Chopped Leaf

Eating out without getting fat can be tough. To keep your pants from getting too tight, you need to mix in a salad once a while. For a tasty salad that isn't rabbit food, check out the Chopped Leaf. As someone who could happily eat a cheeseburger everyday of his life, I was skeptical of a place that specializes in salads. The Chopped Leaf offers a nice variety of fresh salads that are straight forward, fresh, and full of flavor. These are not some vegan hipster raw food hoity toity concoctions full of lettuces that look and taste like weeds. I prefer the Bangkok salad, the sesame dressing with a hint of hot and spicy is excellent. It even has chicken and noodles. Try it! The sandwiches and wraps are good, but they are a bit pricey for what you get. Stick with the salads. If you are going to be eating healthy, go for the maximum helping of healthy. Having to pay for the "chopped" water, a citrus and fruit infused water that they have on tap, seems like a bit of a cash grab. Ordering an entree should include water in my humble opinion. Most places give you water with lemon for free. You can send a text and get a "free" water to lessen the hit on your wallet. This is going to come off as chauvinistic, but the restaurant comes across as a place targeted for women. Lots of salads, big sign about gluten free, no fries, no beer, no desserts, no tvs with sports. Pretty obvious that the target demographic is not the typical male. I even heard someone say that "my husband would never come here" when having a lunch with my wife. My advice to guys would be to slyly suggest going here as a way to win some brownie points, just don't be too overt about it or else your wife or girlfriend will think that you think they are fat and need to eat a salad. You don't want that. Joking aside, the chopped leaf is great option for someone with dietary restrictions. They have many carb free and gluten free options. So, when your buttons are bursting, or you want to "eat healthy", try a Chopped Leaf salad. Take it from this junk food junkie, they are actually really good.

so yummy! and so many healthy options even for gluten sensative vegetarians.
