"Local Green, which sits on the edge of West End in Vine City, is leading the health movement in a food desert. So it’s an easy choice for us when we need something quick and good to eat that won’t weigh us down—like painful recalls of the Falcon’s last season still do. The small, brightly colored space has only a few tables, so it mostly functions as a takeout spot. We love showing our appreciation for early 2000s Georgia rappers with the Bubba Sparxxx, packed with tangy BBQ jackfruit that pulls off the consistency of pulled pork. We also dig the salmon sliders, which are enhanced by a slightly sweet bun and citrusy herbal sauce. Even the huge grass wall prominently covering the large curved wall isn’t annoying since it’s promoting the power of greens. We might low-key even be inclined to snap a couple of selfies in front of it." - nina reeder, juli horsford, demarco williams, jacinta howard
