BERLIN — “Barbecue paleo ribs” are just one of the options available to pick up this summer at Box Bistro on Farmington Avenue.

Owner James Bannon will offer a variety of fresh grab-and-go options at the first storefront for his meal preparation business.

“I’m excited to add more,” he said.

The Southington resident spent 12 years as a high school chef instructor before deciding to make a change and start Box Bistro.

Bannon has also rented out church space in Plainville to prepare food for delivery to nearby gyms and fitness places like Crossfit Plainville, Just Results in Plainville, Zen Yoga Bar in Unionville and Southington’s Crossfit Factory Square, where he coaches.

“We’re looking into teaming up with other nutritionists and places in town,” he said.

The new Farmington Avenue location, previously The Kitchen Table, is being used for food preparation and will soon feature on-site dining.

Some of the meals are marinated steak with roasted carrots and zucchini, sausage spaghetti pie, and spice turkey patties. Raw “energy bites” are also an option to pre-order.

Bannon said he is looking to add breakfast items and coffee.

“I’m excited about it,” said Chris Edge, the town’s economic development director. “There’s a couple different angles to this, it’s not just healthy eating.”

The store is at 1240 Farmington Ave. More information can be found at https://boxbistro.net/
