Chop't Salads

When I was a little temp wearing corporate drag and looking for a place to quickly buy my lunch so I could run back to my desk and get paid for eating it, Chop't was often my closest lunch option. Despite their slogan of being designers of a "creative salad," Chop't's concept is a great idea that requires zero creativity and one piece of extra equiptment (a half-moon blade with two handles that is used, once you've picked out your salad ingredients, to chop everything up into neat little bits that fit snugly onto your plastic fork). Who wants to try to stuff a WHOLE LEAF of lettuce into your mouth, am I right, guys?? Well, with such a clever concept in place, it's a shame that these salads suck. They just taste like a big goopy blah -- even the leaves taste bad. Plus, I got a salad with a few simple ingredients and no meat whatsoever and it was like nine bucks and change. Whaaat? If I want my gross salad chopped that badly, I will keep a butterknife in my top left desk drawer and chop a less-expensive, better-tasting salad, and bypass the snooty staff who seem to think they're working at Tiffany rather than at some place where they're chopping up cucumbers covered in French dressing.
