Feel-good food to the table

Sitting in nursing school 5 years ago at Ryan Reisdorf built the Placemat brand.  He believed connecting healthy food with genuine hospitality was the solution for better health and overall healthcare sustainability. He found chefs who shared the same passion for healthy foods and began making from scratch, unforgettable meal experiences in guests kitchens.

Today, Placemat serves everyone from the A-list celebrity, professional athlete, next door neighbor, at-risk students, patients leaving the hospital and people experiencing homelessness. Everyone deserves a healthy, happy, home-cooked meal.

"While Ryan Reisdorf was attending Belmont as a full-time nursing student, he started to consider ways to prevent problems he himself was facing. Namely, a 30-hour clinical workload and living with Type 1 diabetes. His solution? Placemat, a service that prepares wholesome meals in people’s homes. An entrepreneur with a focus on initiating change within preventive health, Reisdorf taught himself to cook and prepare nutritious meals in order to positively influence his diabetes." -- Nashville Lifestyles
