• My 24 Carrot Meal was More Like 10 Carrots

Maybe I went on an off day, because when I visited 24 Carrots half of my order was altered from what I read on the menu. I wish the raw chef had informed me instead of making substitutions. So if you're a picky eater like me, I suggest you check to be sure that the items you order are available. This is what I had: 1. Raw jalapeno poppers - pieces of bell pepper stuffed with spicy almond "cheese" and dried cranberries atop field greens. Very tasty. I think there were four poppers but unfortunately the almond spread wasn't thick enough to stay in the pepper. As I bit, it dribbled all over my shirt and crotch. Mmmm spicy cheese crotch! Eating on the run is a messy business. 2. Zucchini Noodle salad - spiralized zucchini, veggies, and seed medley atop field greens with choice of tahini or balsamic dressing. Well that zucchini wasn't the only thing spiraling because the meal started to spiral downwards. I didn't see anything resembling a seed medley, and my request for tahini dressing went to no avail. Whatever I got tasted like vinaigrette. Not like. Not happy. So I was left with a beautiful salad of hard veggies that I was no longer interested in eating. 3. Raw Tacos - cabbage cups, walnut meat, avocado, salsa, veggies, cashew cream, and comes with a side. I wasn't given cabbage cups, I was given a couple of flat dehydrated rounds that were used as soft taco shells. They tasted like beans. If you like beans, this will probably be your thing. I DID NOT like it. Also, the walnut meat was a fail for me. From how it tasted, the nuts had been soaked and then mixed with something (not sure what). I would have rather been given plain raw walnuts. And to add insult to injury the avocado slice was badly bruised. The chef should have thrown it out! Not happy with that melange. 4. Bountiful burger - butternut burger, spiced cranberry chutney, kale slaw, choice of bun or bed of greens, and comes with a side. I was really looking forward to this butternut. I assumed it was butternut squash. Well you know what they say happens when you assume. I have no idea what part of the patty was butternut because all I could taste were beans. Again, if you like beans....this is your dish. The flavor was there, but the beans were a no go for me. So this meal left me depressed. I think it would have been wonderful if only I was given the ingredients that I ass u me'd would have been available.
