"Open wide! The Mike sandwich is a tour de force of good-for-you ingredients that include slices of vegetable protein known as wham because they resemble ham. You wouldn't mistake them for Virginia's finest, but they do taste good, especially with the sandwich's habanero jelly."

"At Green, hummus isn't ordinary hummus; it is raw pecan hummus, here teamed with sliced raw carrots, beets, spinach and sprouts."

"Sunday at Green: expect to wait for a table."

"Green is a festive, friendly place, making the most out of a building originally built in 1896. Its stated goal is to be ''part of San Antonio’s transition from one of the fattest cities to one of the fittest cities.'' After I took this picture, co-owner Chris Behrend asked if I was an air conditioning repair man. He was having condensation problems and assumed that I photographed the silver-wrapped duct work as a memento of my visit."

"This vegetable drink is health in a glass; its vivid ginger flavor is sheer refreshment."
Michael Stern
"A far cry from the chili con carne originally served in the San Antonio market by 19th century chili queens, Green's vegetarian version is deftly seasoned and ballasted with beans."
Michael Stern
"Pineapple, mango, papaya, banana and ice make this tropical cooler a hot-weather blessing. Other available smoothies include peanut butter and banana, chocolate and banana, and a very berry blend of blackberries, raspberries, blueberries and strawberries."
Michael Stern
"On a menu that lists side dishes from healthiest to happiest, kale leads the list. Despite its virtue (ok, ok, maybe because of it), it made me very happy."
Michael Stern
"From the Green website: ''We realize vegetarians are discriminating foodies, and we strive to provide a range of options for our vegetarian guests. Many of our vegetarian meals appeal to our non-vegetarian community as a way of introducing them to a great tasting vegetarian experience.''
