This new "Field Kitchen" concept is designed to nickel & dime customers and it absolutely succeeds in doing one thing: loosing repeat customers.
Basically, the new model is not the fixed-price buffet that has existed in the past. Instead, you now get a card which you swipe when you purchase separate items.
I have been a loyal Sweet Tomatoes (aka. Souplantation in So. Cal) customer since the mid-80's and I want nothing to do with this new concept. It's obvious that they didn't take care in completing a customer consensus before switching to this model as other reviews echo my own sentiments and observations.
I will miss my Sweet Tomatoes though and I hope & pray that they will revert to the beauty that was.
