STEPH DEROSA: ONE HEALTHY, FRESH SALAD >>>
Antique Sandwich Company
Tuna Salad
Price: $7.75
Rating: Three out of four croutons
The table of men, obviously retired and out for a friendly lunch, all turned and gawked at my tuna salad at Antique Sandwich Company. “They sure do take care of you here, don’t they?†one of them asked. I happily agreed as I dove into one of the healthiest and freshest salads I’ve conquered in a long time.
Description: A fresh-cut mix of greens including spinach, romaine, and green leaf supported hefty helpings of even more fresh-cut veggies in my Antique Sandwich Company tuna salad. Large slices of tomato, cucumber, mushrooms, and green peppers cradled the aforementioned greenery while cheddar cheese shreds laid beneath a homemade mound of tuna mixed lightly in mayonnaise. Blanketing this natural salad, and completing an extra-ordinarily healthy salad, were two of my all-time favorite toppings: sprouts and sunflower seeds.
Taste: There’s no need to hide any part of this salad in dressing or fancy toppings, it’s all fresh and it’s all delicious, no matter what. A full-balanced meal was right at hand, setting my mid-day munch right on track and leaving me with no guilt whatsoever. No cut veggie was brown or had the appearance of being pre-prepared and sitting around. Everything crunched when it was supposed to, and every flavor had an untainted taste of normalcy.
Conclusion: The Antique Sandwich Company’s tuna salad is exactly what a salad should be: not covered in man-made flavor (otherwise known as dressing), and not wearing a lame coat of croutons. And the fact that they sliced the stuff right in front of me just proved how high the standards of natural eating are there at this historical Ruston area restaurant. And all for only $7.75. This is a no-brainer â€" I love this place.
Dressing on the side
Repeatedly I’ve had Mr. DeRosa, Bandito Betty, and The KAke remind me that this shit only happens to me:
Strange shit with Steph DeRosa, happening daily whether I like it or not.
