There's a recent phenomenon in Macomb restaurants that would appear to be the kind of place one would go for a decent (if not exactly elegant) meal: lettuce slime. The "chefs" at both the Red Ox and Il Spazio have served me salads that have clumps of black slime in them. It's gotton so bad that before I get a salad at those places I have to request them to examine the lettuce piece by piece for slime before serving it to me. Actually, the safest bet is to order a romaine lettuce salad, since romaine doesn't turn into slime as quickly as the delicate mesclun greens that many restaurants, in an effort to appear more sophisticated, serve.
Why is lettuce slime now acceptable?
