What type of young single engineer can afford a house in the Chicago
suburbs? Only one that has income/wealth from another source.

Shoot, the idiot that owns this apartment building is converting it into
condos and he thinks he's going to make a ton in a down real-estate ket.

Even though the ket is down, he probably will still make a ton, just
not as much as he would have a year ago. The monthly payment on the
condos, including the association fees will probably still be 2.5x-3x
what the rent is now.
We just stopped 517 more condos in my town, but it took signature
gathering for a referendum, a court battle when the developers tried to
keep the referendum off the ballot, and then an expensive (for us)
campaign to fight the lies of the developers.

Ambrosia seems to be popular here on the left coast, as well as
variations on cold rice or noodles Asian culture-fusion salad
experiments.
When my Fijian neighbours first invited me for lunch, I partook
of some hottish curried stuff. Seeking relief from the spicy
torridity, I turned to the neutral looking salad for a moment.
But the salad was /really/ spicy-hot! I had to revert to the
curry for a cool-down on my poor, burnt-out tongue, to the
amusement of my host and his wife and many daughters. But it
was all delicious.
Fortunately and mercifully for me, there was a dessert of a
lovely, thin & wet "rice pudding" made from short lengths
of rice vermicelli sopped in milk, sweetened and blessed
with raisins.
I make the best coleslaw in town. But that's largely because
I include finely chopped-up pickle from the best commercial
pickle source in town. No walnuts, no raisins, and especially
no pineapple. Just the straight-up goods. The trick to good
slaw is to let the simple ingredients do the talking, and to
not overwork or overprocess it.
I'm partial to the kind of potato salad with hard-boiled egg
slices, paprika, mustard powder and chopped green onion in it.
I guess that's a "white" salad. Except for the mustard tint.
Macaroni salad is even whiter. But that can hit the spot too.
Especially along with something with cucumber & cheese.
cheers,
Tom

I'm in Ca. right now and a salad is often a bowl full of green stuff I
can't even identify. I head for the Broccoli, Shrimp and fish, and
detour anything that even resembles a McFood place. Definitely not a
rabbit here. If I eat too many calories I put in my pennance on the bike.

They'd call it a "side" or "house" salad. It would be microscopically
better, including nothing more than trace amounts of carrot and purple
cabbage for color, but it would still be basically a lettuce and
tomato salad.

There was (is?) a by-law in Vancouver where "licensed premises"
cafes & diners could only serve beer or spirits to customers who
also ordered food. Some places had "ostensible" salads for that
purpose, just in case the cops looked in.
I wouldn't be surprised if they re-used the same, untouched bowl
of salad a number of times.
Sometimes salad ain't for eating.

Tom

You've never been to a college campus with a bunch of million dollar
suburbanites trying on the populist socialist look? It's all about
context. The classic Che image stenciled on a wall in Honduras is a lot
different than a pop-art Che on the chest of a white salad snob.

If you have never seen a salad worse than this, then you have lived a
VERY sheltered life.
I've been served far worse looking salads than this over the years --
salads where the lettuce was old, brown and wilted; salads where the
greens weren't properly washed and had quite a bit of dirt on them; and
the best one, a salad where a number of small dead insects (fruit
flies?) were stuck on the leaves of the lettuce. Compared to those, a
salad made out of shreds of fresh iceberg lettuce and four slices of
tomato isn't too bad.

The problem lays in ordering the salad in the first place. Only some
nutjob from SF or NYC is going to order a salad at the meat n' three on
the small town square. An educated traveler would eat what the locals
eat, be it poke salat, field peas, or collards. Asking for a salad at
Bob's Roadside Dinette, then complaining is about as stupid and
ignorant 'merican, as going to Hong Kong and complaining that the
dumplings don't taste like McNuggets.
It's the type of overly educated ignorance that drove me from living on
the left coast. As pretty as it was, it was unenjoyable when a vast
majority of the population had neurotic food issues such as veganism by
choice, but with an inability to cook. You don't mess with food and/or
sex. Both should be enjoyed with wild abandon, and as often as possible.

Amen, brother. Now why are there no women that are like that? All the
single women out here in the 'burbs are vegetarian, neurotic, leftists with
cats. If there are any decent women, they're deep in hiding.

I did what was recommended. I went to church looking for 'good' women, only
to find that since I wasn't ried, I was an oddball and therefore pretty
much shunned. The only other place single women seem to be in the 'burbs
are in bars. And behind bars.

I was told that in high school and went to a few churches and never
found the sex deprived girls I had hoped for. Wrong place.

