"You can tell a lot about a restaurant by its most basic salad. At Handle, it’s one with just kale, pine nuts, and cheese, but it’s so perfectly dressed and seasoned that you leave thinking about the leafy greens for days. All the options on the ever-changing menu follow a similar approach—great ingredients coupled with creative execution. Get the honey-glazed fried chicken with collard greens or cucumber slaw and a tangy cauliflower appetizer topped with Sriracha vinaigrette and settle into one of the cozy green banquet booths at this laid-back Main Street spot. photo credit: Blake Peterson" - Jené Shaw
