The fast-casual restaurant focuses on sustainable, healthy food made from minimally processed ingredients, such as fresh vegetables and organic grains, among others.
Its menu uses a build-your-own concept: Choose your vessel (bowl, wrap or salad), choose your grain (brown or jasmine rice, organic quinoa or non-grain: spiral-cut carrots and zucchini), choose a protein (grilled or crunchy antibiotic-free chicken, organic tofu or wild Alaskan salmon) and top it with specialty house-made sauces and seasonal vegetables.
Founded by Gail and Keith Kitsis in 1994 in the St. Louis area, Crazy Bowls & Wraps operates 16 stores in three markets: Missouri, Illinois and Ohio.

Crazy Bowls & Wraps recently unveiled its summer menu, featuring a new Mediterranean Watermelon Salad, made with mixed greens, mint, watermelon, red onion, feta, olive oil and fresh lime juice.
