Kitchfix Welcomes Chef Cleetus Friedman as Executive Chef
Chicago-based Kitchfix, the healthy prepared meal delivery service, has tapped a Cleetus Friedman as the new executive chef for its premier fresh-prepared meal delivery business. Recently, Chef Cleetus led the company’s wildly successful efforts to revamp the Whole30 menu. Both Kitchfix and Chef Cleetus, are excited to build upon this momentum in the food-obsessed Chicago community and bring more creative, healthy, innovative meals to Kitchfix patrons.
“I am excited to be cooking clean, healthy food that aligns with my lifestyle. I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis fifteen years ago and know that it can be challenging to find foods that I enjoy which also fit within a restricted diet,” explains Friedman. “It’s a creative challenge working in a dairy and grain free kitchen, but I am thrilled to be able to bring my recipes into people’s homes in a way that is convenient and good for them!”
Chef Cleetus will be debuting a new, delicious dish each month on Kitchfix.com. Grilled Peach and Fennel Brisket as well as an Arugula Chimichurri Chicken Salad are featured this month.
Kitchfix has been serving up healthy and delicious meals throughout the Chicagoland area for over five years and bringing thousands of households convenient, ready-to-eat meals.
