I'm also excited for this blog. And actually, I'm kind of shocked that I thought of it. Creativity, not exactly my strong suit. But here we go.
My lunch today was interesting. Do you ever eat at a restaurant and feel like the people preparing the food have never actually eaten the food they’re serving? Today, I was eating with a client. We were at your standard soup and sandwich-type place. In these situations, I generally try to pick something that will be easy to eat in the midst of a conversation. I had both a sandwich and soup today. Sammich was fine. But the salad was served in a miniature bowl and it was heaping over the top.
Overflowing salad? I can deal with that. But an inch-deep layer of croutons on top of giant pieces of lettuce? Come on. One fork full turns into a tennis ball-sized hunk of garden. How do you eat that without getting French dressing all over your face (which I think we can both agree is not a professional look)?
At the end of the day, business was transacted, and I still have a completely white shirt.

You should've taken it up to the counter and been like, "I'm sorry, but your kitchen staff obviously shorted me on salad - I paid for a full salad I expect to GET a full salad! Please have them fill the bowl... I'll wait."
