How It All Started

Chef Gordon's Local Thyme Meal Prep was created to make healthy eating effortless for busy professionals and families.

Founded by CIA graduate Chef Paul Gordon, who brings 25+ years of experience, from Executive Chef to General Manager of 13 locations. After overcoming breast cancer and building a successful Twin Cities catering business, he launched Local Thyme to deliver the kind of food he believes people deserve every day: fresh, flavorful, nourishing, and convenient.

Chef Gordon delivers restaurant-quality meals straight to your door — no shopping, cooking, or cleanup required. Designed for real life, most meals are high in protein (up to 55g), under 550 calories, and ready in minutes. Each dish is chef-prepared using fresh ingredients, scratch-made proteins and sauces, and locally sourced products whenever possible.

More than meal prep, Local Thyme is about comfort, balance, and making healthy living easier. One delicious chef-crafted meal at a time.
