Beefsteak

"Fun fact: Beefsteak’s trademark was initially rejected by the USPTO because the meaty name was deemed “deceptively misdescriptive” for a place that serves a beet burger. Beefsteak seems to have come out on top, because it kept the name, and expanded to several more locations, all of which have big bowls of grains and steamed veggies. If you are craving something besides plants (or if you’re an indignant trademark attorney), Beefsteak does have chicken sausage, eggs, and salmon." - Sandra Rubinchik

"Seizing the natural marketing opportunity, Andrés is also releasing a $30 gazpacho kit from his veggie-centric fast-casual place, Beefsteak, which has consolidated its D.C. operation into one location near George Washington University. The package, which comes months ahead of peak tomato season, includes plum tomatoes, green bell pepper, cucumber, garlic, Gran Reserva sherry vinegar, and Arbequina extra virgin olive oil. All in all, it’s supposed to be enough fresh soup to feed six to eight people." - Gabe Hiatt
