Description
You can see Homegrown's grasp of the zeitgeist in the progression of ceiling-high blackboards that mark your path to the cash register. The list of hot sandwiches at this Fremont bistro (there are also locations in Queen Anne and Capitol Hill) is followed by cold sandwiches, salads, and combos, then by a mission statement, and finally by a checklist of which suppliers are local, certified organic, or sustainable. "Sustainable" appears frequently on the boards; so does "bacon." Instead of ketchup, there's chimichurri, mostarda, and romesco. Luckily, sandwiches are all about the quality of the ingredients, and the shop's ingredients—the Dungeness crab in the crab cakes, the chicken thighs coated with rhubarb-lavender butter, the fennel and Granny Smith apples in the apple slaw—taste great.
