"The Post caused a stir on Wednesday by reporting that prolific salad brand Just Salad was axing the option to have a salad chopped into tiny little morsels on command. Now, Just Salad CEO Nick Kenner is on the defense with the chain’s new no-chop policy. “It’s a better experience categorically,” Kenner tells Eater of the chopless policy. According to Kenner, Just Salad started phasing out the chopped option at almost all its stores last year. Only five locations have kept up the chop, considered by many to be an NYC tradition. Those stores will keep on letting customers request for their salads to be diced into itty bitty bits into June, but then the company will stop chopping entirely. Kenner says that stores that have already eliminated chopping have seen a 20 percent increase in sales, which he attributes to increased speed and improved taste and service." - Kayla Kumari Upadhyaya
