RUBY TUESDAY
Various locations
We still say it's the croutons. Have you tasted those things?
Deep-fried dark bread smothered in the goodness of garlic salt. They're enough to make even the most hardened meat-eater wish he'd ordered the salad bar.
Oh sure, the Ruby Tuesday salad bar has got the crisp lettuce, seasoned macaroni salads, rich and creamy dressings, and a host of assorted fruits, cheeses and vegetables. You'll come back for seconds and thirds and maybe even fourths.
But did we mention croutons? Maybe we're becoming addicted, but we swear it's those croutons.
