    Mad Greens

    It doesn't appear to be a national chain yet, but they do have restaurants in Arizona, Colorado and Texas.

    I was out the other day and for some reason craving a salad. Covid seems to have put all the salad-based buffet places, like Sweet Tomatoes, out of business, so I wasn't sure where I was going to go. The wife and I seldom buy salad fixings at the grocery because half of them would always end up going bad before they could be used.

    I drove by a place called Mad Greens, and I wasn't really even sure it was a restaurant, but I took a chance and went in. I was very impressed, and the salad they made for me was wonderful. A quite large bowl runs $10-$11. The wife and I stopped there for lunch today, at my suggestion, and she agreed that it was top notch.

    I noticed some of the local groceries have dumped the Salad Bar for pre-made kits. And if you don't plan to eat those soon it is not a good idea.

    I won't buy the pre-made salads at the grocery. I've read too many stories about those things being contaminated and having to be recalled.

    I don't eat a lot of greens, being more of a wolf than a rabbit I tend to avoid them

    Looks great. I doubt there will be one near me unfortunately, since it looks like the lard content is probably low.

    We have Fresh Greens here, which seems similar, but not as expensive as what Wolf mentions above.

    We eat a lot of salads. Salads out have gone way up.

    I make my own. I eat a salad most nights if not every night.
