Founding Farmers is one of my favorite restaurants because they offer a delicious variety of seasonal foods and are committed to getting their ingredients from local farmers whenever possible. The restaurant serves a popcorn of the day, with such flavors as spicy buffalo, savory rosemary, and sweet cinnamon sugar. You’ll also find healthy options like salmon, flatbreads, and fresh salads, but my favorite dish is the roasted vegetable and avocado sandwich, which comes with creamy goat cheese, eggplant, and peppers.

So what do you think: Is Founding Farmers healthy? What is the healthiest option on the menu?
