I haven't been there for a while. I was curious to check it out today, and only a blank screen comes up.
It's the usual scam to extract cash from the rubes.
The current Griftathon began April 1 and is still continuing. The next one starts on Sunday, so they're trying to extort enough to avoid the embarrassment of non-stop begging for a site that hasn't improved in a decade, after millions of dollars raised.
Well, they do make good salad. Not much to compliment them on after that.
Yes, the salad is simple, cheap and good - it's all in the dressing. The rest as I recall is chopped iceberg, julienned carrots, red onions, black olives, pepperoncini, croutons and a sprinkling of coarse-grated cheap "parmesan" cheese. Nothing exotic or special, but I admit it's pretty addictive and their long-ago menu designer did a good job with it.
The nearest is about 40 miles from me and I haven't been in years, but as I recall their basic stuff is edible and was fairly priced - when they try to go "fancy Italian" is when they run off the rails into sludgy muck.
