The Quesadilla Is the Best Dish to Order at a Bar | Eater

"As the quintessential highway-or-pub stop with a mediocre American menu, this chain is the kind of place where the author always opts for a quesadilla. The typical bar-style quesadilla here (and at similar pubs) uses large prepackaged flour tortillas, shredded Jack or cheddar, and sometimes grilled chicken or steak strips, and is served with large tubs of salsa and sour cream. When done well it has a buttery griddle crunch, perfectly melted cheese, and salty, bite-sized meat; it's a comforting hot-and-cold dairy combination that reliably satisfies. Even when not executed perfectly — a little unmelted cheese or a dry tortilla — it still outperforms many other lackluster bar options like flavorless tomato soup, wilted salads, or rubbery burgers, making it a dependable, low-stress go-to that can turn a mundane meal into an enjoyable one." - Jaya Saxena
