_uck _ou Perkins

Perkins bread bowl salads were awesome. You get a giant salad, and when you're done, you get a whole bunch of bread. As the price of a bread bowl salad steadily climbed, I still loved them. I welcomed the switch to the new bread bowl--it was really good.

When I became a vegetarian, it became increasingly obvious that any salad I would order at a restaurant I could just as easily make at home for much cheaper. Still, I was lured to the Perkins bread bowl salad. It was a giant filling salad with an excellent bread bowl, and for a vegetarian, it was one of the best restaurant meals you can get.

But today I went to Perkins to find a new menu. The new menu revealed that Perkins had the same salad options, but they were no longer bread bowls. Now Perkins just had salads.

Who do you think you are, Perkins? Do you really think you're the sort of restaurant that can have a $9 salad? Because you're not. Without the bread bowl, I don't need you, and I'm not going to pay for your overpriced salad. Sometimes the waiter will lower the price when I get a salad without the meat, but sometimes not. But do you really think I'm going to come to your restaurant to pay anywhere near $9 for a salad of vegetables and cheese, when I could create such a salad in my home for, what, under $3?

Nope, Perkins, I'm done. I'm not coming back until you bring back the bread bowl salad. You've slowly raised the price to the point your restaurant is no longer even a good deal, and now you've just wiped out a massively good option for vegetarians. And I'm not going to be checking around to see if you bring the bread bowl back. No, you go ahead and tell me. I don't care. Baker's Square has a better apple pie anyway.

_uck _ou, Perkins. You suck.
