We at Culver City Salads will be closed from December 23rd until January 4th. We have been working very hard over the last year, making so many new friends and growing our business. We are so thankful that we can be a part of your lives and we will see you all in the new year.
Gift certificates will still be available for purchase over the holidays and we are pushing hard to be a part of all of those new year resolution's out there. Please pass the word along to any and all of your friends who are interested in getting healthy in January.
Jokes over. Everyone knows that we need to make a conscious effort to eat more local and seasonal food. We also need to support our local economy, keep our carbon footprint in check, and help preserve farmland. We deserve to eat beautiful, healthy, fresh, nutrient rich and flavorful foods that our bodies crave. Check out getlocalbc.org for a full seasonal food chart plus lots of helpful information. We will continue to source as much produce as local as possible and work on ways to incorporate more of those seasonal gems into our salads. Next time you are at the grocery store please try to choose foods that have been grown as close to home as possible. Or better yet, head on over to the winter farmers market and food truck fest at Nat Bailey Stadium every Saturday until April. Get inspired by the array of tasty delights and maybe even meet the person who grew them.

Hello all and nice to see everyone back in the swing of things. A lot of people are really excited about 2013 and I’m one of them. My name is Jesse Savath and I’m the co-founder of Culver City Salads with Christina Culver, our amazing chef and great human all around.
I am not vegan. Well I wasn’t vegan or maybe I’m going to be vegan or beegan (eats honey) or selectipescibeegan (honey and very selective fish, like I want to know the middle name of the person catching my fish kind of selective). My whole reason for starting CCS with Christina was because I wanted to live a healthier life and I knew that it didn’t take a lot, just a conscious thought and a bit of work. That being said I was always scared to be full blown vegan, could I actually do it? Could I give up bacon? So I started slow, eating a vegan meal a week and soon it became my vegan day of the week and it moved forward from there. It took a long time and now I’m full on doing it, beegan that is. I feel the healthiest I’ve ever felt, I am clear and I have a lot more energy. I want to share with you my experiences in becoming healthier to show you that anyone can do this. Whether it’s taking a Culver City Salad, blending it and drinking it before a crazy workout (which was delicious btw!) or showing you my sad attempts at making delicious vegan recipes that Christina throws my way until I get it right.
Here is my transformation unfolded -
Sincerely,
Jesse / CCS
