I've seen it. It's real. And it's scary.

What is wrong with this place?



Would it kill someone to learn how to make a proper caesar salad in this town? I mean, what the fuck? I can't understand why some establishments in the area offer what they call a Caesar Salad and and then have the nerve to serve me iceberg lettuce with tomatoes and bottled caesar dressing. That's it. Iceberg lettuce, tomatoes and bottled dressing.

Get a clue before you try to elevate your shit-hole restaurant into something "special" for the locals. These are the same people that think good lobster comes from anywhere that is all you can eat for $9.99. Tonight's idiots are in located in the lovely burb of East Rochester. You know who you are. At what point did they decide that we, the consumers, wouldn't notice their utter lack of culinary prowess. Forget the chance of a table side preparation with any flair.

And if you've never been to Philly what gives you the right, yes, you heard me, the right to try to sell me a cheesesteak. This is as straight up Western New York as you can get.

"Do you want a pop with your salad?" Sure, and side order of go fuck yourself.

Montreal has the best Caesar salad, ever. It was at The Governor's Hotel and I had it last year with a linen tablecloth overlooking the city from like the 9th floor, silver domed service. Most excellent. And, another thing Americans, a salad is not an appetizer, it is the palate cleanser at the end of a meal.

CAESAR SALAD
Freshly Chopped Romaine Lettuce
Chopped Tomatoes
Sliced Red Onion
Croutons – Seasoned (optional & preferable home made)
Fresh Ground Black Pepper
Grated Cheese and Shredded Cheese – ample amounts
Anchovies – optional
Fresh Creamy (non diluted, thick) Caesar Dressing

This is how we make it at home and when we order it out we expect nothing less or it gets sent back to the kitchen, period! That is my policy, my standard, and my opinion.
I don’t blame you one bit for being upset; I certainly would be too.

Amazing that they could have the nerve to even try to pass it off as Caesar – it sounds to me that it was nothing more than a glorified house salad.

Please tell me it was not the Northside Inn. Please, Ghost – say it isn’t so!

It isn't the Northside. And definately make it creamy with real egg yolks. A little salmonella never hurts. It's just yummy. Ask Peter Pan.

Try it with shaved parmesan instead of grated or a combo of both.

In L.A. they have this restaurant chain called California Pizza Kitchen (also one in Boston) and they have the best salad called "Southwestern BBQ Chicken Salad" with jicama, grilled corn, lime, cilantro, tomatoes, black beans, fresh shredded crispy tortilla strips, black beans, lettuce and grilled chicken, topped with BBQ sauce and creamy ranch dressing. Amazing!

Mr. Lentless,

As we have not been properly introduced I will take your words as an insult. I am a servant of the Divine. I aspire to be an enlightened creature on this Earth and beyond. Your references to assplay are not appropriate or welcomed in this forum. And the use of profanity is in poor taste and shows your lack of polish and devotion to His name.

Fuck you.
