There are two reasons why I love a great salad.

Shouts of joy! The Meridian Room is coming back. There was a lot of misinformation before about why it disappeared. Now-former owner Mike Smith gave the full scoop to Unfair Park in this interview that went up this morning. The best news is that The Meridian Room will be back in the beginning of November. [...]
