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.

Yeah. No way in hell am I going to pay 9$ for a stupid pile of iceberg lettuce on a non-edible plate. Jerks. And I worked at Perkins for years. I loved Perkins. I WAS Perkins. But now, I have no Perkins.
ReplyDeleteJust like Arby's. These guys are getting a little carried away...it started with a 5 for $5 deal...now it's 5 for $6.95. Perkins used to be good restaurant food for cheap and Arby's used to be good fast food for fast food prices. Now Arby's is good fast food for Perkin's prices. And Perkins thinks they're Applebee's or something. They're no Applebee's.
ReplyDeleteApplebee's is no Applebee's
ReplyDeleteThe bread bowl salads were about my only reason for going there; I think most of their menu leaves a lot to be desired. Thanks for the warning that they're no longer on the menu.
ReplyDeleteI have also grown tired of Perkins. I used to be able to eat there for $7 plus tip. Now It is like $11 plus tip and their food isn't that great.
ReplyDeleteI have now moved on to Olive Garden and the never-ending salad ($5.35) and breadsticks.
I agree, I don't think I am going to eat at Perkin's anymore unless I have to do for some reason, until they bring back the bread bowl. What's next, will they get rid of coffee?
ReplyDeleteI remember the days when they not only had bread bowl salads, but a SEAFOOD bread bowl salad. And it was amazing.
ReplyDeleteThey raised my ire when they struck that from the menu, and then also making the bread bowls smaller (yet, curiously, not cheaper). Then their ham and cheese omelets - once the length of your plate - started to slowly shrink to the size of a deck of cards.
Lame, Perkins. Lame card once, twice, and three times...it's a straight up lame card crowd over in Perkins Land.
Woah! I'm really enjoying the template/theme of this blog. It's simple, yet effective.
