Lunch and Dinner
The Digital Chopped Salad Bar
Believe it or not there's 9,986,548,936 possible combinations!
Why I Re-invented The Salad Bar By R.j. GruntAfter many, many, many, many years of watching your failed attempts at a salad, I've found that some of your concoctions are quite disgusting, and frankly have gotten on my nerves. I mean come on, Broccoli-Cheddar Soup as a dressing? Flicking Garbanzo Beans across the room? Picking up Jell-O with your bare hands? Well now, welcome to my newest creation–the Digital Chopped Salad Bar. I don't know how my chefs did it, but they somehow fit the salad bar into your phone. Alas, the future has arrived. Come on and take a byte.16.95
