THRILLIST Los Angeles
Greenleaf
9671 Wilshire, Beverly Hills; 310.246.0756
Due to its alarming dependence on vegetables, and dieting girlfriends' alarming dependence on it, salad gets a bad rap. Have your lettuce and eat too, at Greenleaf. Greenleaf's a chop-it-in-front-of-you salad (and wrap) shop that pays lip service to health while actively accelerating your demise through the bone-crushing application of meat, cheese, and fat-tastic dressing. The enormous specialty numbers include the Mexplosion (including corn & black bean salsa, avocado, tortilla crunchies, Monterey jack and jalapeño cheddar, bbq shrimp, served in a tortilla), the El Chino (crispy chicken strips, chayote, hearts of palm, banana, cashews, chicory, edamame, radicchio), and the Steak Sandwich: flatiron steak, pickled onions, roasted mushrooms, jack cheese, and more than enough croutons to get your rocks crout-off. For mad salad-scientists, Greenleaf's also got a make-your-own option, with over 75 “regular” ingredients and 12 manly "proteins" -- everything from dried salami to grilled ahi to tofu (okay, let's just call it 11).
In keeping with their questionable commitment to health, Greenleaf sports a full beer and wine list, with pairings recommended for each salad -- so even if you're not happy eating your vegetables, you'll still be excited to drink your fruits. Check out the excessive menu here
