Atlanta desperately needs more healthy fast-casual restaurants, according to Shannon Salter Sliger. Later this summer Sliger, who founded Dtox juice company, will take matters into her own hands: She’s opening a 40-seat Buckhead cafe called Sama, which is Sanskrit for “balance.” It will offer Ayurveda-inspired grain and vegetable dishes called “Balance Bowls” as well as customizable options.
