Entrepreneur Bets On Growing American Interest In Healthy Fast-Casual Food

April 10, 2015: 12:00 AM EST
Fast-casual restaurants are the healthy growth sector of the foodservice industry, but one entrepreneur is planning to exploit a major gap in the market. Celebrity chef Franklin Becker has teamed with Aurify Brands (Five Guys, Dunkin’ Donuts and Melt Shop) to launch Little Beet in New York City, a fast-casual that focuses on better ingredients and “overall better human health.” The average meal at fast-casual giant Chipotle has a thousand calories and is loaded with salt. A Little Beet chicken plate with a side of sweet potatoes comes in at 470 calories. And, says an Aurify exec about the rest of the menu, “you can actually taste the broccoli, cauliflower, string beans.”
