Review update time:
I tried the Pastrami and Swiss today. While it was very good, the Reuben is definitely better.
The homemade chips were great.
While I've enjoyed most of Sal's soups(Cream soups like mushroom/celery/brocolli(?) plus their tomato soup are great) -- THEY'VE GOT TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THAT CHICKEN NOODLE. It sucks!
I've had it twice -- separated by six months or more. There's just no saving it. It doesn't taste of chicken, it doesn't taste of noodle, it's just so bland. I thought initially it was just the salt level --- but that's not it. The only thing that comes to mind is diluted vegetable onion broth. Taking one spoonful makes me want to throw the $5.00 bowl of it in the garbage. But I didn't do that, I carefully took bite after bite trying to identify how this could be fixed. I just don't know.
Sal: Find a new recipe for the chicken noodle soup. This one sucks!
Go to Sal's, but just don't order the chicken noodle, you've been warned! :)
