Real food for people who care but can't slow down
Busy Families
You want your family eating real food - not takeout, not processed. You just don't have four hours on a Sunday to make it happen
Health Conscious
Professionals
You know what you should be eating. You just need someone to actually make it - customized to your macros, your preferences, your week
Intentional Eaters
You read labels. You care about sourcing. You want food that's alive - not just nutritious on paper, but living in the way fermented, whole foods actually are
Two ways to bring the
Kitchen to you
No Contracts. Just great food, built around your life

A philosophy
Living food
intentional sourcing
Fermentation is already in the food
As the maker of Hipster Lettuce ferments, gut health isn't an afterthought - it's built into every menu I design. Your meals come alive with the same living culture philosophy as our small-batch products
Sourcing that goes deeper than "local"
Years consulting restaurants on vendor relationships and responsible sourcing means I know where the food comes from - and I choose accordingly. Clean Ingredients aren't a marketing line. They're the baseline.
Executive chef precision, personal touch
I've run professional kitchens and consulted restaurants on margin-driven, crave able food. That same expertise now comes to your home - without the restaurant markup, the reservations, or the dress code.
Matthew White
EXECUTIVE CHEF - FOUNDER, HIPSTER LETTUCE
RESTAURANT CONSULTANT
My culinary career has always been rooted in one belief:
Food connects us to every important moment in life & is medicine before anything else
After years running professional kitchens and consulting restaurants on food development, sourcing, and operations, I founded Hipster Lettuce - a small batch fermented food company born from a deeply personal mission to bring living gut-healthy food back to the modern table
Private chef and meal prep services are the natural next step. The same philosophy. The same sourcing standards

Three steps to a
Stocked Fridge
01
Free Consult Call
We talk for 20-30 minutes. Your dietary needs, preferences, schedule, and goals. No commitment, no pitch. Just clarity on whether it's a fit
02
Menu Planning
I design a custom weekly menu or dinner experience around your tastes, health goals, and what's in season. You approve it before I shop a single ingredient
03
I come to you
I shop, I cook, I clean up. You open your fridge to a week of real food - labeled, portioned, and ready. Or you sit down to a dinner party your guests won't forget.
