Kitchfix – the meal delivery company in West Town – is collaborating with Chicago chef Lamar Moore for a four-week “Summer BBQ Series” featuring ready-to-eat meals delivered to homes and offices in Chicago and its suburbs.
Every week during the "Summer BBQ Series" Kitchfix will feature a BBQ themed entrée and side dish crafted by Moore in addition to two of Kitchfix’s best-selling BBQ entrées. All of the hot meals are reheatable on the grill, stovetop, oven and microwave.
The “Week 1” menu drops on Kitchfix’s website (https://www.kitchfix.com) on July 12 and delivers from July 18 through July 21.
Moore spent two days in the Kitchfix kitchen with Katt, Kitchfix’s kitchen manager, and line cooks crafting his recipes. Moore was drawn to collaborate with Kitchfix and its mindful-eating ethos after he started ordering Kitchfix meals for his mother who recently needed to adjust her diet and lifestyle due to health issues.
“My mom needed to change her diet, and Kitchfix was exactly what she needed to start on a more controlled eating path,” Moore said. “The Kitchfix meals are really flavorful while still being very healthy.”
“So it was a natural progression for me to collaborate with Kitchfix on their Summer BBQ Series. It was a really positive challenge for me as a chef to take my BBQ recipes and adjust them to Kitchfix standards. BBQ is supposed to be sweet, savory, and spicy and I really feel we hit all those flavor profiles with my collaboration meals while not using refined sugars, gluten, and dairy.”
Moore will also take one to two of his Kitchfix Summer BBQ Series offerings, re-work them with his Eleven | Eleven kitchen team, and put them on his restaurant’s menu soon.
For its Summer BBQ Series, Kitchfix will also sell on its website a “Smoky BBQ Sauce” made with blueberries and guajillo peppers and a “Banana-Chipotle BBQ Sauce” in addition to Moore’s no sugar-added “BBQ Spice Rub” made with smoked paprika, cinnamon, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt.
Both BBQ sauces and the rub are incorporated into some of the Kitchfix Summer BBQ Series meals and sides as well.
Kitchfix and Moore will donate at least 50 meals each week to organizations in need throughout Chicago they’ve supported previously including Connections for Abused Women and their Children (https://www.cawc.org) and The Love Fridge (https://www.thelovefridge.com).
The first 300 customers who order Kitchfix meals each week during the four-week run will receive free branded Kitchfix Summer BBQ Series swag (inflatable beach balls, frisbees, koozies, and cocktail cups).
