Eat to Evolve

Renamed

Overview

Eat to Evolve was a U.S.-based healthy meal delivery service offering fresh, never-frozen pre-made meals nationwide. Headquartered in Kansas City's Fairfax Industrial District, it operated brick-and-mortar locations in Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska, Arkansas, and Oklahoma before pivoting to national delivery. The company rebranded to Evolve Chef, focusing on meals developed by chefs and food scientists.

History

Eat to Evolve was founded by Chef Caleb Summers and Dr. Jason Fechter as a paleo-inspired health food company with an on-staff doctor and trained chefs. It launched with physical Evolve Juicery & Kitchen locations across multiple states and expanded to nationwide delivery in early 2020. Amid COVID-19, it implemented a donation model, contributing thousands of meals to local food banks. The company later rebranded to Evolve Chef.
