I was in the mood to try something new and happened to stumble upon Chopt. I've been trying to find a new Wrap/Salad place so this was right up my alley.
I'll start with the shocker! You know how when you go to the Farmers Market you are cuddled by the smell of the fresh produce? That's what it's like walking into Chopt. The smell of the fresh vegetables hit you at the door. This is not only a sign of quality product, however, it is also a hunger increasing tease. LoL!
As this was my first time, I was excited to see how the staff engaged with the customer. They were rushing you to hurry up, instead, they took the time to help you make a selection. I was helped by a gentleman named Markus. As I was undecided on whether to pick the Kale Caesar or the Sesame Ginger Crunch, Markus asked me a few questions and suggested I go with the Sesame Ginger Crunch! "Grilled chicken, rainbow carrots, broccoli, pickled red onions, crispy shallots, romaine, cabbage & cilantro blend." If you know me you know I asked for extra pickled red onions. Hehe! When we got to the dressing station, I swapped out the Sesame Ginger for the Limited Time Zia Chile Caesar. One word, WOWSERS! Between me and you, the dressing tastes just as fresh as the produce, not bottled. Hmmm! Could it be??
Ok. I decided to go with the wrap instead of the traditional salad. Biting into the wrap was a mouth shocking pleasure. The freshness of the cabbage and cilantro blend paired with the pickled red onions and the chicken! Oh my. Then top it off with the Zia Chile!! Who in the word decided to play with my taste buds like this? Everything about this crunchy, fresh, well thought out blend of goodness was an experience of bite after bite deliciousness.
Because of this, I will be back to try all the other blends of salads/wraps. Gone are my days of lettuce and cucumbers. I have entered the world of Chopt and I am here to stay.