Try a library or maybe take a college class that looks both interesting
and something you might find some female types in. Bars are the wrong
place, voice of experience, unless you can pick up the gorgeous cocktail
waitress who doesn't drink herself.

I've had a library card since I was 9. But girls never notice me. I'm
reading technical books not romance novels. I've read a few of their
romance novels. If that's what the average woman is looking for, she's
going to be downright unhappy most of her life.

What he said.
My point was that, by the time they're out in the 'burbs, they're either
ried, or jail bait. You might find the odd divorced soccer mom. You
need to head back into the city, or meet them through work, or friends,
or back in school (college).

Hell, I went back to college once when I was 30. I was too serious and
busy at both ends, i.e. taking 13 hours of courses and 32 hours/week of
work. I met some nice girls but they were more interested in guys their
own age. I have danced with the homecoming queen, and if she hadn't moved
to Springfield, I might have dated her. . . .
I lived in the City from 1997-2001. Didn't help, either.

Women over 25 to about 35 are where you want to look. The young ones
want the 'hot' guy with no consideration that he might be a Forrest Gump
or just an asshole. Slightly more experienced ones have been there and
don't want to do that again. The intelligent ones that is. My own
daughter is 27 and still looks for the 'hot' guy, only to find out he is
as good as brain dead to her, or a complete jerk. At least she doesn't
have to worry about the abusive types since she is 5'8" and a kick boxer
plus knows a lot of Air force guys and their wives.
Anyway, ignore the young hotties, because they don't have it together.
Old enough to know.

Hmm, around here, the single women out in the burbs tend to be the
young, successful professionals, that are st enough to not buy a
junky condo. Nurses, lawyers, engineers, etc., those with high enough
incomes to afford a house, as well as all those nice bicycles.
Maybe the problem is that you're no prize.

I've decided I'm no prize. I think for my 50th birthday, I'm going to

Worse, any dork with a camera thinks its OK to record people without
permission and publish the results.
I've been seeing an increasing number of businesses with signs at the
door stating that use of cameras and video recorders was strictly
prohibited on the premises. I suspect that some of this is generated
by the idiocy of people who think it would be kewl to shoot a YT video
while (for instance) racing rolling mop buckets down the aisles at
Sam's Club. (I saw a trio of fools get ejected from one for just
that. There was applause for the security guys.)

Well, if you'd leave the bag in the fridge instead of carrying it in
your belt pack, it would last longer...and it wouldn't keep trying to
get you to pull in at that barbecue joint where all the motorcycles
are parked.

Same kind of out of towners that we get around here. They get the
porkchop sandwich at Jack's Western World, then complain that it's
bone-in. Stupid tourists--that's where the *flavor* is!

I've seen much worse. Wilted lettuce with no tomato at all, drenched
in oil with just a rumor of vinegar, on one partcularly memorable
occasion.

i've seen worse... at least the lettuce looked reasonably fresh. It just
looks like a boring salad.

It looked like a perfectly acceptable salad to me, too. I've eaten a lot of
salads not much different than that. Maybe it's not acceptable to the Luny
Left (who else would wear a Che tee-shirt in midwestern America?)

No kidding. You can tell by the background it's your basic roadside
cafe of the type that's been serving that traditional iceberg/tomato salad
for eons. What the Hell were they expecting, beet n' pear rocket
salad? If anything, it's classic Rt 66 and is as authentic as you can
get. Stupid tourists. I bet they ride bicycles, too.

I don't see anything wrong with the salad. That's the way I LIKE my salads.

Well that's the point, which I should have mentioned. They were
_cycling_ Route 66. The woman in the video is relatively well known, or
so I thought.

I think that that salad is much worse than you'll find at most
restaurants, and I've been across the U.S. on land many times, and never
saw a salad that bad.

I worked construction in rural Illinois and Missouri for two summers some
years ago. This is a typical salad, except for the unusually generous
quantity of tomatoes.
People who wear Che t-shirts in places like this are lucky to be served at
all.
They are IN the restaurant, with other patrons around, making fun of the
place -- and by extension, the people who have chosen to eat there. This is
very, very rude.

I'll agree with other posters, that the salad in question is not
atypical of what I'd expect at a small-town diner (what this appears to
be) in the Midwest. I thought I heard something in the early part of the
audio track about the guy expecting arugula, or sun-dried tomatoes.
The real rudeness is "outing" the name name of the place in the audio
track. At least other travel writers, when they hit a bad spot, usually
use the occasion to make the point that one should "eat locally"--what
is produced locally, so it's at its most fresh.

LMFAO!
I've seen better salads in January in Sweden.
I'll raise you a wedge of iceberg with Russian dressing from a jar.
