A Waste of a Meal at Greenleaf

At least it is displayed well.
At least it is displayed well.

As I was getting dragged to Greenleaf in Beverly Hills, I knew my meal that night wasn’t going to end well. You don’t call a place Greenleaf without getting a reputation for having a lot of leafy green items, also known as vegetables. Fortunately, I was told they had burgers, or else I wouldn’t have gone within 100 feet of the place (court ordered).

I arrived ready to grab a burger, only to find they were all out. I don’t think I’ve ever been to a place that has actually run out of the ingredients for a burger, but a place called Greenleaf is as good of a place as any to have my first. I scoured the menu in an attempt to make sense of the plethora of vegetables and finally decided on the BBQ Chicken Sandwich. The only problem was that it came with onions, so I ordered it without. Apparently they couldn’t do this, since the BBQ Chicken ingredients were pre-mixed. I guess the “made to order” concept doesn’t apply to leafy restaurants.

Anthony Bourdain: Unvegan Hero

Anthony Bourdain of No Reservations gets paid to travel the world and eat. It’s not a shabby job, and one I would kill for (almost). Living a life like that, you would think that he might get soft, but this is not so. In his travels, he has eaten animals bits of all shapes and sizes, from sheep testicles to raw seal eyeballs. Oh, and he also hates vegetarians.
