Sweetgreen and Sqirl Join Forces to Create the Hippest Bowl in LA

Sweetgreen, the trendy salad chain that recently relocated its headquarters from D.C. to LA, will offer its second collaboration with an LA-based chef. From October 13 through November 6, the chain with current locations in West 3rd, Hollywood, and Santa Monica will offer a limited edition bowl created in collaboration with Sqirl’s Jessica Koslow.

The warm dish will reflect Koslow’s dedication to locally-grown ingredients and some of her signature flavor profiles, notably the sorrel pesto from Sqirl's signature grain bowl. The result of the partnership is The Sqirl Dinner Bowl, a blend of shredded kale, warm quinoa, avocado, roasted steelhead, tahini-marinated tofu skin noodles, pickled carrots, cucumbers, parsley, dill, basil, sorrel pesto dressing, and a fresh lemon squeeze.

This isn’t the first culinary collaboration for the brand that secured another $35 million in funding last year. In 2015, Sweetgreen partnered with Jon Shook and Vinny Dotolo to create a Za’atar Salad. Outside of LA, collaborations have included David Chang’s naturally fermented hozon dressing and Dan Barber’s "WastED" salad made from food scraps.
