Sweetgreen Taps Michael Solomonov for its Next Chef Collaboration

Everything Michael Solomonov touches turns to gold, and Sweetgreen is getting in on that action. The salad chain and the chef behind Zahav, Federal Donuts, and the brand-new, all-vegan Goldie are teaming up on a limited-time, Israeli-inspired bowl, available only at Sweetgreen shops in the Philly area, from April 28 through the end of May.

The Zahav Bowl ($9.95) is a mix of hot chickpeas, kale, turmeric-roasted cauliflower, roasted chicken, shredded carrots, almonds, and Sweetgreen’s housemade hot sauce, dubbed “The Heat.” It’s finished with two new-to-Sweetgreen toppings developed with Solomonov: a dill and mint combo and a lemon-dill-tahini dressing.

Solomonov joins an all-star lineup with this collab: Sweetgreen has partnered on menu items with notable chefs from New York, D.C., and Los Angeles, along with hip-hop artist Kendrick Lamar for a Beets Don’t Kale My Vibe bowl (a play on his “Bitch, Don’t Kill My Vibe” — go listen).
