Sadly, the sustainable salmon was a bummer. The Thai Cashew Quinoa bowl features the same snap peas, zucchini, shitake mushrooms, jalapeno, Thai basil, and cashews tossed with red quinoa. And the best damn sweet and snappy snap peas I have ever eaten. I loved the Forbidden Rice bowl filled with shiny black pearl rice, red japonica (not the flower, the grain), bok choy, broccoli, carrot, onions, toasted sesame, and red chili.

Here’s what I found when I visited Flower Child for the first time: a long line out the door. I can only hope it’s the same grass they feed their cows. The Flower Child menu is inspired by “food enlightenment” and promises to serve “healthy food for a happy world.” I wonder what they were toking in the boardroom when they came up with this concept. A local food snoop reports the same group will be installing The Henry in Uptown and North Italia in Plano. (True Food Kitchen, The Arrogant Butcher, Culinary Dropout).
