CHEF MARCO RODRIGUEZ CREATES HEALTHY/TASTE MIX FOR DTLA
Thank mother nature and former fitness and kick boxing instructor, Marco Rodriguez for their decision to open another Natural Selection (the Kitchen) in DTLA. Similar in style yet smaller in size to the location in Arcadia, Marco’s tiny restaurant on 7th and Main, is a huge offering cornucopia of health.
In only three months, curiosity and word of mouth, has led many Downtowner’s to discover their kitchen’s new healthy-taste combination.
It’s no surprise this restaurant has so many fans, as Natural Selection has an uncanny way of bringing out the natural flavors in food without over cooking, over seasoning or over processing.
Natural Selection serves food so close to nature it’s almost tribal. For example, the broccoli soup is a modest bowl of porrage that coats the tongue making it feel just right. Then the quick message to the mind, that the wonderful taste you just bit into, isn’t being caused by anything that was ever harmed or anything that ever had a thought of ever being harmed, it’s was just tasty broccoli, and that can’t be wrong.
The neighborhood has adopted Marco as its very own in-house nutritional gurufeeding us his select choices of organic fruits and vegetables. Be surprised at his methods, as they may change. One day he may offer a fruit mix of carefully cut pineapples, kiwis and watermelon; the next it may be freshly sliced canteloupe, red strawberries and orange slices.
Even though Marco himself is vegetarian, Natural Selection serves items with meat too.
Tasty turkey meat. His turkey burger comes recommended and there is no need to ask why. Its delicious. Turkey burgers, grilled Pesto chicken sandwiches, organic egg breakfast wraps, yeah you’re gonna want to try them all. Not to mention, regular doses of his daily soup, Spinach salad, and Veggie BBQ Chipotle burger. One thing for certain, the food at Natural Selection never lets you down or weighs you down. You can eat four or five items on the menu at once and still be ready to get right back on your toes.
Natural Selection is located at 646 S. Main Street, Los Angeles, CA 90013.
