“Opening February

José Andrés’ ThinkFoodGroup will debut a new vegetable-focused fast casual restaurant brand, called Beefsteak, with the opening on the George Washington University Campus in Washington, DC (at the new Engineering Hall on the corner of 22nd & I Street, NW). To fuel busy lifestyles and feed the growing desire to eat well, the affordable and accessible concept will execute good food, fast. This is not a vegetarian restaurant, but rather a place where fresh, market-driven vegetables take center stage and thrive as the main component of a dish. The menu will focus on customizable, wildly flavorful meals in a bowl that use cooked-to-order vegetables as an anchor, which can be complemented with a selection of hearty grains, freshly made sauces, crunchy toppings and, if desired, a choice of protein. Beefsteak will celebrate the unsung power of vegetables and propel the goal of bringing wholesome, quality food to the masses.”
