Seriously? I'm not eating here anymore.

A favorite restaurant of mine used to be Crispers. I was in love with their Oriental Chicken salad. It was to die for. It was a huge bed of lettuce topped with chicken, candied walnuts, pineapple, crispy noodle things. You ate it with a scrumptious honey lime dressing. This is only one of three things I would eat at Crispers. The other two are the broccoli cheese soup or the steak and blue cheese flatbread. By far the salad was my favorite.

On Saturday after shopping, Tina and I went to lunch. I chose Crispers. She grabbed a menu when she walked in and I didn't need to look at a menu because I always order the same thing. I have it memorized. I get up to the counter and state my order only to hear back, "we don't have that salad anymore." Excuse me...what did you just say? You don't have my favorite salad anymore?

I seriously told the lady I don't think I can eat here anymore. She tried to suggest some other "really" great salads and I wasn't having it. I didn't even listen. I ordered my fall back meal of soup and flatbread and wasn't very happy.

She then mentions that they are out of crackers and if we really wanted something to put in our soup we could BUY some of their bread. When half of your menu consists of soup and salad, how can you run out of crackers? That was strike two.

Then it was time to get a drink. I won't bring up the fact that they switched to plastic cups instead of paper, which could be taken home with refills. I have already gotten over that point. After getting my plastic cup I turn the corner to see that the soda machine is now Pepsi. I can drink diet Pepsi but I prefer coke. Strike three.

I will not eat at this dining establishment for a very long time. I just can't forgive them for getting rid of my favorite salad in the world, without evening telling me.
