Best Blue Zone (health) menu: The Spot

The Blue Zones – places where people live the longest and stay in the best health – have been studied for years, and menus that incorporate these healthy concepts are springing up in our neighborhood thanks to BCHD’s Vitality City initiative. These ideas may be new elsewhere but at The Spot they’ve been refined since 1981. Owner Tonya Beaudet incorporates ideas about good eating from all over the world and seasonal organic ingredients from close to home, creating a balance that’s unbeatable.
