The Shops at Todos Santos, Concord
It’s no surprise that the first restaurant coming soon signage spotted at the new The Shops at Todos Santos plaza is from mega chain Chipotle. Check out their menu here. The only place that would be able to open quicker would be Starbucks, right?
Yesterday we learned that the vegetarian restaurant The Lettuce Inn will be relocating within downtown Concord which got me thinking about my own meager vegetable intake. When I’m at a restaurant I try to convince myself to order a vegetarian dish. But then I see any number of meat dishes listed and I get an unbearable urge to order that instead, even if I know it will be less healthy. How can I convince myself to eat more veggies? Are you a vegetarian? If so, what made you become one? Health, environmental or something else?
