Nate Weir, the restaurant's VP of Culinary, spoke to the revived menu, stating "100 percent grass-fed steak is an exciting addition to the line up of flavor-forward, [sustainable protein choices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mediterranean-steak-bowl) our guests enjoy at Lemonade" and "By preparing the steak sous-vide, we’re able to offer an amazingly tender steak that’s consistently delicious, pairing perfectly with an herbaceous, brightly spicy red pepper chimichurri.”

As a part of its new menu, Lemonade shared that it would also add a Yellow Curry Meatball bowl and update its popular [Purple Kale & Seasonal Fruit salad](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saladworks-new-menu) with fresh in-season ingredients.
