The most recent addition to the downtown food scene is something familiar to fans of its Main Street Market stall. Patrick Fellows opened a brick-and-mortar version of Fresh Junkie over the summer in a prime location along North Boulevard’s Town Square.
The shop offers plenty of salads and wraps, including the popular Brickhouse, with grilled asparagus, edamame, grape tomatoes, Parmesan cheese and their signature dressing. On a recent visit, we opted for the Thai salad with grilled chicken ($9). Featuring plenty of mixed greens, carrots, cucumbers, red bell peppers, chopped snow peas and cilantro, this salad is enough to divide across two meals or share with a coworker. The addition of chopped grilled chicken brought a flavorful helping of protein to the mix. We asked for the spicy peanut dressing on the side, so we could choose how generous to be with it.
While Fresh Junkie doesn’t have seating for dining in, it provides an easy and healthy option for downtown professionals or visitors to take away. Once the weather cools off, it will be hard to resist taking one of their salads to a park bench across the street in Town Square and enjoying an outdoor lunch far away from your cubicle. freshjunkie.com
