"I note that Greenery Co. is a new fast-casual, health-focused spot in Hillsboro Village rolling out a phased opening: takeout-only beginning December 8, with dine-in planned for January 4, 2021. Co-owned by sisters Caroline Gaston and Whitney Abblitt, the menu—developed by Austin-based chef Barclay Stratton—emphasizes locally sourced snacks, salads, warm bowls, sweet treats and a variety of nonalcoholic drinks; signature items include the Music City Med bowl (carrot falafel, quinoa, chickpeas, preserved lemon vinaigrette) and a Tennessee Thai salad with blackened shrimp, while guests can also build their own bowls from bases (quinoa, rice, spring mix) and proteins (seared steak, roasted or crispy chicken, carrot falafel) with an array of dressings and toppings. Seasonal offerings include carrot pimento cheese or French onion dip with crackers, roasted carrot soup with orange, yogurt and toasted almond, a soup with chili cauliflower florets, kid-friendly options, and triple chocolate chip cookies for dessert. During the takeout phase guests can pick up online orders curbside on 21st Avenue South or enter the front door to access the pick-up area; the parking lot behind the restaurant provides 14 spots (a rarity in Hillsboro Village), and starting December 8 the restaurant will offer free delivery to designated drop sites within Vanderbilt University Medical Center for area medical professionals. As employers, the sisters prioritize creating a supportive workplace with personal and professional development and guest speakers on topics like finance skills, customer service management and enhanced food safety education. To start, Greenery Co. will be open for takeout only from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily." - Delia Jo Ramsey
"A much-needed fast-casual salad and otherwise healthy spot from sisters Caroline Gaston and Whitney Abblitt is slated to open in Hillsboro Village in spring 2020 in the former Provence Breads space at 1705 21st Avenue South. On the menu (from Austin-based chef Barclay Stratton) I expect a selection of salads, bowls, snacks, and sweet treats alongside a variety of nonalcoholic drinks, all offered at what they promise to be “approachable prices.” The sisters—both newcomers to the restaurant industry with backgrounds ranging from fashion to finance—say they’ll prioritize a healthy work environment and personal and professional development for employees. Interior design will draw inspiration from residential interiors to create a warm, welcoming, light-filled experience, using a neutral palette of paint and fabrics with gold and brass accents to make the space feel like home for guests." - Delia Jo Ramsey
