TL;DR
Modern Market Eatery has launched its new winter menu, featuring seasonal comfort food options such as a Brussels & Bacon Pizza and Winter Harvest Salad. The brand is growing quickly with nearly 30 locations across Colorado, Texas, and Arizona.
Influenced by winter’s vegetable bounty, the new Brussels & Bacon Pizza as well as the Winter Harvest Salad pay homage to the season while staying true to Modern Market’s sustainable roots. The Brussels & Bacon Pizza layers freshly tossed dough with creamy white sauce, which is then topped with nitrate-free bacon and lightly charred Brussels sprouts and finished with a light balsamic drizzle. The Winter Harvest Salad also features a balsamic reduction that compliments charred Brussels sprouts, a quintessential winter vegetable.
Coupled with herb-roasted chicken, sweet potatoes and pomegranate seeds, this salad offers the perfect blend of hearty, savory and sweet seasonal flavors.
With a nourishing nod to the traditional French Niçoise salad, the new Ahi Tuna Niçoise showcases Modern Market’s recent protein addition, line-caught ahi tuna. Originally introduced in the 2021 summer menu, Modern Market’s Culinary Creative Chef Josh Chesterson conceptualized a way to incorporate the popular protein into a winter season dish. The ahi tuna offers guests a modern spin on a traditional salad that is enhanced with seasonal vegetables, including crisp green beans, roasted cherry tomatoes and roasted fingerling potatoes.
Modern Market rounds-out the winter menu with its newest vegetable-inspired lemonade addition: Carrot Ginger Lemonade. The drink includes freshly juiced carrots and is infused with hand-juiced ginger and lemon, making a gesture to Modern Market’s commitment to being a health-conscious option for consumers.

Faster food can be better food. That idea led to the creation of Modern Market Eatery in Boulder, Colo. in 2009. The brand is on a mission to nurture happiness from the inside out by making it easy to eat clean, nurturing and delicious food.
Fresh salads, grain bowls, toasted sandwiches and brick oven pizzas rule the menu, along with breakfast all-day options, handmade lemonades and specialty desserts. With nearly 30 locations across Colorado, Texas, and Arizona, as well as Denver International Airport and the campus of Notre Dame, Modern Market is growing quickly and has consistently earned a spot on Fast Casual’s “Top 100 Movers & Shakers” list.
