Meet the Team

FOUNDERS & CO-OWNERS

Brett & Cassie Dudley

Meet Brett and Cassie Dudley, the founders and co-owners of ‘Pure Meal Prep San Diego’ a husband and wife duo. They have cooked up a fresh organic, gourmet Food Concept designed for healthy foodies! They met in 2016 while working at two well-known restaurants in San Diego, with Cassie as the restaurant manager and Brett as the Chef with unleashed creativity. The two of them fell in love over their passion for delicious, well-prepared, healthy, gourmet foods and their commitment to making a difference in their community.

They founded Pure Meal Prep in 2018 to answer their calling to provide Chef-curated, healthy organic gourmet meals delivered to your doorstep every week. Brett is the Executive Chef of Pure Meal Prep, and Cassie is the Director of Marketing and Operations, leading the way by providing concierge-level service to all of their clientele. Together, the two hand-selected the Pure Meal Prep Dream Team, composed of fine-dining chefs and a dedicated client relations representative.
