Salads become works of art at Charlotte's aptly named Crisp.
From the restaurant's website:
"Crisp
is a fresh concept in fast-casual dining. Crisp offers custom and
signature salads made with the freshest and highest-quality ingredients
(locally grown produce is used when in-season), tossed to order with one
of our house-made dressings and topped off with your choice of steak,
chicken, seafood or tofu, grilled to perfection as you wait. Crisp
sandwiches offer the same premium ingredients, grilled to order on
bakery fresh bread. House made soup selections change daily, and custom
pizzas are available in the evening hours."
"Walk in and you immediately face decisions, in the form of an
attended salad bar.... My favorite to date is the F.C.N.: That's fruit,
cheese and nuts, and it combines thinly sliced apple and pear, chunks of
blue cheese, Craisins (dried sweetened cranberries), toasted walnuts
and a sprightly citrus vinaigrette over mixed greens that are pretty
sprightly themselves. The attending salad-maker puts the ingredients -
bite-sized! - in a big bowl, seasons them with salt and pepper (after
checking with you) and really tosses it.... It is an amazing step
forward."
