I ate Greek Salad at three different restaurants in the same week to compare. The results were illuminating. The use of Kalamata olives varied significantly — only one got it right. The bright and lemony profile should be consistent but interpretation differs widely. the sharing table or mezethes i…

I went in with low expectations — I'd had mediocre versions before. What I found was Greek Salad made with real commitment to Kalamata olives and technique.
