Please Don't Order Salad at The Hub~
OK, I shoulda known. The Hub in Rocky Mount is famous for their butterscotch pie, their veggie plates, their pancakes in the morning. But salads are just not their thing!
Today, I was meeting a GF for lunch at 1 at Edible Vibe. But EV was closed; they were having some construction done, so we went to The Hub. When hubby and I first moved here, every time we drove somewhere we ended up at The Hub. It became our big joke. "Oh, look, there's the Hub..again!"
So there we were, looking over the menu. Their specials seemed quite heavy, so both of us decided to try a salad plate...me, tuna, and GF had chicken salad. Our waitress was delightful...they're great there, as is the friendly owner. Here came our salads, on Fiesta-ware, so nice.
Oh...
A small scoop of tuna salad was centered on two, tiny wilted lettuce leaves, decorated with two tiny cherry tomatoes, one on each side of the plate, half a boiled egg, and one slice of cucumber. I could have put it in my left eye and still have seen around it. Oh, and 3 packets of those thin crackers. This lunch, with a tall glass of iced tea, certainly was no threat to any diet! So, yeah, I had to have their last slice of butterscotch pie. Yummy!
