Founder and CEO Elizabeth Willard left an executive corporate job about 20 years ago to start a personal chef company, originally named Lucia's after the great-grandmother who taught her to cook. After a 2017 diagnosis of Hashimoto's Thyroiditis and a diet overhaul guided by a functional medicine practitioner, she reoriented the business around a "food is medicine" philosophy and founded The Pickled Beet. The company has been delivering meals in South Florida for 18 years and was named among The Women's Edge 2023 Top 100 Women-Led Businesses in Florida.
