Flavorful and fresh
Each individual food concept is integral to WOWORKS ’ identity . The Simple Greek , established in 2015 by Marcus Lemonis , is a culture-driven restaurant concept that believes in the importance of family and the Mediterranean way . A healthy , mutual respect has driven the working culture of The Simple Greek , and its food philosophy is not much different . A celebration of basic , earthgrown ingredients , these restaurants produce traditionally made food that is nutrient , protein and fiber-rich . Under the WOWORKS umbrella , brands are free to explore different regional cuisines in healthy and imaginative ways . Another brand that accomplishes this unique fusion of tradition and innovation is Barberitos . Packed with southwestern flavor , this brand takes the humble burrito and turns it on its head . By perfecting the mission-style burrito , Barberitos offers a flavorful , fresh new take on the cultural classic .
The creation of WOWORKS ’ foods is unique , as it combines the fast-food experience with delicate , dedicated craftsmanship . Chefs in the Barberitos kitchen spend hours a day chopping vegetables and preparing ingredients , but for the customer it ’ s ready in five-to-ten minutes . This kind of consideration for the customer ’ s needs is present in every WOWORKS brand . The company ’ s ongoing success is a testament to the fact that healthy food can also be exciting , innovative , and above all , delicious . ■
