redemption song for flavors. I’m quite positive that the folks at flavors have read this grievance! I just got back from flavors and the salad was huge! not just mine but everyone around me as well. i think they’ve stepped up a notch because the salads taste great but now they are at a size worth its semi overpriced tag!

FYI- I work in the Fox building upstairs from Flavors and have been there a few times. I have had the salad (though did not chop it) and it was quite full. Now, according to the laws of physics, if you take something and break it down in volume it appears as such without hampering the actual weight.
In this case, you chop lettuce and it’s finer and less bulky decreasing in volume size creating an image of less salad in the bowl. If you measure the salad by weight it is the same. So…You are merely getting what you paid for. A chopped salad.

Yeah, I tried Flavors the other day for the first time and I second the salad complaint. Mine was half full (or half empty) and didn’t come with any bread/crackers a la Hale and Hearty. This place sucks big time (just like the Fox news building).

The item should read A.K.A. Seasoned fries and bring them forthwith.

He has fans, he has small portable fans the kind that stand on the floor and spin like most obese people have. Even in the winter.

Goats, you are correct that this is Zach’s blog, not mine. But you are sorely mistaken about the intended purpose of this blog, as stated by Zach, not me.

Some choice excerpts from About ML:

“To me, lunch hour is sacred- and I’m not going to waste it in some generic Midtown deli.”

“This site will hopefully be a place for you to find the gems in a sea of duds (and there are alot of those).”

“I’m a big fan of ethnic food (did I mention my love of Chinese buffets?), and not such a big fan of the salad by the pound places… so if you are looking for a new salad place that gives you 7 options instead of 6, you will probably not find it here (unless it’s a salad bar/Chinese buffet place).”

I would like to think that I’m part of the core audience for this blog, but judging by the other comments here, I must not be.

Team-

Please disregard the last post by DocChuck. I think we all know that with his 3 Phds from barely accredited universities that he must, at least, be able to write with proper grammar.

“You all know how persecuted a person such as myself can become…”

The real DocChuck must know that myself is a reflexive pronoun that should only be used after I in a sentence.

obviously youre going to overpay for a salad in a place like that. if you want a salad in the city i think the best deals are always going to be at random generic delis. that being said, i think the pic showing only half a salad is what happens when you put dressing on a salad. it shrinks up a bit.

This is why all of my lunch salads have a very large chunk of something that used to be alive atop them. Those you pick it , we toss it’s are for tossers..
