About Sifted

Jess Legge and Kimberly Lexow evolved from nine‑to‑five founders to a team that believes lunch can be more than a break. Since 2015, Sifted has delivered meals to Fortune 500 companies and high‑growth startups across the U.S., expanded into virtual team building during COVID, and now offers in‑office catering and virtual experiences for distributed teams.

Our philosophy is built on seven core truths: good food is powerful; simple food is the best; we support regular people with big ideas; we learn from mistakes; we appreciate differences; we seek, listen, and act on feedback; and we are our clients’ biggest fans.
