Plaza’s True Food Kitchen has opening date, to hold hiring fair for about 135 jobs

True Food Kitchen, a seasonally inspired restaurant and bar, plans a March 13 opening on the Country Club Plaza.

The Phoenix-based chain — whose investors include Oprah — has been remodeling the 13,000-square-foot former Plaza III the Steakhouse space at 4749 Pennsylvania Ave. It will have an open kitchen, dining room and a covered patio.

It will feature such items as grass-fed steak tacos, the Inside Out Quinoa Burger and spaghetti squash casserole. The spring menu will have such items as spinach and mushroom pizza, and key lime mousse.

A children’s menu includes a banana and apple sandwich, mozzarella and organic tomato pizza, and a chicken teriyaki bowl.

True Food Kitchen has 26 locations in 11 states including Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Tenneessee, Texas and Virginia.

It will host a three-week job fair for its new Plaza location starting Monday, Feb. 4, to hire about 135 people, including hosts/hostesses, prep cooks, pastry cooks, line cooks, dishwashers and bartenders, at 612 W. 48th St. It will offer paid employee training starting March 1.
