Let this be a lesson to those who perform their own dental work just to save a buck. My dearest TenOunceBourbon:

Perhaps half a block out of Midtown Range, and a few hrs after "lunch" has ended, but they will basically unload their remaining salad bar and stuff it in your bowl until it barely closes! I got at least 2 scoops of everything last night! I cheered! I am still cheering! For 7.55, it was almost a fair price....! Tonight, it is back to Omaha gourmet hot dogs and burgers....And for lunch, my Murray's Salami leftovers...! Salad once a week max!

Are New Yorkers now too busy to chew? Seeing those pre-chewed salads steeping in oil and vinegar in the bottom of their plastic containers really grosses me out, and vexes me. One of the only redeeming values of eating salad -- and I'm hesitant to admit any -- is the contrast of textures and the challenge of trying to discreetly stuff an entire romaine leaf into your mouth in a public setting. Take this away and all that's left is the sadness. Someone please explain to me the need or desire to have a salad chopped into pesto. Are New Yorkers now too busy to chew?

The restaurants should account for the loss in volume by adding a few more swigs of lettuce. It's just lettuce.
