There is this restaurant here called Doris Metropolitan. It's fucking delicious, when I worked for Where Magazine we went to it for a concierge night and we order this Beetroot - Beets with cheese & walnut filling, pesto, snow peas, labane cream. When they serve it, they cut it open and Oh. My. Fucking. God. I am not a huge beet fan, I would eat that shit every fucking day. It's served on spring greens, so it is salad like. Anyway. Fucking delicious.

My wife makes a salad that is spring mix, craisins, granny smith apple, toasted walnut or pecan pieces, goat cheese, with a champagne vinaigrette. It's really good. We call it the "fall salad".
whats y'alls favorite general type of salad? not like tuna salad or chicken salad but the kind with lettuce.
i think generally speaking a greek salad is hard to beat. has all the good flavors in it. i've had lots of different kinds of greek salads and most of them are great.
I prefer to just make my own. Baby spring mix, tomatoes and avocados are go to, but I can build anything from that foundation - chicken, pecans, carrots, roasted beets or whatever. Also a roasted beet salad (or smoked beets) are always good. I don’t really like feta much but it matches perfectly with beets.
I also prefer to make my own dressings. I use a base vinaigrette which is olive oil, vinegar (anything but white) Dijon mustard salt and pepper. I usually offset it with honey as well but not always. You can add anything to that - lemon juice, garlic, herbs or whatever. Store brands can’t beat homemade. I like mine a little sharper so closer to 2 1/2 : 1 oil to vinegar instead of 3-1.

I remember you saying you didn’t like them when I made some beet juice. Beets kind of rule - just not out of the can.
Cobb salads as a whole are where my eyes are drawn on menus. Or anything with the word chopped. If it's not chopped, I spend five minutes cutting everything up to small pieces before I eat it.
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.
Peruvian today at Doncha in Pensacola. I got the pollo saltado and a giant bowl of the soup which is chicken fettilucini peas potatoes and you add the fresh crunchy shit and herbs. They gave me some kind of Peruvian hot sauce made from rococo peppers which I didn’t know. Delicious and not as vinegary as most hot sauces..

agree cobb salads are great, and also agree salads should be CHOPPED. in fact just last night we got greek salad takeout, we were going to get them from Mellow Mushroom, but wife suggested we try Lost Pizza. lo and behold Lost Pizza actually chops their greek salad. with mellow mushroom salads we usually get home then dump the whole thing and chop it up. so sorry mellow mushroom no more salad orders from you. probably no more pizza orders either Lost Pizza has better pizza as well.

I'm a kale/spinach combo guy; I do a dressing with hoisin and lemon/orange/lime juice and some ginger, sunflower seeds/pecans/nuts for crunch, dried cranberries/apricots/raisins, some goat cheese crumbles and voila.
They are all essential imho. Lettuce tomatoes pickles and onions. Tomatoes would be top 1 assuming American style. If one is going in a different flavor profile direction, could be pickled carrots or daikon or maybe avocado and certainly chili peppers. I took a vegetables class in college and still don’t know what they are specifically. I think onions are tubers of a plant. You’d think the roots weren’t technically vegetables as the stalks or leaves would be. But it’s probably botanical, tomatoes and peppers are a fruit and though cucumbers grow on a vine I think they are fruit as well? Lettuce is vegetative so I guess it’s the one right answer?
Also mushrooms are fungus and not vegetables but an elite accompaniment.
Pickles. I can eat a burger with just mayo, cheese, meat and pickles. I can't eat one with just lettuce, or just tomatoes. But I do love to add the tomato and lettuce.

Onions for sure.
Don't like hot lettuce so its out for me. Tomatoes are fine on a burger, borderline great if it's a garden fresh one, but hothouse ones suck and they sometimes make your bun all slippery.

My first thought was tomato, but I think vieux is right, it’s pickles. My preference overall is pickles and tomato, but if it’s only going to be one, pickles are the way to go.
I agree they would be near the top particularly roasted or fire roasted but raw is fine too. It would be out of tomatoes chili peppers and probably sautéed mushrooms.
I dont have Hulu so I haven’t seen Padma Lakshmi’s episode at Dong Phuong. The paper’s article reminds me I need to eat more Vietnamese which I’ve been slacking on only a couple times a month. But it’s heartening to see someone like her recognize that despite maga hate for the different, we in the moving forward segment of society enhance who we already are and add what new people bring. I feel like the next couple of generations will be as different with foods as I was from my parents ‘ protein/starch/vegetable style era. My kids eat even more ethnic than I do and are right at home with mochi tortas, arepas, Vietnamese iced coffee, naan, Afro-Caribbean, Cuban and most other cultural influences.
New Orleans is the only place in America that has a completely different ethnic food," Lakshmi said, "And yet it's very American."
That’s an incredible statement by her but knowing Houston and other food towns, I’d disagree we are the only ones.

I feel like Houston is a great example of another place having that. But also after Katrina a very large portion of New Orleanians relocated to Houston and that is probably a very small contribution to that. Houston is one of those cities that people from all over the world travel and move to, which expands the culture and the food.

I feel like it's both. Houston is already close enough to here to have creole and cajun influences. And they are as diverse as Toronto. But even other Texas cities like Austin, San Antonio and New Braunfels - as close as they are but as different the influences - have their multiple influences with German-Czech mixes with Asian and random shit. I haven't been to Dallas in forever, but I'm sure it's the same. I was on Mobile so I couldn't link the article's main photo. soul craving shit
