Subject: may be misinformed about iceberg lettuce
Hello, It’s great to know there is a new restaurant, however it appears you may be misinformed about iceberg lettuce.
This from a nutrition website: www.nutritiondata.com
Shredded iceberg lettuce
The good: This food is low in Sodium, and very low in Saturated Fat and Cholesterol. It is also a good source of Thiamin, Vitamin B6, Iron and Potassium, and a very good source of Dietary Fiber, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin K, Folate and Manganese.
The bad: A large portion of the calories in this food come from sugars.

I would like to know who came up with the dumb idea that iceberg lettuce is a lesser form of lettuce. Maybe some bored and unimaginitive food critic who wanted to be original. Lettuce, like any other food, is a matter of taste. Now here comes some dude and says iceberg lettuce is no good and Triangle area restaurants, who want to be like restaurants in New York, Paris and Madrid, ban iceberg lettuce. Interestingly enough, the farther away from the triangle, the more likely you are to find restaurants that serve iceberg lettuce salads. Bring back iceberg lettuce salads to the Triangle and stop this ridiculous salad discrimination. Bunch of Triangle snobs… I say…
I know this is old, but hopefully more places have ban iceberg lettuce. I can’t imagine why anyone would WANT iceberg lettuce served to them in any establishment. It tastes terrible and offers no nutritional value. The more iceberg lettuce I see in my salad, the lower the quality of the establishment.
