"A countdown clock on the company's website is ticking off 28 days until Mendocino Farms opens at downtown Dallas's 2000 Ross Avenue, between N. Harwood and Olive. The highly anticipated downtown spot is slated to open on Wednesday, March 11 at 11 a.m. Mendocino Farms opened its original shop in Los Angeles in 2005 and has since grown to more than 30 locations, including multiple outposts in Houston. The chain is known for sandwiches like the “Not So Fried” Chicken sandwich with shaved, crunchy roasted chicken breast, herb aioli and mustard pickle slaw; The Farm Club with smashed avocado; and Mendo’s Original Pork Belly Banh Mi on toasted ciabatta. Salads include bowls such as one featuring avocado, black beans, jicama succotash, and a mix of crunchy fried quinoa, millet, heirloom red rice, and nutritional yeast on leafy greens. Mendocino Farms is currently hiring for its Dallas location and will hold a hiring fair on Saturday, February 15 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at 2000 Ross Ave., Suite 100." - Adele Chapin
