Farmhouse Avocado, maybe Peachy's favorite but truthfully, she loved them all
Ordinary people live in a world where some people say, "Oh that's just a Caesar Salad." Meaning: I believe my restaurant is capable of so much more. We call those places underachievers and moreover, one-hit-wonders. We like Caesar Salads, and many people do, and like CHEESEBURGERS, you ought to have Caesar Salads done properly in your venue to be competitive in Manhattan.
If you are a restaurant owner and have anything at all on your menu, it should always be something you are proud of and a dish that is competitive.If you are looking for the casually ambitious, you are not in the right place on this site.
If you also care to inhabit an extraordinary world, you are in the right place.
Anything that anyone does that we publish on here, you can be assured, is done in an extraordinary way.
And, it's not who you know, it's WHOM YOU KNOW. We know Kaegan Welch and his Little Food Co, which is not so little after all in talent or taste. Most recently, Little Biggs earned Peachy's Picks status. And hot on its heels is our fourth Kaegan experience and our second with these exclusive salads! Extravert was first featured here.
Do not be fooled by the takeout containers: this is white-tablecloth quality cuisine and it is by far the best and cleanest food court we have ever seen not to mention has the cleanest public bathrooms. The Extravert Kale Caesar Salad is tremendously delicious boasting great depth of quality from the ideally grilled chicken to the superior shredded Parmesan and the kale and radicchio base providing a vivid wow factor. The croutons fittingly sing back up properly in their supporting role and futhermore, the Parmesan is also presented crispy on top, providing a lovely crunch.
Not ordinary.
Extraordinary.
Extravert is a Peachy's Pick now!
Salads here are sophisticated, coveted, interesting, innovative and FUN!
Pictures are always unedited.
The truth is everything is exactly this vivid: it is fresh, it is nutritious, and it should be your dinner now.
For someone that doesn't like Miso anything, Peachy Deegan liked the Miso Salmon at Extravert, above. The roasted Salmon is smiling at you as it knows it has lead billing in this flick. Extravert knows how to mix ingredients to achieve maximum flavor and taste without going overboard, approaching exactly the right amount of interesting in every course. Brown rice, avocado, edamame (also the only time we think we have ever liked it), red cabbage, FABULOUS WATERMELON RADISH (which we would like to see more often), smoked almonds and Furikate (dried sesame seeds spiced and seasoned with Nori Seaweed) combine for a winner. If you just looked at the ingredients and rolled your eyes, that would be appropriate perhaps at a less talented venue however here, it is a wonder to behold. You have to have it.
Harvest Bowl is the epitome of the Fall Season. Quinoa, kale, arugula, beets, apples, roasted sweet potatoes, dried cranberries, spiced pecans and lemon maple vinaigrette team up to sing a song of autumn! And, the dressing was always on the side in all cases here as we requested. Normally, it is always tossed but Extravert aims to make you happy so order as you see fit! Speaking of which, you know who is not a fan of goat cheese and though it is part of the salad, it was on the side for Peachy as shown.
Farmhouse Avocado maybe is our favorite, although we liked everything featured. Avocado, romaine, mixed greens, cucumber, tomatoes, red cabbage, AGAIN FABULOUS WATERMELON RADISH, pickled onions, carrots, and house croutons teamed up for a winning goal in Peachy's stomach. AND IN THIS CASE, SHE LIKED THE BUTTERMILK RANCH DRESSING!!! Yes, in about 1 or 2 percent of the cases she finds salad dressing she likes.
It has been said that the Mediterranean diet is the healthiest, and so we present the Mediterranean! Romaine, tomatoes, pickled onions, cucumber, roasted red pepper, hummus, feta and pita chips make this properly evocative of Southern Europe. Normally, tapenade vinaigrette comes the party but you know who does not care for black olives (she only likes Castelvetrano green ones from Italy.) And so she got balsamic on the side. Note in all cases everything is made to order and is totally absolutely fresh and exactly the way you order it. This is nothing like an inferior salad chain. It is a majestic homage to perfect produce and great health.
You have to try the fresh Juices and Smoothies, and again, of course they are made to order. For juices you can choose a base of apple, carrot or coconut water. We chose apple for DAILY GREENS: lemon, kale, apple, cucumbers and celery. For smoothies, your base choices are coconut, oat, almond milk or coconut water. No one who actually knows Peachy will be surprised that she again subed in the apple juice base to party with BERRY BOOT CAMP: strawberries, blueberries, mango and acai, an Amazonian superfood berry. Try it, you will probably like it like Peachy.
You will feel spectacular after eating such fresh, authentic salads and drinking such vitamin-packed juices you will be your own best version of a superhero.
Also, you can build your own which is perfect if you are as picky as Peachy.
Note as Kaegan sources everything fresh constantly, some items may vary from day to day to ensure premium quality. Here, we show two salads where Peachy chose everything.
You can do this too, it is not especially for Peachy.
It can be a salad, bowl or wrap.
It includes base (arugula, romaine, mesclun or kale), five vegetables, spread, crunch and house dressing.
There is also a series of extras which we will revisit in the future that incorporates a lot of protein and even more extras: we count eleven extras.
First, with a romaine base, we chose to add tomato, cucumbers, EXTRAORDINARILY DELICIOUS ROASTED MUSHROOMS, red cabbage, sprouts, roasted sweet potato, spicy peanuts and thai peanut dressing was on the side.
Below, with a kale base, we chose to add raw red beets, radicchio, carrots, SUPERB ROASTED BROCCOLI, roasted red pepper and crispy shallots. A South Korean dressing was offered on the side and as well as a finishing sauce incorporating gochujang. Going to eat here can be like an exotic vacation!
