Today I ate lunch with my mom at Mad Greens, one of my new favorite restaurants.
I was all excited to come tell you about it… until I discovered that Mad Greens is a new restaurant that only exists in Colorado. Ah, well. It’s another reason to love Colorado. And I’m going to tell you about the restaurant anyway. :-)
To make an analogy, Mad Greens is to salad what Chipotle is to burritos. (By the way, Chipotle was also started in Colorado.)
You walk in, select your salad (or design one of your own), and watch them make it right before your very eyes. It’s high quality fast-food salad.
You can order a small or large salad. Most small salads cost $4.50 and most large salads cost $6.00. Fairly reasonable when you consider the salads are made to order with a variety of fresh ingredients.
I plan to take my wife to Mad Greens soon so she can experience it too.
On a side note, during the time I went (noon), the place was packed. But that’s not the strange part. The strange part is this… I was only one of three men in the restaurant. And I was surrounded by about 25 women! I couldn’t believe it. Clearly, women are way more interested in eating healthy than men are. ;-)
If you happen to be a single guy who lives in Colorado and would like to meet a health-conscious woman, I’ve got a great restaurant for you to visit…

I also love eating with my mom if daily my mom prepare food for me and give me so i am happy and comfortable now.
Somehow I don’t see Mad Greens flying in Texas.
We have a place here called Souper Salad, it’s alright… it’s a salad/soup/bread buffet.
The place I really miss, is Sweet Tomatoes in Oregon… now THAT was a healthy place, and men and women alike crowded it like crazy!
Sweet Tomatoes is another favorite of mine. We go two or three times a month. It’s only 10 minutes away. Even better, they always run coupons that my wife and I use as frequently as we can. :-)
I actually met my girlfriend at MAD Greens in Denver. Best salad place ever! It is way better than both Souper Salad and Sweet Tomatoes (I am origianlly from Oregon) They make their own dressings and have the freshest ingredients in town.
Are MAD Greens’ greens happy organic ones? And what kinds of protein choices do they have to add to their salads, e.g. cheese, beans, fish, meat, poultry?
The MAD Greens web site doesn’t say their ingredients are organic, so I’m assuming that they are not.
For protein, they offer chicken, steak, salmon, tuna, shrimp, and tofu. Also, black beans, canelli beans, peanuts, almonds, and eggs.

Fourleaf chopped Salads in Greenwood Village. MUCH better than mad greens and cheaper too! you want hot babes, hit Fourleaf
