True Food Kitchen has been under construction in Green Hills at 3994 Hillsboro Pike with an anticipated opening of October 2018, but just two days ago, former Nashvillian Oprah Winfrey announced an investment in the health-driven restaurant chain.
After eating lunch in one of True Food Kitchen’s current 23 locations Winfrey contacted CEO of True Food Christine Barone to discuss a collaboration, reported CNBC.
“I love bringing people together over a good meal,” Winfrey said in a statement. “When I first dined at True Food Kitchen, I was so impressed with the team’s passion for healthy eating and, of course, the delicious food, that I knew I wanted to be part of the company’s future.”
With the added boost of Winfrey’s investment, the company hopes to double its business over the next few years.
True Food Kitchen was founded in 2008 by Dr. Andrew Weil and Phoenix restaurateur Sam Fox. The concept was to design a menu around Weil’s anti-inflammatory food pyramid. The dishes are influenced by Mediterranean, Asian and Californian cuisines and include items like soups, salads, pasta, noodle dishes, burgers and even cocktails.
