Tuesdays with Salad: The 1,000 Calorie Salad

Tuesdays with Salad: The 1,000 Calorie Salad

In high school, my friend Kyle and I had some pretty great ideas. And not all of them were self-insert fan fiction! One particular idea was “It’s Only Salad,” a salad restaurant wherein regular American cuisine was served on top of salad. That way, if you order the lasagna salad followed by a hot fudge salad, you can just wave off the meal with a simple, “Well, whatever. It’s only salad!” Sometimes, every fast food salad … Read entire article »

Tuesdays with Salad: Wendy’s Baja Salad

Tuesdays with Salad: Wendy’s Baja Salad

Fair warning, foodies — the photos you’re about to see in this post are of a graphic nature. I will be the first to admit to the Baja Salad’s grotesque appearance — even from its best angle, it basically looks like someone took an ate-too-much-corn dump onto a bed of greens. I can only imagine the methodology of the fecal-minded food scientist that dreamed up this salad in the test kitchen. FOOD SCIENTIST #1: “Wendy’s has so … Read entire article »

Some may say gluttony is the deadly sin best applied to food-related sins, but well … then I heard of the BLT Cobb salad at Wendy’s. If any salad inspires sexual thoughts, it’s this one — two nearly-full chicken breasts (ohhh), blue cheese crumbles … Read entire article »

Tuesdays with Salad: Wendy’s Spicy Chicken Caesar

Foodies, when I started this feature, I’m afraid I may have given you the impression that I have never liked salads. Well, I’m here to clear that record — there was, in fact, one point in my life where I ate salads every. day. Not many people know that! Arriving as a bright-eyed, bushy-tailed seventeen-year-old to NYU’s campus, I resolved to shed my high school skin like an overweight, exposed-roots cobra with a fan fiction problem. The … Read entire article »

Tuesdays with Salad: The Bacon Ranch Salad

Tuesdays with Salad: The Bacon Ranch Salad

For fast food aficionados, a deep-seated ire for salad comes with the territory. Anything that hasn’t been fried or flat-grilled we view with suspicion; salad — at least a healthy one — has never so much as glanced at a bead of grease. Shredded carrots, large slimy slices of cucumbers, vinegar dressing that smells like The Stinky Kid from grade school … these are not things that go into our mouths without a fight. Unfortunately, like … Read entire article »
