| - As far as I'm concerned, there is no salad more perfect than a Caesar salad, and I'm always up for seeing how different restaurants interpret this classic. On a whim one lunch hour, I decided to see how Come And Get It stacked up against other salads I have tasted.
Let's start with a warning: this isn't your grandmother's Caesar salad. The proportions are monstrous, and even for a salad, it's quite filling. In addition to the mounds of fresh, leafy romaine lettuce you'll find soft pulled chicken, crispy chickpeas, granny apple slaw, and to top it all off (in a move of sheer genius), a large piece of crispy chicken skin. Yum.
The flavours, while intimidating at first, work so well together. The chicken is soft and unbelievably flavourful, and the crispy chickpeas work perfectly with the garlic aioli. The chicken skin was the true star, however, and although a bit greasy for a salad, was a totally welcome surprise.
It's a bit pricey - you'll pay $9+tax for a salad, but it's well worth it for an unusual and creative lunch.
