Evos


After a spending a chunk of Saturday at the Ringling Brothers circus (Zing Zang Zoom) in downtown Atlanta, we decided to head a bit north in the city to visit a healthy fast food place I heard about: Evos.

Why can't this place be closer to where I live? I fell in love.




This was my selection. Tasted great. Of course, I didn't check the nutrition guide until after I ate it. I then realized that at 660 calories, plus 150 for dressing and 80 for rice noodles, I had by far the most fattening item on the menu. A good lesson: whenever a menu includes Thai food with a peanut sauce, it's gonna be high in calories.


Now, Ben on the other hand, went for the double-stack burger with airfries. They don't deep fry anything in this store. Ben said he missed the grease in the burger. I thought it was really good. More "beef" tasting than most burgers. And I love the taste of red meat, even though I don't eat it often. The burgers come from organic grass-fed beef. Two-thumbs up.


The fries are air-baked. My kids gobbled them up. Four flavors of ketchup available, from original to garlic to fiery hot - all organic.


The chocolate shake Benjamin chose was awesome. The vanilla shake my husband picked was very good. The mango banana fruit shake I got was okay. The kids loved it, but I probably wouldn't order it again. Why is it that I always like what everyone else orders? The milkshakes are made with organic low-fat ice cream. I swear I could not tell the difference.
