What's Happening in Bellevue, WA…

The Organic Coup, a revolutionary business model for fast food, recently opened its first location in Bellevue.

Co-founder Erica Welton said there are no antibiotics, synthetic chemicals, or pesticides in anything served, as all the food is fresh and comes from farms in the Pacific Northwest.

She started the restaurant along with one of her co-workers at Costco, Dennis Hoover, when she noticed that people had a growing interest in looking more closely at labels on food and started buying organic.

Among their revolutionary processes are sanitizing chickens using an air-chilling method, using cane sugar in beverages as opposed to high-fructose corn syrup, and flash-frying with coconut oil. Welton said that their approach to food is not so much focused on what people eat but also helping with the environment, in terms of the soil, the water, and the farmers.

Hoover commented that what the two of them are starting with their restaurant could have greater repercussions in terms of farming methods that positively affect climate change and pasture-raised meats.

Welton and Hoover have plans to open a kitchen in Seattle later this month and have a food truck on the Microsoft campus in the near future.
