CAVA, a new Mediterranean grill, recently opened its doors in Ashburn. Ever since, it has become a hotspot for those who crave healthy, delicious food. This new trend may be scary to those who don’t try new things, but Junior Megan Goyer ensures that CAVA is worth the risk.

 “I don’t try new food, ever,” said Goyer. This timid eater has been enjoying the same foods her entire life, and reports that she rarely steps out of her comfort zone when it comes to what she eats. “I’m a plain pasta type of person.”

 “I always get really nervous going anywhere new or eating new food or anything because I feel like I’m not going to like it… it scares me to spend money on something if you don’t know whether you’re going to like it or not,” said Goyer.

 After eating, Goyer was surprised at how much she enjoyed the food. “It was extremely different from what I usually eat, but it was really good,” said Goyer.

 She did not expect to like this new type of food, and was hesitant at first to try it. “…normally when I hear ‘Mediterranean’, I’m like ‘that’s way too fancy for me,’” said Goyer.

 “I really liked CAVA… I think I’ll be a little more open to trying new foods now,” said Goyer.

 CAVA prides itself in its uniqueness. It has an all-organic theme that most restaurants can’t compete against. The forks are made from plant starch, everything is gluten free, they provide nutrition information, and all of their meat comes from special farms that treat their animals well. Everything about them screams ‘we’re conscious about health and nutrition!’ This has become a very popular concern; health and nutrition is very important to people nowadays. It’s important that a restaurant making the effort to help people eat healthy.

 The fact that they’re providing this information is good for people like Megan – it can make picky eaters feel more comfortable with what they’re eating. “I love that they provide nutrition information because that’s so important for people who are gluten free or dairy free or vegetarian…” said Goyer.
 CAVA is unique, so for people like Goyer, it can be a new experience. With its refreshing and new Mediterranean-style grill, CAVA is becoming increasingly popular among all types of eaters – even the picky ones. “I would love to come back,” said Goyer.
