Mixt expanding menu, opening 9th unit

April 13, 2017

Mixt is not only expanding to a ninth location this month, but it's also adding to the menu.  

The location, 51 Yerba Buena Lane in San Francisco, will feature Mixt's first venture beyond salads and grain bowls with the introduction of Mixt Market Plates, according to a company press release. The chef-created combinations feature herb-roasted and grilled sustainable meats paired with signature sauces and a choice of warm side dishes that change with the seasons, said Executive Chef and Co-founder Andrew Swallow.

"Market Plates were a natural extension of what Mixt offers every day: Healthy, sustainable, easy, and delicious food for people on the go," he said in the release. "Market Plates have the Mixt DNA reimagined for dinner or when our guests are craving something warm and hearty."

Diners will have a choice between herb-roasted, free-range chicken, grilled grass-fed flat iron steak or grilled Columbia river steelhead paired with a house-made sauce such as chimichurri or miso ginger glaze and two seasonal side dishes, such as grilled asparagus with a caper spring onion aïoli and toasted breadcrumbs. Prices range from $10.95 for a vegetarian Market Plate to $13.95 for the fish option.

Market Plates and an assortment of local beer, wine and kombucha on tap, will only be available at Mixt Yerba Buena with a roll-out to other locations planned for later this year. Located in one of the busiest shopping and tourist areas in downtown San Francisco, Mixt Yerba Buena is poised to attract visitors seeking healthy dining options, said Mixt CEO Leslie Silverglide.

"We're excited to open our doors in such a heavily-trafficked area of busy workers and shoppers alike," Silverglide said in a news release. "We're on a mission to bring delicious, sustainable and seasonal food to as many people as possible and Mixt is proud to debut our latest expression of fresh, healthful, whole foods in the Yerba Buena neighborhood."

Opening Mixt's ninth location is the latest in a series of growth moves as it enters its second decade of business. Mixt recently rolled out an expansion of its online ordering options at every location and announced plans to open in San Francisco's Cow Hollow district later this year, Silverglide said.
