| - Sometimes, you just want a salad.
There are a few places you can grab a salad, including fast food restaurants, but how many offer unlimited salad, soup, pasta, breads, and dessert? Not many. Sweet Tomatoes is a salad buffet, with all the toppings and sides you can think of. It's cheap, it's convenient, and it's not that bad.
I like their soups, especially the Asian Ginger Brother, which tastes like arroz caldo from home. I love their cornbread (with real corn) and blueberry muffins. Those are great points to the place.
Now, for the bad.
The other day I stopped by with my friend to eat lunch, since our breakfast was somewhat greasy. We grabbed a plate, piled it on, and when it came to the red onions, which were just replaced in front of my face, they reeked. Now, don't get me wrong--I know onions have a scent, but imagine that scent times 100. I figured that, since it was just replaced, it was fresh. WRONG.
That evening I contracted a nasty heartburn episode tasting nothing but red onion and I felt nauseous. Apparently when onions smell really strong, they actually fermented. BAD.
If it's not fresh at the salad bar, what's the point?
Not my cup o' soup.
