Yes, $30 for "a salad" is a lot of money, but some of you are at this airport spending way more on way less nutritionally dense things. Also, it's one of the only places in Terminal C I can get guaranteed fresh vegan food. So... you do you. I'm gonna do me, and it looks a four pound salad from Chopt (it was the same weight as my rabbit, sooooo that's my point of reference?).
Stopped by here recently during a long layover and built this:
1. Chopt greens blend (kale, romaine, cabbage, spinach, arugula)
2. falafel
3. edamame
4. garbanzo beans
5. hummus
^ do you see all the protein and fiber I just racked up here?
^^ PRO TIP: ask for a big dollop of hummus AFTER your salad is chopt
5. avocado
6. cucumbers, tomatoes, and olives
7. lemon tahini dressing
Seriously, the bowl was enormous.
The highlight, and this is super specific and probably not ever replicable, was the young man who built my bowl. There were three people working, and they were slammed with tired flyers. I'm SO HAPPY I got who I got, because the older woman working was telling the people she was building bowls for that they were out of things (because she didn't want to take the time to go to the backroom to replace ingredients). I asked for avocado in my bowl, and the older woman hissed at the younger man, "we don't have that, don't let people ask for it" and he kinda brushed her off. At the end of my building bowl, he asked me if it looked like anything was missing, I mentioned the avocado, and the lady - loudly this time - said to him, "I SAID NO." He made an annoyed face at her, went into the back room, cut a fresh avocado, and brought it back out for my salad. She said to him, "oh, can I have the other half?" He ignored her, rang me up while simultaneously helping another customer who was abandoned by the third employee (an older man) when he couldn't figure out that she wanted to pay via the app, and was friendly and patient and kind the entire time. Good service isn't dead, is the point. read more
