When we think about dining out or grabbing a quick bite to eat, the term “real food” may not always come to mind. Oftentimes, we associate restaurants and cafes with convenience and speed, but to us at Thomas Cuisine, the quality of the ingredients used and the integrity of each dish we serve is paramount. Let’s highlight some of our everyday items that you may not realize are scratch-made food hiding in plain sight within our cafes!
The Hidden Gems on Your Plate
Fresh Salad Dressings
Have you ever drizzled a tangy balsamic vinaigrette or a creamy ranch dressing over your salad and wondered if it was made from scratch? Chances are, ours is! Our chefs take pride in whipping up these dressings in-house, using carefully selected herbs, oils, and spices to elevate your salad experience.
Your Favorite Condiments
Aioli, pickles, salsas, specialty dips, BBQ sauce — these condiments are staples in many of our meals. What you might not know is that we craft many of these condiments from scratch, using fresh ingredients. It’s all about elevating the ordinary to the extraordinary.
House-Roasted Meats
That succulent roast beef or tender turkey breast in our sandwiches aren’t store-bought deli meat. We roast many of these meats ourselves, ensuring that they are seasoned to perfection and sliced fresh for your enjoyment. It’s all about that authentic flavor and texture.
Freshly Baked Goods
English muffins, bao buns, sourdough, and trail mix bars are just a few of the house-made baked goods that we take pleasure in offering. Our bakers start their day early, mixing, kneading, and baking with clean ingredients to create a higher quality of baked good for your enjoyment.
Soups that Warm the Soul
There’s nothing quite like a bowl of hot, comforting soup on a chilly day. Our soups are simmered from scratch, with hand-chopped vegetables, flavorful broths, and a lot of love. From classic chicken noodle to tomato basil bisque, each spoonful is a testament to our commitment to REAL food.
Why We Prioritize Real Ingredients and Real Food
So, why prepare real food from scratch when many companies defrost pre-packaged alternatives as an approach to foodservice? The answer is simple: we believe in providing wellness to those we serve. For us, that means starting with the freshest, highest-quality ingredients and crafting each dish with care. In this way, we encourage health through delicious food while supporting local farmers and producers across the nation.
