In 2012, San Diego Mag named Tender Greens as having the best salad (which Wikipedia claims is some weird dish made up of plants), so they decided to celebrate by opening an all-new, 3500sqft La Jolla location to serve up all of the same locally sourced goodness, plus new additions like Carlsbad Aquafarm-sourced mollusks for local beer-braised “daily steamers”, and a housemade charcuterie and quark cheese plate.
