One Less Decision. Zero Compromise.

The challenge is universal among high-performers: eating well requires sacrificing time. Proper nutrition demands planning, shopping, prep, and cleanup—hours of mental and physical energy daily. Every decision about food represents cognitive load that could be directed toward what truly matters: your goals, work, and well-being.

Culinary 86 was built on the belief that food should support performance without demanding more time or attention. We bridge the gap between gourmet excellence and demanding lifestyles, delivering chef-executed, nutrition-optimized meals with the discretion and care exceptional individuals deserve.

Luxury lies in intention, craftsmanship, and systems that remove friction from your life. Every meal we create is designed to deliver both exceptional nutrition and genuine enjoyment. By handling every detail with precision, food becomes completely effortless: no planning, no decisions, no compromise.

About Us

Culinary 86 was founded by Executive Chef Chris Donaldson, whose passion for cooking began in the restaurant kitchens of his hometown, Detroit, Michigan. Growing up as an athlete, Chris developed a deep understanding of how food impacts performance, recovery, and overall well-being. What started as a skill quickly evolved into a purpose — blending nutrition, creativity, and care into every dish.

“86 The Ordinary.”

"86" is restaurant terminology for removing something entirely from service.

We've 86'd the trade-offs high-performers typically face—between nutrition and taste, quality and convenience, performance goals and culinary experience. What we elevate in their place: meals crafted with artistry and the precision of performance nutrition, delivered with hospitality that honors how you live.
