What is Paleo? Enthusiastic Adrienne DeVore, of the hotel, explains that, “it is based on the idea of consuming what our ancient ancestors did in the Paleolithic era — whole, unprocessed, nutrient-dense, nourishing foods like grass-fed and pastured meats and eggs, wild-caught seafood, fruit, fungi, roots, nuts and vegetables.
Followers believe that that the advancement of agriculture and grain-based diets is a large cause of modern disease and obesity so the diet excludes grains, legumes, dairy, potatoes, refined salt and sugar, and processed oils.”
The delicious Paleo meals are thoroughly satisfying, even in small portions, because the ingredients are so fresh, balanced, colorful and healthy. And let’s accentuate the word, “balanced.” Actually for me, more than the guys, it was even enough for two meals for at 800 calories. What was most surprising to me (a carbo-phobe at times) was my initial reluctance to eat the “potatoes” even though I read on the menu that they were actually leeks!
The new menu fits right in with the powerful and modern Hyatt philosophy of “Food. Thoughtfully Sourced. Carefully Served,” Chefs Felix Nappoly and Ali Parvinjah are encouraged to work with neighboring farmers to seek out the finest in regional and local organic produce and to continue their endeavors to provide guests with options in Vegan, Gluten Free, Perfectly Portioned Dishes (500 calories or less), and now Paleo offerings.

The Hyatt’s global commitment to sourcing and serving food and beverages that are “good for our people, planet and communities.” The state-of-the-art menu addition is designed for diners maintaining a strict Paleo diet, but really is appealing enough to tempt any palate. That was also the case with last year’s Vegan Menu introduction, Breeze chefs are again reaching beyond a traditional hotel dining repertoire to bring guests the most current in dietary and culinary standards.
