Light Lunch

Hunting & Gathering

Station 400 knows how to do lunch, and its expertise shines through in the simple chicken salad scoop plated amidst fruit and crackers. The chicken is tender and juicy, not saturated in mayo but stays moist and the heaping scoop provides just enough protein to get you through until dinner, not to mention the dollop of sweet mango chutney ripe for mixing in with the succulent chicken. The fruit selection always comes out fresh, with a medley of blueberries, strawberries, melons of many colors, blackberries and pineapple. And the crackers aren't mere chips, pita or saltine, but rather a long crunch full of seeds, a dash of salt and hearty cracked whole grain. Insider tip: order the sweet potato fries to offset your healthy entree.

Station 400, 400 North Lemon Ave., Sarasota, 941-906-1400.
