The new outpost of plant-based restaurant The Butcher’s Daughter invites Brooklyn diners to ‘CBD their dish’.

Proving it has a finger firmly on the wellness pulse, The Butcher’s Daughter in Williamsburg wants to top off your meal with a drizzle of CBD olive oil, or spike your green juice with a drop of CBD-infused MCT (medium-chain triglyceride oil).

Cannabinol (CBD) is the healing compound found in cannabis. Not to be confused with THC – its psychoactive sister compound responsible for inducing that high feeling – it has been shown to reduce stress, anxiety, and inflammation, which is why many New Yorkers have embraced the ingredient as a way to enhance their overall health.

Now you can add CBD to food and drinks at The Butcher’s Daughter

“I always try to curate each menu based on the community we are opening in front of, and I felt that Brooklyn was ready and open minded enough to explore a new style of eating,” Executive Chef Richard Rea explains. “Personally, I have been playing around with this for over a year and half and could not be more excited to finally put it on the menu for this specific crowd.”

If you’re worried about CBD adding a funky taste to your meal, don’t be. Rea says it has a subtle earthy flavor that goes with virtually the entire menu. His personal recommendations are the 7 Minutes in Heaven smoothie or the Stone Fruit and Tomato Jam Toast, which has a sweetness that pairs well with the richness of the oil.

All CBD products The Butcher’s Daughter uses are made by New York-based company Plant People, which sources industrialized organic hemp from Colorado. It’s totally legal and contains less than 0.3% THC, because the goal is to have you feeling calm and relaxed by the time you receive the check, not get you buzzed at brunch.
