| - Long ago, I worked at Harper's for a spring and summer after college. Now every time I go, the smell of the place takes me back (something between wood-fired kitchen and just... kitchen).
This is another relatively safe place I can go with my parents. Though their veggie options are scant, their veggie burger is made in-house, I can get their six cheese penne without bacon, and I've always enjoyed their pimento cheese dip.
Unfortunately, I found little to eat for lunch yesterday. I was looking for something light, and save ordering a salad (sans meat, of course), there wasn't much else on the menu that appealed to me. I do love a good bowl of soup, but Harper's rarely has a veggie soup on tap, and yesterday was no different. I ordered the spinach quesadilla, hoping it would be more spinachy than cheesy and thinking it's hard to eff up a quesadilla. Right?
WHAT a disappointment. The quesadilla was a total mess, stuffed to the brim with a slurpy cheese mixture. The filling was incredibly uneven - one triangle had cheese with just a hint of spinach, another was filled entirely with the spinach mixture (which I am 99% sure is just their spinach dip repurposed), and another had a surprising number of cold, mealy tomato cubes.
Per the usual, my dad ordered a small cup of soup, and the server barely hid her disdain at our tiny order. The sneer was palpable.
I think I'm done with Harper's for a while.
