Article on our new store

Guidelive Dallas just did a piece on our new Nature's Plate store! We offer 100% plant based meals to go and have gotten a great reception since we started this 3 years ago. This is our second location and is retail only while the first was our kitchen with retail. The two dishes pictured, sweet potato enchiladas and veggie pot pie are recipes I developed and are two of our top sellers!

Please do! The majority of our customers do not eat 100% plant based - they just want a really healthy and really good meal.

Cliff - I eat about 90% plant based but I do enjoy a burger now and again. No formal food education but I've always enjoyed cooking. Making a plant based recipe that fits in our strict nutritional guidelines is and is commercially viable can be a real challenge but when it hits and gets good reviews, it's very rewarding.

My background is commercial real estate and construction, so I'm spending most of my time planning future stores and exploring franchising the concept. My girl and her sis are running the day to day. Fun stuff.

A picture of the sisters. Both have been plant based for around 20 years. The are 50 and 51 and the healthiest people I know. Annette on the right hangs out at my house.

badass Mark.

you are a lucky dude to have someone that inspires you to eat right.

like they say, if your wife is a vegetarian; that pretty much makes you a vegetarian.

next time i'm in town, i am dropping in for a burrito.
