Walk into enough salad bars in Westwood and you start noticing the small things. The greens that sat in the pan two hours too long. The dressing ladle that hasn’t been wiped since the lunch rush. The protein section that’s running on what looks like this... by webteam | Jun 28, 2026 | Salad Bar
Something real happened when restaurants started letting people make actual decisions about what went in their meal. Those people came back. And they brought their neighbors.
