SHAKER HEIGHTS, Ohio – Of the many ways to celebrate Earth Day this month, how’s this: Free sandwiches.
North Star Restaurant Group’s Northstar Café and Brassica are set to offer free, vegetarian sandwiches Tuesday, April 22.
The café, known for its casual cuisine and urban ambience, will be serving its signature Northstar Burger, a veggie burger made with organic black beans, brown rice and beets and topped with white cheddar, kale, tomato, pickle, onion and simple salad.
Brassica, the Mediterranean-inspired fast-casual restaurant, will offer its falafel made to order.
The company said in a press release the initiative represents the restaurants’ values – to “share joy and delicious food while making a positive impact on the world.” The sandwiches are billed as vegetarian-focused and environmentally friendly.
