"Green Seed Vegan, a soy-free and mostly raw vegan spot in the Third Ward, serves up a trifecta of third-tier friend energy while remaining delicious. First, Green Seed is a counter service restaurant. Second, even though it’s open for lunch and dinner, Green Seed closes at 8pm, so no late-night hang ups. Third, the spicy-sweet-tang of dishes—like the Big Tosh with maple jerk garbanzo tempeh or the sunflower walnut chorizo Rockin’ Tacos—will keep you talking about the food and not about awkward college memories or that time you both worked at insert-big-box-store-here.
