Natural Food in Dallas

If you are anywhere within a 25 mile radius of Dallas, this is a place you must check out! While on a road trip, my husband and I were looking for primal eats and luckily found Origin. Not only are they a craft coffee shop and café but they also have paleo meals to go. Yes! Paleo! I'm not talking about something that will pass as a semi-solution. These meals are made with organic, pastured, grass-fed AND local ingredients. That also means (I know you know this) dairy-free, grain-free, gluten-free and most importantly worry-free! Needless to say, we were there more than once in our 3 days passing through. We stocked up on meals to get us to our next destination and every bite was awesome.

All I can say is: We as a primal/paleo community need to rally around places like this and hope they appear in a city near us. Like them on Facebook. I do.

Bareburger takes New York

Doesn't that look amazing? Just take the bun and cheese off, add the lettuce wrap and we're talking ultimate paleo heaven. I don't know why it took us so long to find this place, but now we eat there every chance we get. They really get the idea of clean food.
"At Bareburger, taste comes first. See that list to the right? That’s the not-so-secret recipe behind our burgers, salads, snacks and shakes – the most delicious, satisfying and nutritious burgers you’ll find. We partner with local artisans and organic farmers to bring you the highest quality, most flavorful meat and produce available, and we build our restaurants with recycled, reclaimed and sustainable materials."
With an overwhelming majority of their menu being organic, pasture-raised, grass-fed, gluten-free and completely customizable, it is a truly guilt free paleo dining experience. Did I mention you pick your meat? Beef, lamb, elk, wild boar, bison, ostrich, chicken, turkey, veggie and mushroom patties abound! They are not shy about telling you where their ingredients come from or how they were raised or if they were loved and had loads of friends. We thank them for this.

See their website for a list of 13 different locations and more to come.

Pastured Pulled Pork in Pennsylvania

The BrewWorks seemed to only have a 100% grass-fed burger. Then I stumbled upon this: "Berks County pasture-raised, all-natural heritage pork. Slow roasted for over six hours, hand-pulled and slathered with Stout BBQ sauce." That sounds awesome to me! They also have organic and local ingredients dotting the menu. The pork comes from Countrytime Farm and you can see where the rest of their ingredients come from here. Upon further inspection, I see that some of their ground beef comes from a grain fed source. I'm not sure if that is a change that was not reflected on the menu, but definitely ask twice before ordering.

They have three separate locations:

Here is some surprising information for the primal community.


Fuddruckers is a chain that also happens to have an exotic selection of burgers that are sure to be hormone and anti-biotic free. Their unique choices include ostrich, wild boar, bison and elk. Not all of these options are at every location.

There is a Fuddruckers location in all but a handfull of states.
