The virtual restaurant shares dishes curated by the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen via [Grubhub](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/masterchef-table), including everything from [Rigatoni](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mac-cheese-and-rigatoni) with Cauliflower Bolognese to Grilled Chicken Caesar Sandwiches, plus side dishes and beverages to complete a meal. All of the recipes are developed by the brand's Test Kitchen editors and are produced in collaboration with [Lettuce Entertain You Enterprises](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lettuce-entertain-restaurants), the restaurant group that operates the virtual storefront. The lunch and dinner menu is based on seasonal ingredients and rotates regularly to share fresh new options. The delivery-only concept is especially appealing to those who want to consume content the famed food magazine shares beyond the pages of its magazine and its social media posts.
