, delicious and wholesome take-out options that can serve one person to a whole family.
In creating ‘Kitchen To Go,’ Fresh & Easy’s team of development chefs were given free rein to come up with exciting new meals focused on unique and seasonal flavors. These restaurant-quality dishes include American, Italian, Asian and Mexican selections, ranging in price from $1.99 to $9.99 and make up hundreds of meal combinations. The ‘Kitchen To Go’ items are made at Fresh & Easy’s Campus, which includes its kitchen, produce and meat facilities and are delivered fresh to stores daily.
“Customers tell us all the time about how busy they are and many feel greasy fast food is their only easy option,” said Katie Jaeger, Fresh & Easy Development Chef. “Now that there are essentially four restaurants under one roof at Fresh & Easy, customers can get their favorite dishes to easily heat up at home. It’s our new take on take-out and we’re excited to offer so many affordable, wholesome and delicious meal options.”
