Lettuce Be Good

The Lettuce Be Good Company is an American apparel and accessories wholesaler, retailer, and lifestyle brand founded in 2023 and best known for its Chef developed recipes, cheeky, uplifting, and positive messages with a diverse range of graphic tees, housewares, and accessories with unique and fun designs that are each designed and drawn by Chef Nikki Trzeciak. Every purchase from Lettuce Be Good results in donating one meal to someone in need, making it easy for socially conscious consumers to give back with every purchase. 

In 2022, partners Chef Nikki Trzeciak and Heather Estrada designed their first shirts. They began selling their designs on Etsy. With a bit of success in selling on Etsy, they evaluated the direction of their business and decided that they wanted to make a difference in their community and beyond.

While on a trip to New Orleans, they stopped in to eat at Turkey and the Wolf, who famously have a donated meal on their menu, which they put in a refrigerator in the parking lot. That sparked the idea for One Purchase = One Meal. Once they determined how they would give back, they decided on World Central Kitchen, founded by one of the culinary icons of our time, Chef Jose Andres. Learn more at wck.org.

A Word From Chef Nikki: 

As a Chef, one of my favorite expressions of Love is through food, and I believe that Food is Love. Here at LBG we are focused on "Loving Better" at home, in our communities, and out in the world, so every time you show us love and make a purchase we will pass that love on and donate 1 meal to World Central Kitchens, who like us believes that Food is a Universal Humanitarian Right; they are on the front lines providing fresh meals in response to humanitarian, climate and community crisis.
