Woohoo, unlimited toppings!
It's like a goddamn TCBY. Sorry, I was just checking out the lovely
photo to the left and the guy who seems really drawn to the plastic
signage announcing this miracle of saladeriffic innovation. There
would have to be some sort of gimmick to draw people into
this place, as it just looks (and acts) like every other shop in the
lunch smorgasbord, Midtown restaurant genre. These places exist just
to satiate the in-a-hurry corporate worker who eats at his computer
with his tie thrown over his shoulder. While I most definitely don't
wear a tie, I am always in a hurry and almost always eat with my face
bathed in the pixilated glory of my Mac desktop. I only chose this
joint amongst the sandwich place glut because I was sooo sick of the
other three or four places that I normally haunt that I would have
eaten out of the trash can behind Whole Foods before I would have
gone back to any of them. So I walked into the first restaurant I
came across that I had never been to--and it turned out to be exactly
the same as the other places. So I got a Mexican panini that I hadn't
seen at my norms, and despite its weird, Chalupa-ish quality, it wasn't
totally unenjoyable. Now that I've been there, done that, I can go
back to my usuals and put my taste buds back on cruise control. [MF]
