Dig

Dig is a restaurant in Harvard Square serving scratch-made bowls, salads and comfort food built on fresh, seasonal ingredients. Its founders set out to champion home cooking in a way that had not been done at scale, and the company sums up its approach as real ingredients, real cooking, real food. Customers can order in line, online or for pickup, and delivery is available too. Seasonal items rotate through the menu, such as Brussels sprouts with sweet chili crisp in the fall or squash with maple tahini.

The brand describes its mission as elevating home cooking and bringing back the soul of home cooking in a form that is simple, real and delicious. Cooking skill matters in the kitchen, summed up in the company motto that knife skills are life skills, and Dig presents itself as a place for people who want to learn to really cook, starting with real ingredients. Catering is also offered, pitched as a way to make hosting easier.
