Yay! This is the best part of the blog in my opinion. I have had the opportunity to eat at some pretty amazing health restaurants throughout the country, so this is the part where I share my gratitude to all those chef’s making a difference. I can definitely say that it has been a challenge searching out these places so I am extremely happy to share them with you so you don’t have to 
Feel free to create your next vacation centered around these places… that’s what I like to do at least. Travel to Eat!
Overall THK Award goes to: Christopher’s Kitchen. This is by far the best restaurant in the US. There is absolutely nothing on the menu that will not make you die and go to heaven. Thank you Chris!

Hi Kale Enthusiasts! My name is Lauren and I am a certified nutritionist but more importantly a nutrition nerd. My favorite things are farmer's markets, the ocean, my vitamix, stopping to smell the roses and most anything that comes straight from the ground. Welcome to my quest! 
Join me in my quest to find "The Holy Kale" of the health and wellness world. On this journey I will share with you the best way to feed your mind, body and soul so that you can be inspired to express your ultimate health! 
I have been to a place or two on your list. They were awesome. I guess all the other restaurants in your list are pretty awesome.
Great! If you have any recommendations send them over!
I live in Little Rock, Arkansas and we have a relatively new restaurant called The Root Cafe. It is all farm to table food and it is incredible. If you get a chance check out their website and if you are ever in Little Rock stop by.
Thanks for the suggestion Jessica! I LOVE the name and anything with root vegetables is most certainly going to be delicious! I will have to head on over there if ever in Arkansas!
Any suggestions or recommendations for restaurants in the Philadelphia and surrounding areas?
I actually have not visited there. But if you live there, try happycow.com – they are a great resource for vegetarian markets and restaurants. Then please let us know!
Great information. There is also a Casa De Luz in San Diego now. Great restaurant.
Oh I have been wondering about that! There is a Casa de Luz in Austin, that I do miss so very much!
You should definitely add The Plant Cafe Organic to the NorCal list. I have lunch there daily and am lucky enough to work in a building in downtown San Francisco, where it’s right downstairs. They have an amazing Kale salad, everything is organic, and they also have a raw fruit juice cleanse that you can pick up daily, if you’re interested (I haven’t tried it). Great smoothies and raw juices as well as entrees, salads, etc.
Please include Poteger Cafe in your list of Favorite Restaurants. The owner, Cynthia, is a Goddess, as far as I’m concerned… She provides yummy natural local food in a comfy love-filled environment. You pay for what you eat. Eat as little or as much as you want. In old-town Arlington, mid-way between Dallas and Ft. Worth. See website for daily menu.
I will most certainly look into this! Thanks for bringing it to my attention
