Best Sourcing, Period.
We cook exclusively with the finest ingredients: local, organic, and in-season produce; grass-fed, pasture-raised beef; premium aquacultured and wild-caught seafood; and trusted poultry such as Jidori and Mary’s chicken. We source from the same farms, fisheries, and butchers relied on by top Los Angeles restaurants. If it is factory-farmed, heavily sprayed, or mass-produced, it does not make it into our kitchen or onto your plate.
The Science Behind Real Fuel
This isn’t a diet. No fads here. We don't even count macros. This a smarter, easier way to fuel your body, backed by real results and actual experimentation. By eliminating refined sugars, simple carbs, and low-quality oils, we help your system shift into clean, energy efficient mode. The result? Sustained fat burning, sharper focus, and balanced energy throughout the day.
And the best part? We handle the hard work. With 90% of the process done for you, all that’s left for you is to heat, eat, and thrive.
Chef's Mission
I’ve worked in demanding worlds where energy, focus, and resilience matter. What I learned is simple: the quality of your food shapes the quality of your life.
When I rebuilt my own health, I stripped my cooking down to the fundamentals: grass-fed meats, responsibly sourced seafood, organic produce, clean fats, no sugar and no seed oils. Real, beautiful whole-food, cooked with intention.
The Gourmet Animal was born from that philosophy. Not as meal prep, but as an alternative to an industrial food system that prioritizes profit over people.
This is a business built from passion, designed to support both local ecosystems and whole-body health. For those who want to feel better, perform better, and eat with integrity, we exist for you.
We size our plans in lbs per entree, meaning each entree you receive would be either a 1/2 lb, 3/4lb, 1 lb, or 1.5lb portion. All vegetable sides are designed for 2 servings each.
3-Day Plan- You will receive 3 entrees and 3 sides, all the under 3-Day Menu on Next Week's Menu. Six dishes total x 2 servings each = 6 Meals.
5-Day Plan- You will receive ALL of the dishes on Next Week's Menu. That is 5 entrees and 5 sides. Each dish has two servings for 10 meals.
For example, if you order the 3-Day 1lb Plan, then you would have 2 servings of 8 oz of each entree. And two servings of 5 oz of each vegetable side.
Not exactly. We prepare a fixed menu each week that includes 5 protein dishes, 4 vegetable dishes, and a Salad. You may choose to swap a protein on the menu for another by selecting which protein you don't want at checkout. The kitchen will substitute another entree from the Week's Menu if you are on the 3-Day Plan. If you are on the 5 Day plan, we will double up an entree for you.
We don't allow cherry picking the menu every week. But if you want to email support@thegourmetanimal.com we'll do our best to accomodate.
No. We don't count macros and don't believe in counting them. Our food is gourmet healthy and comprised of best in class proteins, local vegetables, organic dairy, and single source olive oil, ghee butter, coconut oil, and tallow.
When you eat this way, counting Macros is a thing of the past. But if it's important to you, we urge you to track your own using an online app.
The Gourmet Animal meals are fully cooked and ready to eat, but you will need to be okay with reheating the food. We intended you to slow down, and reheat the food in a pan with oil or in the oven. We don't recommend t microwaving this food, to get the full experience of our intentions at home. We provide easy-to-follow reheating instructions for each dish on the menu included with every delivery.
From organic family farms and local purveyors who grow and harvest the best products you can find in Southern California.
Every week! Our chefs create a fresh, innovative menu featuring 5 protein dishes, 4 vegetable sides, and an incredible market salad so our food never gets boring.
All of your meals are delivered together on Sunday between 9am - 12pm. See our delivery page for more info.
Each dish is packaged ala carte. Entrees and veggies are packed separately. Giving you flexibility on what to eat with what and when.
We also include a sauce box with sauces on the side, unless they are a Main component of the dish like Chicken Tagine and Beef Bolognese, then the sauces are included with the dish.
