National healthy restaurant to make Florida debut in Lakewood Ranch

A new restaurant featuring healthy dishes will make its Florida debut when it opens in Lakewood Ranch this spring. Flower Child is coming in May to Center Point at Waterside on University Parkway.

On the menu are bowls, wraps and salads, as well as mix-and-match vegetables, grains, fruits and proteins. 

The fast-casual eatery is a creation of Sam Fox, a restaurateur based in Arizona who has been nominated 11 times for the James Beard Award, according to a statement.
