"Clean" Dallas Restaurants...An On-Going Search!

THE KOZY KITCHEN

Several years ago, the new owners of a little place known for coffee and coffee cake (duh!), met with a CHEK Lifestyle Coach and Practitioner named Scott Herrera.

From that conversation about Metabolic Typing...really, the need for people trying to eat cleanly in order to become healthy to have a place to practice that new skill...was born what is now one of the best "organic" cafes in Dallas.

Owners and brothers-in-law Jeff Wells and Nick Pavageaux (Chef Nick, fornerly of Patricio's in Highland Park Village) formed The Kozy to feed those clients who had been assessed by HLCs (Holistic Lifestyle Coaches) and wanted to eat according to their Metabolic Type. Since those first days, the cafe has evolved to meet a wider range of dietary needs.

But the basics are still in place...GRASS FEED MEATS...WILD FISH...GAME...CLEAN WATER...GLUTEN FREE FOODS - DESSERTS THAT WILL KNOCK YOUR SOCKS OFF...ORGANIC ESPRESSO...HERBAL TEAS...THE BEST BUFFALO TACOS IN TOWN...INCREDIBLE GLUTEN FREE FRENCH TOAST...FOOD COOKED IN COCONUT OIL, OLIVE OIL OR NUTTIN' AT OIL! (Groan...)

...A PLACE WHERE EVERYBODY KNOWS YOUR NAME!

The Kozy, as regulars call it, is a gathering pace for the neighborhood, for trainers and lifestyle coaches, for folks who want good, GOOD food.

Local sports heroes and movie stars can be spotted and Sunday brunch is a kid-friendly affair.

Now, Chef Nick is preparing "slow cooked" nutrient-dense bone broth per the Sally Fallon cookbook. Soup is available on Tuesdays, by the bowl or by the gallon. Please call ahead to reserve, if you are buying in by the gallon!

Do you want catering? How about a private party? To go orders for lunch or dinner? A menu that is seasonal with weekend specials? Want to bring in your favorite wine and not have to pay a corkage fee? Then The Kozy Kitchen is your kind of place!

With the holidays fast approaching, it is good to know that many of the favorites can be ordered for Thanksgiving and they do a brisk Christmas gift business as well. But please call as soon as possible, to place these orders.

One caveat: The Kozy doesn't do fast! Everything is cooked to order when you order.
