| - OMFG! They can't even make oatmeal. It's 7:20 am and I find myself at Scottsdale Road and the 101. My options for a business breakfast range from Chik-Fil-A (NOT!) to the bangladesh Wendy's. The pickings are very slim. If I venture down Scottsdale Road, I am facing not much more, Village Inn? So I hold my breath, bite my tongue and decide if I get the coffee at Starbucks, I can find something benign to order for breakfast. Oatmeal. How can they mess this up? Everyone is making it now. Burger King, Au Bon Pain, even McDonalds found a way to serve oatmeal. Albeit, the McDonald's oatmeal is milky, and has hard apple bits but it resembles oatmeal more than Paradise bakery's. This was a quinoa salad, I am sure it was. It had no resemblance to oatmeal. It tasted more like a cup of couscous or quinoa with cinnamon and obscene pecans dumped on top. Dear Paradise, chop your pecans. Please. I am sure Juan could chop the pecans right before he chops the lettuce. Next, instead of dumping the can of cinnamon on the oatmeal, how about using candied pecans. The crunch and sweetness of the pecans would be the natural sweetness to the oatmeal. Finally, go buy oatmeal, real oatmeal, not couscous or quinoa. This was the worst oatmeal I have ever had, anywhere! You amaze me as to how bad you get every time I make the mistake of visiting. I almost want to make it a challenge. I might start to frequent you more just so I can see how low you can go. Game on!
