Is there any dumber"high end" side, than a wedge salad?

A good bleu cheese wedge is fantastic. Luckily I’ve never been to a place that charged $15 for one.

I love’em too. For me, the premium price isn’t the slice of the lettuce - but the quality of the toppings - imparticularly the dressing.

I will pay a premium for such.... and typically ask the waiter as I order, which is made in-house. A lot of times, they are even honest! Ha

A wedge salad is served by someone too cheap and lazy to make a real salad.

I’m with OP. Wedge salad is for dickheads.

I thought of this when talkin steakhouses and I found that most loved particular wedge salads. But it's a quarter head of lettuce with some dressing and toppings.
Idk. If I am paying for a salad I want it tossed.

I think Acropolis in Metairie makes the perfect meal salads. (don't want to talk too good about the place or the 5 course $19 dinner as it's packed enough) I gladly pay $9-13 or more for that. It's just when it's a piece of iceberg (you know the cheapest most common lettuce) (IS romaine edible yet?) with usually some premade dressing it's not a salad, and it's not good.

Long Lidge the Wedge Salad, America's Silliest salad.



actually looks good



So in reading on this in trying to defend my stance I actually found that the price is due to the cost of higher end blue cheeses. I like a good bleu, so maybe I am missing something.

Though I'd rather a good bleu on a Cobb salad.

While I agree the pricing is absurd bordering on criminal, I love a cold wedge with blue cheese. Simply, and quite refreshing. But yes, it is insanely overpriced.

Salads in general are overpriced.

But, most food is much cheaper if cooked at home.

I think since the person eating has to do "all the work" to cut up the salad, that it makes it seem like a bad deal.

That looks like a pile of dogs vomit with an onion ring on top.
