today: location forest lane in north Dallas. 1. cheese sauce for the tacos was so watered down it was barely yellow. Even when it cooled of, it was runny like water. I am sure it is extreme cost cutting. So, I suppose you take a gallon can of Rico's nacho cheese sauce, which is 'decent' as is and will more than stand up a spoon, and dump it in a 5 gallon bucket, fill the rest with water, mix that up into a disgusting dribbling mess, then put some out on the steam table. (the directions on the Ricos can say add 1:1 water to increase your profits, not 4:1) Sorry, souper salads, nacho cheese sauce is supposed to be too thick to use a straw with, not that I tried, it was so disgusting. Otherwise it's called soup, not sauce. It's bad enough it is mostly hydrogenated oils, do you have to make it that much worse? I even tried putting some of the "shaved cheese" from next to the tacos into my bowl of cheese sauce (intending to use it for a few tortillas and the baked potato), but it would not behave like cheese and melt, and the whole thing kind of congealed into an oily aomeba-like blob that kept trying to escape the bowl.. 2. sour cream is also supposed to be thick, especially when on ice. For the baked potatos. I am not sure what was in those containers on ice, but that sour-cream-like stuff was so thin it dripped right off the serving spoon spoon like gravy. Soon as it hit the hot baked potato, it ran like water. I'm not sure how that was accomplished and I don't need to know (although the waiter said something about buttermilk), because I would not ruin sour cream like that in the interest of saving a few pennies and making one serving feed 5 people. No wonder the place was 2/3 empty at lunch time. 3. 'Bleu' cheese dressing. This is a no brainer. I looked for the bleu cheese particles. Really. But there were none to be found, except if they were the little 2mm diameter things in the white-colored water you were representing to be bleu cheese dressing. It tasted like buttermilk. It was funny that it was so thin than when I dropped my fork onto a spinach leaf on my plate it splattered like milk. I am sure the other patrons found it funny that I was having to slurp my salad. Until they had theirs. 4. all the vegetables and other real food was fresh and good. but it does not matter, when you offend the customer, cheating them out of something good, by offering shitty sauces that ruin the food in so many ways. Why not try "not" diluting your dressings and sauces, and charge $1 more if you have to? Nobody's going to eat you out of $1 worth of bleu cheese dressing or sour cream, (especially with all the women that eat the otherwise good salads there and don't use much sauce) you buy them wholesale you cheap idiot..
