If you live in the Culver City area, you are no stranger to the popularity of the Tender Greens eatery – walking down Culver Blvd., its location is apparent from the line of people out the door.

Tender Greens was founded on the connection between food and its source – hence its dedication to using only fresh-picked, naturally and locally grown produce. Using local produce helps decrease air pollution by reducing the need to transport food products long distances – and it also just tastes better (find more reasons to eat local from Life Begins at 30).

Tender Greens does prove that fresh food simply tastes better with their menu of freshly grilled meats, poultry, and tuna, gourmet salads bursting with fresh greens, nuts, and cheese, and substantial sandwiches.

Although lines are usually long during mealtimes, they move at a decent pace, and there’s plenty of outdoor seating when the inside tables fill up. Try to save room for their desserts, too – they’re fresh-baked daily.

Tender Greens is located at:
