During the long cold winter, our bodies crave hearty, warming, full-flavored food that leaves us satiated. As we crafted our winter menu, we wanted to focus less on seasonal ingredients and more on the feel of the season, making food that fits with inclement weather, bowls with robust flavors that’ll nourish and comfort you through blizzards and El Nino. Roasted Steelhead This season, we introduce the East Coast to steelhead — you might not have heard of it, but it’s a meaty fish that looks and tastes like salmon. Steelhead is a “secret” of the Pacific Northwest, and it’s a fish that’s delicious, healthy and sustainable, with even more nutritional benefits than salmon. The West Coast has been enjoying steelhead in the local OMG Omega salad since November, and now we’re proud to have it on the menu at every sweetgreen. Our steelhead is lightly seasoned and served warm — it’s a savory, buttery fish, without a fishy flavor. Warm Lentil Bowl Our warm lentil bowl is an alchemy of the ingredients we have year-round, like organic lentil chickpea soup, peppers, warm quinoa + farro and roasted chicken. We always have these items on the line, and it goes to show how a little culinary creativity can yield awesome results and totally different flavors that work throughout all seasons. Our Commitment It’s a new year, and with that comes new priorities and new promises — to eat better, to work out more, to be a better friend, to be more present. We all have traits we can improve. Our promise to you is that we’re committed to the win-win-win, to finding solutions that are right for the consumer, the land and the farmer, and the company. And that’s not a promise we make just in January, we live it and breathe it, 365 days a year. We’re proud of the way we do things, and this year, we’re focused on explaining why we do things the way we do — sourcing steelhead is just one of them. On our social platforms (@sweetgreen) and in the pages that follow, we’ll take you “behind the greens” to educate, inform and inspire you, showing you scratch cooking and introducing you to our farmers. We’ll show you what it means to do things the sweetgreen way, and you can ask questions all along the way — just shoot us an email at AMA@sweetgreen.com (AMA = “ask me anything”). Jonathan, Nicolas and Nathaniel sweetgreen co-founders We want to make sustainable choices and help you make them, too. Sourcing this steelhead is one way we can be part of the solution, not the problem — this steelhead received a “Best Choice” rating from the Monterey Bay Aquarium. We went to our source, Pacific Aquaculture, in Nespelem, WA, to see how steelhead is raised in the Columbia River. Read more at bitly.com/sgsteelhead. ® OUR FOOD ETHOS We believe the choices we make every day about what we eat, where it comes from and how it’s made have powerful consequences on the health of individuals, communities and the planet. This is our food ethos, and it guides us in every decision we make. We want to feed more people better food, and we use this as a framework. We’re always looking for ways to source smarter, to make better decisions and to help sweetgreen and its customers be a positive force in the world and on the food system. We feel a great sense of responsibility and pride to change what it means to be in the business of feeding people. Here are the four pillars of our food ethos, along with an explanation of how they manifest in each sweetgreen kitchen. FOOD ETHOS 5 Photo: Jonathon Schoonover Photo: Masha Maltsava 1. SCRATCH COOKING 2. TRANSPARENCY sweetgreen prides itself on serving real food. There is simply nothing better than whole vegetables, whole fruits and whole grains, so these items are delivered to our stores every morning. We don’t have commissaries (read: off-site commercial kitchens) — our team dices, slices, spices and roasts these ingredients in-house every day, and you can see them in action in our open kitchens. Scratch cooking isn’t easy to do, but we’re able to do it because we have simple recipes. And we can have simple recipes because we get fresh produce teeming with natural flavors that we simply don’t mess with. Every sweetgreen has a source list on the wall — we keep it updated so you know where your food comes from. On any given day, our restaurants serve food from 100 different farms, and we partner with 500 farms throughout the year. We believe in a transparent supply chain, and we go to great lengths to work with farmers who are doing the right thing. In the spirit of transparency, if you have questions about our food or sourcing, email us at AMA@sweetgreen.com (AMA = “ask me anything”) - we love nerding out over this stuff.

SUSTAINABILITY We source from partners and growers we know and trust, letting their yield dictate our menu rather than us dictating what they should grow. We’ve learned that the food with the best flavor is the food the land wants to grow, and no one listens to the soil more than farmers. Last summer, we visited one of our Boston farmers, Jim Ward, of Ward’s Berry Farm. Jim was growing a lot of local Hubbard squash — one of his favorites — and seeing his crop inspired us to swap Hubbard squash for butternut squash in our winter seasonal, which is a real win-win-win in terms of taste and our food ethos. This season, we’re proud to source 7,000 pounds of Hubbard squash from Ward’s — give it a try at a Boston sweetgreen. Since day one, we’ve prided ourselves on sustainability, from our store design to our waste management. But sustainability manifests most in the food we serve. The world can’t afford not to think and eat sustainably, and we take steps at sweetgreen to positively impact the food system. Last summer, we teamed up with Blue Hill’s Dan Barber on a wastED salad to bring awareness to food waste in this country, and we’ve altered a few recipes in light of what we learned during that collaboration. And this season, we’re proud to introduce steelhead, a sustainably raised fish that’s a delicious alternative to the “big four” fish our society has been overfarming and overfishing for too long. CO M M U N I T Y 6 Real people, real food. Since the beginning, we wanted to create a community of people who are making better choices around food. On our journey, we’ve met some inspiring individuals — farmers, growers, partners, team members and guests — who share our passion and purpose to build healthier communities and positively impact the food system. Real people and real food are the backbone of the sweetgreen community, and in the profiles below, we introduce you to some of our passionate friends. Be sure to follow the links to learn more.

