Inside Chef Beau’s Klean Kitchen

BY ABBEY HAYES

Chef Beau’s Klean Kitchen offers a weekly meal service unlike any other. The emphasis isn’t solely on convenience, it’s also about how the food makes you feel.

Chef Beau prepares meals with, allergy-friendly ingredients. Meals are also prepared without wheat (gluten) and American cow’s milk (lactose).
