• No Thanks For Now

I stepped into Green Earth to try their veggie burger. They've got a number of veggie burgers, actually, but only one named 'veggie burger'. It's terrible. The buns were cheap things that weren't up to the task. The task? Okay, They didn't have much of a chance to contain the slop that they poured onto them. The mushrooms in sauce - something meant to go into another dish perhaps? - placed 'under' a thick slice of hard, crappy supermarket tomato meant that I had no chance of actually eating this thing like a burger. While the mushrooms tasted good, The overall appeal of this combination was zero. And the side salad on the plate could have used a drizzle of ANYTHING. I am not a rabbit. I don't blame the server who was nice and who asked how things were. She also thoughtfully said she'd point out to the chef or cook what I had to say. The restaurant eating area is nice. It's bright and clean. One wall is all mirror though. Some folks are okay with that. I don't like mirrors, at least not big ones that distort the size and shape of the room and which some designers see as a nice touch. $7 for what I got was too much money. Otherwise, Give me a good veggie burger and an edible side salad for $7 and I'll be happy. I don't want my food for free. I really wonder how they could something so simple so wrong. Any kind of burger 'has' to have a paddy of some sort. If it's the sort of abomination I had, it's a sloppy joe sort of item, except for the obscene tomato slice. It wasn't just a slice. It was 3x the thickness you'd reasonably expect. And hard as hell. Biting down on that meant that there was no chance I wasn't going to make a mess. I had to resort to using my fork and knife, which is okay. But why?
