Garbage Salad at Grumpy’s

We’re not suggesting that you ever eat garbage, but anybody who’s a downtown junkie knows that Grumpy’s Garbage Salad will have you heaving piles of this signature dish into your mouth like a starving trash compactor. With hefty portions of mixed greens, grilled chicken, four cheeses, raisins, bacon bits and more, the Garbage Salad turns sandwiches into side orders. If you’re planning an office party Grumpy’s also offers larger catering orders, but beware — you may be tempted to overindulge all by yourself.

Beans & Grains at Burger Bar 419

Burger Bar 419 is justly proud of their beef — but they haven’t forgotten the vegetarians. The beans & grains burger is lovingly crafted in-house, and is every bit as decadent and satisfying as the carnivorous options.
