This Atlanta spot offers healthy eating around the clock

Health-conscious restaurants can be found all over the city in 2020, and vegetarian and vegan dishes are common. But, in decades past, a restaurant focused mainly on vegetables was a radical idea; maybe that’s why R. Thomas Deluxe Grill was able to find success with a vegetable-forward menu. The free-spirited restaurant on Peachtree Street is nothing if not a little radical.

The large and varied menu at R. Thomas has plenty of options to help you keep any health-related resolutions, but one excellent choice is the Thai Express Bowl. Savory and well-rounded, the grain bowl has a base of quinoa, described as the super grain of the future. A perfect choice for a new decade.

Atop the quinoa is a colorful selection of lightly sauteed vegetables: broccoli, red cabbage, scallions and red onions. Adding chicken gives the dish a little more heft, but it works wonderfully without any meat. And, while it might seem a bit pricey at $17.75, the Thai bowl almost could serve two.
