In case you lost count, the total number of items on the 4food menu made from scratch is 79. Small batches of hand crafted, meticulously tested recipes prepared daily by trained culinary professionals. Ingredients sourced from the very best suppliers, as local and seasonal as possible, and food prepared without preservatives, chemical flavor enhancers, or artificial colors. This is nothing new for us; serving all-natural food has always been our ethos. However to raise our game this year, we moved more of our production in-house. We grind our own meat, roll our own bread dough, pickle our cucumbers, and ferment our own Kim Chi! In fact the only things missing from this list are the raw vegetables, such as tomato and avocado, which we slice for toppings; ketchup, mayonnaise and mustard - all organic by the way; and the majority of our cheeses - also all-natural. These are just a few examples of how 4food continues to work toward bring you the freshest food possible, made quickly and to your specifications. 

ON THE CHART/CHARTBEAT: AN ODD COUPLE AND A CARNIVOROUS VEGETARIAN

A three way tie at #10 jumps starts with ANGUSSHILLINGTON’S ANGUS followed by another returning turkey in MICHSY’S Pilgrim Burger and AHARRIS’S west coast platinum staple CaliBurger. Two polar opposites attract to tie it up at #7 with DOCKERYFARMS’S The Jerk Burger and HALEYTURNER’S Your GF Veggie girlfriend. Sitting solo at #5 and bringing veggie back is ANGELA1126’S Angela’s Veggie 2. A two way tie at #3 has ALEXC’S Midtown Cheddar Bacon dropping a few spots from #1 and JFAVUZZA’S Better Turkey Burger staying rock solid for a few weeks in a row. ALEXC’S The Manchego Avocado seems to have maintained a stronghold at #2. ANGELA1126’S Jake’s Mac & Cheese pancetta burger, her first carnivorous creation of Brioche-Beef-Mac & Cheese-Pancetta Bacon-Cheddar-Lettuce-Tomato-Barbeque-Ketchup, mooves past the herd to graze atop the Buildboard Chart at  #1.
