Skipping the skimping: At Field of Green’s (2320 West Alabama, 713-533-0029), they don’t skimp on quality. Take the salmon burger ($8.50). Some might use a plain old bun, but not Field of Green’s. The sandwich comes on an organic, whole wheat, vegan bun made by Ezekiel Bakery. As for the salmon, some might use canned salmon, but not Field of Green’s. You get a good-size piece of wild salmon, dipped in flour and grilled until a crispy coating has formed on the outside. You also get all the standard fixings, plus, in keeping with the eclectic feel of the restaurant, alfalfa sprouts.
