| - There's a "NY resolution" sale, i.e. healthy food, on Ritual right now (January 2018), so I decided that rather than wasting precious studying time buying groceries and cooking stuff that my partner and I don't enjoy eating anyway, why not just order takeout from Farmr, which is just down the street. Last time I tried their weekend brunch and found the prices and portions very reasonable, and the flavors and nutritional value to my satisfaction. Dinner tonight was again 5/5 - the portion sizes were much bigger than I expected for takeout and I was genuinely surprised because previous Yelp reviews reflected the opposite! I ordered the Classic (usually $12.99, but Ritual discount right now!) and the small Farmr platter ($10.99).
My favorite side was the roasted cauliflower with pear and almonds (vegan)! It's actually served cold and the slightly crispy cauliflower plus vinaigrette and sweet notes from the pear work so well together! The seasonal veggie slaw btw probably contains dairy in the dressing I'm sure, since it's so creamy. The vegetarian lentil chickpea protein patties were hearty, but flavor-wise very bland and they were so dry... Disappointing. The beets/feta/pumpkin seed salad was faultless and has a wonderful slightly creamy, melt-y overall texture from the cheese. The smashed potatoes also looked pretty appetizing and well seasoned (I didn't try though - sometimes I judge a dish by the cover).
Farm'r, you may have become my new I'm-too-lazy/busy-to-cook solution!
