Native Foods Cafe - Tustin, CA : Chicken Run Ranch

Highly recommended vegan place. Non-vegetarians also enjoy the food here.

Chicken Run Ranch Burger with side salad:

Native Chicken, ranch dressing, romaine, carrots, and onions.
On an organic whole grain bun that is made fresh daily.

I have been here several times and this is a good sandwich but it is not my favorite. The battered "chicken" tasted a bit doughy to me. Altogether everything was good though...and their vegetables are always fresh. The food here is one of the healthiest I've had...so if you want a healthy meal, this is the place.

Pane Bianco - Phoenix, AZ : Mozzarella, Tomato & Basil

Highly recommended. Vegetarians and non-vegetarians can enjoy this sandwich.

Housemade Mozzarella, Local Tomato & Basil:


Paper wrapped

Handmade bread

Fresh ingredients

This sandwich is delicious. I am not a bread person but this bread is awesome! Chewy but not doughy. All the ingredients are fresh.  Plus it comes with handmade candy (in middle of first photo). I'm not into candy either but their stuff is so good. The Meat-eater also likes this sandwich the best.

The website says Pizzeria Bianco.  It's their pizza place which has a different location and hours.  They make one of the best pizzas. Sorry...don't have pictures from there. There's always a line for the pizza place so get there early if you're interested.
