Whenever an Honest Greens opens, the queue extends beyond the street that houses each franchise of this Spanish brand that promises healthy, fat-free and environmentally friendly food. Is the “hype” justified? Ricardo Felner went to try Honest Greens de Alvalade and became a fan of the hummus. And the rest?
At Honest Greens in Alvalade, pistachio hummus and veal chimichurri were eaten with the same joy with which grain was once served to accompany cod and steak was drowned in the wetness of bitoque and avocado was a fruit that we went to try from year to year.
With two or three tricks, everyone can make the best scrambled eggs in the world, the best French fries or the best steak. Sometimes, the difference between sublime food and bad food is just the amount of butter, the variety of potato or when we add salt to the steak.
