well chop't me

the last two weekends i've been tempted by the glossy new salad store that opened up in chinatown (and now also in dupont). it's got itself a cutesy name (chop't) and some AWESOME salads.

both times i've gotten the über-tasty santa fe salad (one of the many that they have on hand), but it's also possible to make your own salad.

there are only three problems with this place.

1) it takes FOREVER to get through the long line to place my salad order. this might have something to do with the fact that i've only been there on the weekend and perhaps they have more staff during the week. but seriously, it shouldn't take me 15 minutes to wait in line, order, and receive my food.

hmmm...maybe i'm spoiled.

they do have the option of calling ahead to place your order...which i would recommend (i do the same with potbelly).


2) they keep on not wanting to put avocado in my santa fe salad. i don't know why they keep forgetting this delicious element when it's listed on the menu. but i have to keep reminding them. so make sure you get everything you should.

3) the price. yikes!! it costs about $8.50 for the salad (comes with a roll). i mean it's awesome if you are on a diet, but this can't become a habit.




regardless, i'll probably be there on sunday to get another salad...