We became friends, and his perspective on the food system and commitment to local sourcing has always been inspiring. As we planned our Baltimore launch, we knew there was no better partner than Spike — after all, he’s already cooked at three sweetlife Festivals in nearby Columbia, Maryland. To celebrate our opening in the neighborhood, we co-hosted dinners featuring local produce in our new space, the menu being a combination of sweetgreen and Woodberry Kitchen. Everyone has the right to a healthful life, and we invest in local communities with our sweetgreen in Schools program. The curriculum is a hands-on series of educational workshops that focus on nutrition, fitness, sustainability, seasonality and eco-literacy — and we partner with like-minded organizations to broaden our impact. 100% of proceeds from Opening Day at every sweetgreen are donated to local partners, and our New York partner is Edible Schoolyard NYC, who uses the funds to host cooking classes and family farm stands for the community. Over the years, Kate has been a wonderful partner and friend, and the work her team does in East Harlem, Central Brooklyn and the South Bronx is tremendously impactful and inspiring. “It’s entirely possible to cook without considering outcomes, but why would you? That’s where we’ve been for a while, and I don’t think it’s been entirely positive. Let’s think about this a little more broadly — what are we really doing when we cook food? You can cook a delicious meal, but there are other things happening that we need to be aware of.” Read more at bitly.com/sgspikegjerde “We believe that our food system is profoundly broken, and one of the most important levers of change is educating our young people so that they can become agents of change for a better food future — a more sustainable, healthier system for themselves and for the planet. Every child, regardless of their background or socio-economic status, deserves to eat good food, and by partnering with sweetgreen, we’re able to teach more kids about what that looks like — and be part of creating a better, healthier, more equitable food system.” Read more about sweetgreen in Schools at bitly.com/sgcommunity CO M M U N I T Y 7 Photo: Katie Newburn Photo: Alicia Cho MARK WYNSMA ZACK HALL Kitchen captain at sweetgreen West 3rd, Los Angeles, CA Clark Street Bakery, Los Angeles, CA LA sweetgreen guests know Mark as a kitchen captain at sweetgreen West 3rd, but he’s also known in the social media sphere as @markonthewestcoast. After working in New York restaurants and documenting his life as @markinthewestvillage, this Detroit native caught the California bug and moved out west, changing his handle to reflect his new home. His iPhone-only Instagram shows a life well lived, with trips to farmers markets and beaches and a lot of good eats. This past December, Mark hosted an Instameet to Drake Family Farms, our goat chevre supplier in Ontario, California. We brought some Instagrammers from the sweetgreen community to the farm to hear about organic practices and raising goats, straight from the source. Ever met a guitarist turned bread baker? If not, you clearly haven’t met Zack Hall, the owner of Clark Street Bakery, the bread supplier for sweetgreen’s LA locations. Hall’s shop bakes “old world bread” using simple, organic ingredients to create aromatic and tasty loaves of sourdough, brioche, ciabatta and more. With food’s ever-growing role in the cultural zeitgeist, people are celebrating the virtues of whole grains and seeking out better quality breads. And that’s okay with Hall, whose organic, wholesome loaves are the talk of the town. Now that the operation has moved out of his own West Hollywood kitchen, Clark Street Bakery can scale — the day we met, he had baked 600 loaves, and there’s demand for much more. “I am constantly inspired by what sweetgreen stands for and the people who make it happen. It’s truly exciting to be at the forefront of changing what and how Americans eat, and I am beyond thrilled to be a part of it. The instameet at our local goat cheese farm was a phenomenal opportunity to connect with LA’s Instagram and creative community and learn how much our everyday choices can directly impact local farms. Learning about the hard work and passion that goes into making this cheese really made me appreciate each and every ingredient I am fortunate enough to work with on a daily basis.” Read more about the instameet at bitly.com/sginstameetla.

You use simple, high-quality ingredients to start, and then it’s the same thing as making a good tomato salad — you use tomatoes that are in season, and your job is not to f*ck up what nature did great. My job as a baker is to not f*ck up what was grown really well in the field. When I make a bread with seeds, I use high-quality organic seeds, and when I make a brioche, I use organic butter and organic eggs. I see the possibility of something being great, so I don’t like to fall short of that.” Read more about Zack’s approach to “old world” baking at bitly.com/sgclarkstreet EAST COAST MENU seasonal items in green contains gluten vegan Before placing your order, please inform your server if a person in your party has a food allergy.
