Today we’d like to introduce you to Alan Jackson.
Alan Jackson is the founder and vision behind Lemonade, enticing Californians with the simple allure of beautifully prepared salads, hearty braised meats, satisfying sandwiches, decadent desserts, and of course, thirst-quenching lemonades. A California native, Alan named the restaurant “Lemonade” because of the bright and comforting feeling you get when you simply say the word. The original sunny day spot!
An accomplished chef in Los Angeles, Alan decided to ditch the upscale dining scene to launch the first Lemonade in West Hollywood in 2008, craving to create a chef-driven, contemporary approach to fine food. . . done fast. Alan’s confident yet relaxed concept has curated a loyal following and nurtured Lemonade into a neighborhood favorite.
Who was Lemonade designed to cater to?
Lemonade caters to people looking for a quick lunch or a healthy grab-and-go dinner for the family. We believe good food is in the taste buds of the beholder and a mouthwatering, quality meal is for everyone. We aspire to take the elitism out of conscious eating and put emphasis on convenience, flexibility, and affordability.
Lemonade – what should we know? What do you guys do best? What sets you apart from the competition?
The Menu: California-Focused & Seasonally Driven
A healthy alternative to fast food, Lemonade boasts a playful, vegetable-centric menu that draws from a variety of global influences and changes seasonally several times per year, allowing us to offer creative dishes at an affordable price point. Anchored by our fresh array of marketplace salads, the cafeteria-style setting invites you to ‘eat colorfully’ by grabbing a tray and choosing from a flexible selection of hot and cold seasonal dishes that are designed to mix-and-match, which perfectly fit today’s on-the-go lifestyle.
Committed to welcoming the varied needs of today’s modern diners, we offer vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options, as well as a range of distinctive a la carte proteins, slow-cooked braised meats, artisan sandwiches, desserts, and, of course, a selection of fresh lemonades. With over 50 unique menu options, you can take comfort in knowing that our dishes are prepared with care—so instead of leaving tired, you will leave us inspired.
What is “success” or “successful” for you?
Eating your vegetables shouldn’t feel like punishment. Lemonade has become the people’s choice for the freshness and originality of our food, showcasing vibrant vegetables in a fun, creative way. While our seasonally changing menu is rich in color and diverse in options, the environment is never overbearing. Food and community are always the co-stars.
