Dear consultants: please stop “suggesting” (read: coercing) team lunches at salad places. We are not rabbits. Some of us like to eat. Thx.

As someone who rages on the weekends with too much food and booze, salads during the week are the only way for me to stay alive. Please don’t judge me and get a wrap at the salad place instead.

I would feel worse as a veggie being forced to go to a steakhouse. At least these dedicated salad bars have options where you can meat it up. And a lot of these salads are quite tasty 😋

As an immigrant America options are really scarce. It’s either bird / rabbit food or greasy, fat, heavy food.

likefunnyhelpful

Immigrant here (Indian) and have no trouble finding amazing food in every city I have lived in so far. I am a foodie though and enjoy a vast variety of cuisines. The complains about the food being too rich or greasy are hilarious coz outside food (vs home cooked) is always richer (and relatively unhealthy). At least that’s been my experience in India and US.

I have a lot of friends who constantly complain about not having enough options and when I ask them if they have tried non Indian cousins the answer is mostly no. Thai? No. Korean BBQ? No. Authentic Mexican? No. Vietnamese? No. Japanese? No. Hibachi No. I can go on and on.

What have they tried, umm Indian, “it didn’t feel like home” sure. You have like a dozen different cuisines in most cities. If you choose to stick to one and hate it, it’s on you.

As a vegetarian I‘m more disappointed about steakhouses that don‘t have a single vegetarian dish on the menu. No problem with steakhouses that have a few options
