To all our Best Fed Greeks, We have been monitoring this evolving situation closely over the last few weeks. The safety of the people we feed and work with is our top priority. For this reason, we are implementing strict safety protocols in all of our kitchens that will continue serving food. The goal is to remain proactive and help limit the spread of COVID-19. Below, you will find the changes that we will be enacting effective immediately. We feel these changes will allow us to continue to feed you quality food in the safest way possible.
Packaged & Pre-Plated Meals
All meals will be served pre-plated or packaged in togo containers with single use utensils and napkins. Think of it as an awesome take-out, but prepared on site!
Meals will be packaged and set out at a designated time and location in each house.
Pre-plated meals will be served through a window on request.
Drink options will be in individual bottles.
Most importantly, the quality of meals will not change.
Food Safety Measures
No one other than kitchen staff is allowed in kitchen at any time
Our staff is Servsafe certified and in order for us to prepare safe food, we cannot allow any students to enter the kitchen
We will be implementing strenuous cautionary measures that ensure the food being cooked is safe to eat. These include but are not limited to:
Not shopping at local grocery stores, unless absolutely necessary
All food deliveries will be dropped at the back door for us to put away, no vendors will be allowed in kitchens
Sanitizing meal drop locations before and after serving each meal
We will be enhancing our kitchen cleaning measures beyond the CDC and EPA recommendations:
Sanitizing every surface in the kitchen multiple times throughout the day
We will continue to utilize medical grade gloves in all of our operations, changing them after contacting non food related items and washing/sanitizing our hands between changing gloves
We are adopting a company policy that encourages social distancing
Our staff has committed to not engage in social gatherings outside of work
We will maintain a minimum distance of 6 feet from co-workers, vendors, customers at all times
Self Quarantine if exhibiting symptoms or have been in contact with individuals who are or may have been exposed to COVID-19
These changes are all based on Local, State, Federal and International recommendations to help slow transmission of COVID-19. I understand that these changes are neither desirable nor convenient for any party, however we feel public safety is of more importance and will do everything in our power to make this as fluid a transition as possible.
Keep Yourself SafeRecommendations from the CDC and WHO
Social Distancing
Keep 6 - 12 feet distance between yourself and others at all times
Do not attend gatherings or visit public areas such as bars, venues, restaurants & stores.
Limit The Spread Of Germs And Prevent InfectionThe Red Cross recommends following common sense steps to help prevent the spread of any respiratory virus.
Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after being in a public place, or after blowing your nose, coughing or sneezing. If soap and water are not readily available, use a hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth with unwashed hands.
Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
Put distance between yourself and other people if COVID-19 is spreading in your community.
Stay home if you are sick, except to get medical care.
Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when coughing or sneezing; throw used tissues in the trash. If a tissue isn’t available, cough or sneeze into your elbow or sleeve, not your hands.
Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces daily. This includes tables, doorknobs, light switches, handles, desks, computers, phones, keyboards, sinks, toilets and countertops.
If surfaces are dirty, clean them - use detergent or soap and water prior to disinfection.
Wear a facemask if you are sick. You should wear a facemask when you are around other people (e.g., sharing a room or vehicle) and before you enter a healthcare provider’s office.
We apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause but assure you that we are taking these measures to protect everyone. We look forward to the opportunity to feed all of you under more desirable conditions again. Until then, please take all necessary precautions to protect yourself and others. This is only temporary and we, as a community and nation, will overcome it. As with all other national crises we have faced, we are resilient and will emerge stronger and more prepared in the future.
With Care
Ryan Shaughnessy Best Fed Greeks, Owner/Operator
A Fresh Experience
Our food is made fresh and from scratch by our professionally
and classically trained chefs. Easily schedule & rate these
delicious meals by downloading our Best Fed Greek Mobile App.
Seven years ago, Owner and Operator, Ryan Shaughnessy, conceived
the Best Fed idea when he took over as the chef at a Greek house
in Lawrence, Kansas. Having spent nearly 15 years in every aspect
of the restaurant industry, and with new additions to his family,
this idea was the exact solution he needed to balance his passion
for food and his family life. Best Fed Greeks was born three years
later out of a desire to share the food and quality of life with his
foodie family.
This applies to all aspects of our operation. When Ryan started this company,
he wanted to create an environment that he would be proud to work in and that
others would take pride in themselves. Company benefits were rolled out as fast
as possible in order to attract the absolute best chefs in the industry. This
mindset of valuing our Best Fed Family is still going strong, as we are always
adding new benefits to our chapters’ and chefs’ lives.
Feed others the way you want to be fed!
Food is important to Ryan, very important. It’s important to all of us. The reason
that we started offering such competitive incentives, so early on, is because we
want to provide the absolute best food and service to our members. We cook from
scratch and use the best ingredients possible. We also spent time creating an instant
feedback loop with our Chapter members so that we can build menus to meet their
desires. With our mobile application, you can communicate directly with the chef to
make meal requests, rate meals, request late plates, set up dietary restrictions
(yep, we cover those), view menus, and much more.
“By building these systems, we are able to ensure that every chapter and chef are
as happy as I was when I first fell in love with this career. I can’t wait to share
what we have built with you! We look forward to welcoming you to the BEST FED FAMILY!”
~Ryan Shaughnessy

Chef Jordan is absolutely phenomenal. Each and every day he brings a new dish and each and every time he knocks it out of the park. I haven’t had a bad meal since we’ve used this service.

I've had Best Fed Greeks for 3 years and Jordan is the best! His food is amazing and my guys love it. Our dining room was always packed and he knew what to prepare to keep them happy. He also has a food truck that we have hired for events and has always been accommodating even when I have to do things last minute.
Bambi Shanks
Chef Mark & his staff are so great! They make great meals and are so helpful. They’re always willing to attend to everyone and their specific needs.

Would definitely recommend these guys! Always willing to go the extra mile to make quality food. Very polite and easy to work with as well.
Trevor Clark
Can't always please everyone, but Chef Ryan and co always kept if fresh with great new meals constantly added to the rotation. Very engaging and receptive of feedback on the meals served, going so far as to set up a small committee that collected and aggregated opinions of the whole house. Can't ask for much more than that!
Tim Svoboda
Chef Ryan, always made an awesome meal, and could do it from almost any ingredients. He was always quick, funny, and made it more than a meal. I would recommend him to cook for anyone.
Hugh Woodworth
I ate this food for four years and of course I didn't absolutely love EVERY meal, but the quality consistency our chefs put out through all that time was phenomenal. The staff was always absolutely a breeze to work with, always being positive, flexible, and on their toes. After working with the company I realized the quality went on throughout more than the kitchen. Ryan and the rest of the crew treat each other just as well as their clients, which many other companies can't say, and it shows. Competitive pricing while catering to our exact (and picky) needs was just icing on the cake.

Chef Jordan is one of a kind! You can't find a better cook out there, but he's also just an awesome guy and is someone you want to get to know better. Everyday Best Fed Greek brings good food and a smile to my fraternity. 5 Star
Connor Christians
Chef Ryan served amazing meals during my time in a fraternity. Him and his assistants were always in a great mood and were always friendly. Highly recommend.
