Found Kitchen and Social House
It’s not that the prices are high (they’re not); it’s that you’ll want to eat everything. Found Kitchen and Social House has an updated, faintly hippie aesthetic since summer, and a new chef—Bradford Phillips—who makes veggies fun. My budget for lunch is ten bucks, which won’t get me all I want: local kombucha on tap, three-grain salad with smoky aioli, carrots with cashew butter and harissa and avocado toast with the happy, juicy surprise of fresh grapefruit bits. But if my employer is picking up the tab? Yes, please, bring it all. (Freda Love Smith)
