I went to this (lousy, but who knew?) at the time casual "Italian"
restaurant recently and for the salads they had only two choices of
dressing- ranch and "Italian with blue cheese"
Huh?! First off, what the hell kind of choice is that for an Italian
themed restaurant? Two gaggy dressings and neither particularly Italian
at that! And secondly, when I asked if I could just get the Italian
dressing without the blue cheese the poor young waitress said "no,
because it is already mixed in." Gads. How could they pass off some
crummy institutional packaged dressing like that? I managed to get her
to bring me olive oil and vinegar but geeez..... Obviously I'll NEVER go
back there. I didn't want to go this night either but I was the guest.
Sooooooooo sad.
