| - I really like sauce. Ordinarily I get the sausage and carmelized onion pizza and it is really delicious. The crust is slightly unconventional, more like a cracker than pizza dough, and very thin, but I consider that an acceptable nuance of their place.
My wife always gets the wild mushroom and truffled arugula pizza and although you know my perspective on arugula (tastes like fart) she insists it is the cornerstone of her very existence (in her words: "it's really good." she understates).
However today I went against all that is good and right with the world and ordered a salad. Turkey, avocado, and feta salad. The feta was decent, the avocado was delightful, the turkey was lunch meat turkey cubes. not a compliment. The dressing was light and i definitely felt like i was doing something good for my body.
My body was surprised.
Anyway, the salad was a 3 out of five. Decent, not wonderful. So the waitress came and said that if I liked that dressing, they have a secret salad with the same dressing and all sorts of italian cold meats in it. Sounds amazing!
So I asked her what gives with the secret salad. Well it is an idea on the part of some of the higher ups to encourage ppl to return to the place and order the salad. I say, just put your best shit on the menu, otherwise I won't come back.
So I was intrigued. But do I like being engaged in a cunning ruse to make me return? no!
So I browbeat the poor hapless waitress for a few minutes about whose idea it was and so on, and then told her I'd never return to sauce so long as i live.
But I will, because that salad sounds tasty as hell. Plus, with their salads they serve a nice little bread roll which is pretty wonderful. Also they serve wine and beer and who doesn't like that?
