What: EATnaked.LA is a new meal prep delivery service located in North Hollywood with fully customizable menus. The added plus: It is also a bright, modern, dine-in/carry-out, fast-casual eatery with a handful of tables.  

The backstory: Owner/chef Fernando Restrepo is a classically trained violinist who grew up in a family that loved to cook. As an adult, he decided to combine a new passion—fitness—with food. EATnaked.LA was born—first out of his own kitchen, then a commercial kitchen nearly a year ago with 150 plates sold every few weeks, and now with this real brick-and-mortar 818 location where he is serving more than 6,000 plates a month.

Who: Anyone interested in a healthy way of eating. Fernando says his current clientele includes “athletes, trainers, moms, patients with diabetes, cancer survivors, college students, etc., that all need different requirements in their meal plans.” 

The difference: All food is freshly cooked without preservatives and not flash-frozen. Menus can be personalized for any, and all, needs.

How to order: Go to the website and find choices for three-, five-, six- and seven-day meal preps. Each meal is proportioned with six ounces of protein, a side (3/4 cup) and veggies (1 cup). Each meal can be customized. Fernando and his staff are also on hand to design menus for individual needs.

The restaurant: Go in and try a plate. Build it with a protein (fish, chicken, skirt steak, ground turkey), veggie and a side for $8.95. There are also soups, sandwiches and breakfast dishes, including an omelet, breakfast burrito and oatmeal.

Pricing: It is quite the deal for fresh, ready-made food averaging $10 a meal.

How to get it: Pick up in North Hollywood during business hours (below) or set up delivery between 7 and 10 p.m. (up to 25 miles) Sunday to Tuesday and Friday.
