Grass Fed is a new burger joint in JP, with chefs who previously worked at The Haven (who no longer have a veggie burger, sadly) — after much hype, they finally opened recently. It’s generally very busy, so the best time to go was early one Sunday morning…

Grass Fed occupies  the space that until recently was Bon Savor, a French restaurant and later a French weekend-only breakfast place. The story of Bon Savor is quite sad, but essentially the owners weren’t allowed back into the country from Colombia, and had to manage the company (with the help of locals) remotely for a period.

Obviously, vegetables aren’t fed by grass, so Grass Fed is primarily targeting a meat-eater crowd, but has a few veggie friendly options, including a mushroom burger than had already disappeared from the menu by the time I got to try the place.

At around $13 for a burger and fries, Grass Fed isn’t cheap — but the portions aren’t small either. The burger was a decent size and served on a potato roll — the burger itself fell apart while I was eating it — never a good sign, and of course, totally impractical for walking around, which is something people do with burgers apparently. It wasn’t an issue for me however.

The toppings were good — I didn’t realize until later that you could get any burger and substitute a veggie burger for the meat option. I will certainly return here.
