Since by some weird coincidence Andrew went to Modmarket just as I was really, really wanting it, I decided not to write about it. I am, however, devoting this post to Mad Greens, a very similar place. We’ll call them cousins. Just as its name suggests, Mad Greens mostly serves salads and is geared toward your typical health-conscious veggie lover.
What I liked best about the place was the way the menu suggested what I should order. Under “Dionysus salad” I could read a list of the ingredients (romaine, feta, red onion, kalamata olives, tomatoes, cucumbers) and find a recommendation that I order it with citrus-grilled chicken and red wine vinaigrette. For someone like me, decision-impaired under the sheer stress of ordering a salad, this was quite the handy feature, and I obediently followed the menu’s orders.
I couldn’t act smug about creating the perfect salad all on my own, but practicing humility when faced with salad expertise ended up paying off. The salad’s kalamata olives and red onion added that salty Greek salad edge that never fails to satisfy a craving for something savory, and the recommended chicken and dressing did round out the meal nicely. I loved the red wine vinaigrette and can’t imagine ordering any other dressing at my next visit even though Mad Greens has about 20 to choose from. As I perused the list for research purposes, the shallot tarragon vinaigrette piqued my interest, but an employee described it as “disgusting.” Noted.

A somewhat bland vegetable soup rounded out my meal. The menu didn’t tell me to get the soup, so I should have known better than to go against it when it had only my best interests at heart.
Mad Greens recently decided to close at 8pm instead of 9pm. I ordered at 7:45, so as I was finishing up I witnessed several people try to enter unsuccessfully. One person knocked for a good five minutes straight. Another approached the door, backed away, tried again, called someone (911 maybe), tried again, threw a tantrum of sorts, and then finally left. Maybe he was overreacting, but I think a dramatic paradigm shift occurred for him. Mad Greens is supposed to know what you want and give it to you, but the pattern didn’t hold true for him. Visibly enjoying my food inside the restaurant, I became a cruel reminder of the world he used to know.
Another thing I like about Mad Greens is that you can trade out items in a pre-made salad – for instance, I don’t like tomatos so I can trade it out for snap peas FOR FREE. Also, they have this neat calorie counter on the website (www.madgreens.com).
