Amanda's Feel Good Fresh Food, 'Green' Fast Food in Berkeley
"The greening of American fast food starts here," says Anneli Rufus in her East Bay Express feature on Amanda's Feel Good Fresh Food, an environmentally and health conscious fast food eatery. Unlike other fast food places, the two-month old restaurant started by Amanda West in Berkeley, California, uses hormone-and-antibiotic-free meat and doesn't use trans fat or corn syrup. West describes her nutritionally-balanced offerings as "Whole Foods meets In-N-Out Burger."
Rufus says that the burgers "powerfully invoke the roadside-grill burgers of an earlier, earthier, pre-Whopper America" and despite the high quality ingredients, the prices remain reasonable—"$4.50 tops, as little as $6.75 with soda and fries." The only downside may be that the french fries are baked instead of deep-fried.
