" The moment I had my first bite of this Caesar salad , I knew the others simply could n’t compete . "
Whenever I go out to eat with the girlies, I’m instantly hit with a nonnegotiable craving for a Caesar salad the moment I scooch into the booth. I always peruse the other “non-premium” side options while knowing deep in my heart of hearts that I’ll be ordering myself a cute little side salad. They can upcharge me all they want and I won’t mind because as far as I’m concerned, crunchy romaine tossed in zesty dressing and sprinkled with fresh parmesan is the height of luxury when you’re out on a Tuesday night.
I decided it was my life’s mission to uncover which restaurants are running the Caesar salad game and which ones are chillin' on the bench.
To accomplish this , I set off on a imposing quest and pretend to six common chain eatery specifically to try one from each of them .
Here are the restaurants mentioned in this place , and the toll for each :
Red Lobster : $ 2.49 to add a side salad
Applebee’s:$3.49 to add a side salad
Carrabba’s : All entrees come with a choice of side salad or soup mechanically
Texas Roadhouse , Outback Steakhouse , Longhorn Steakhouse : No upcharge
After my journey, I’m confident that I’ve figured out which restaurants have a fresh Caesar side salad that serves up the crunch and flavor we’re looking for, which ones have some tasty elements but miss the mark on other toppings, and which ones are just wet lettuce with runny dressing haphazardly spurted on top.
6.Outback Steakhouse: one crouton to rule them all.
The real culprit was the cheese. Hatefully shredded bits of flavorless white.
5.Applebee’s — yep, that’s a salad 🤷🏻♀️.
However, I did find a powdery element in the mix where I was definitely not looking for it — the croutons.
4.Longhorn Steakhouse: Caesar? I hardly know her.
Although the cheese and croutons were tasty, they weren’t good enough to cancel out the fact that this salad only had but a whisper of dressing. I’m talking a mere droplet of dressing — and it absolutely did not stand a chance against these gargantuan lettuce leaves.
3.Texas Roadhouse — well, howdy! 🤠
2.Red Lobster — the big salad.
1.🏆 Carrabba’s — the shining star of the Caesars.
Thanks for going on this salad quest with me! I took this way too seriously and I don’t regret it. Somehow, even after six of these, I’m still going to order a Caesar salad the next time I’m out to eat.
