Public Greens (Indianapolis, IN): When you walk into Martha Hoover’s Public Greens, there’s a sign by the front door with the outline of the state of Indiana and this slogan: “Real food belongs in all zip codes.” Public Greens matters not just because it sells farm-fresh goodness at affordable prices (imagine if Blue Hill at Stone Barns opened a laid-back cafeteria), but because its profits are devoted to feeding hungry schoolkids around the state. Hoover puts the heart back in heartland– @esquire & @thegordinier

Let’s be honest – we can’t afford to lose any restaurants, but nonetheless we are beyond thankful for this recognition and shoutout . 💚
