FARM-TO-FORK The concept is a simple one: deliver dinner. FM Provisions has literally made it that easy. From a mouth watering online menu, one can order anywhere from a single meal to five weeknight dinners, Monday through Friday. This includes a salad, a main, sides, and a dessert, all at a very reasonable price, if you ask us, considering the extremely high quality of all ingredients. Beyond the freshness of the food, is Bruce’s command of flavor. His apple cider brined chicken is heavenly, and is served with roasted butternut squash and an okra bacon gratin. We happily taste Grandma Era’s influence here! And don’t forget the caramelized apple pound cake for dessert. In the end, one of the things we love most about FM Provisions, is their passion for bringing vibrantly nutritious food to dinner tables across Dallas. Bruce says it best: “When you do something you love, phenomenal things happen… It’s soul-driven.” And that’s what FM Provisions is: soul-driven soul-food, prepared with respect not just for the ingredients, but for the people who will be eating it. Several of Bruce’s clients are patients recovering from serious illness, and are using his food as part of their healing process. He sees that education, too is part of their mission. “Too often,” he says, “we wait until something goes wrong to make the change to a healthier diet.” FM Provisions aims at pulling back the curtain and teaching people about the facts of their food. “Not all carrots are created equal,” Bruce tells us, and after tasting his, we’re sure that you’ll agree.
