    For those who don’t frequent idiotic restaurants, a wedge salad is what it sounds like: a wedge of iceberg lettuce with chunks of god-knows-what “drizzled” on it. They’re impossible to eat. The fancier the place, the more disgusting the ingredients.

    Sounds like a " woke " version of Southern " wilted lettuce " ( warm bacon drippings with brown sugar over lettuce ).

    OH, THE HUMANITY ! ! :-(

    And for the less sophisticated and the kids we also offer a wedgie salad.

    Does seem like a quick make-do when there’s an order backlog. I think the last I saw, years ago, had French dressing or something pink and lumpy.

    It’s time for the wedge salad to face extinction.

    Not to be confused with a “wedgie salad” (see Dilbert cartoons for an example).

    Sounds like cheaper than cole slaw, no grating. Two cuts with a knife, drop it on a plate, “drizzle” with something edible and charge for a novel name.

    Before this cartoon I had never heard of nor seen a wedge salad. I just googled it and it is one of the most ridiculous things I have ever seen. I would walk out of any restaurant that tried to serve me that.

    I remember when it was commonly on the menu, and I would often order it because I knew that it consisted of 2 ingredients – head lettuce and blue cheese. Other salads often contain stuff I cannot eat such as arugula, which is hard to pick out.

    My Mom and Dad decided to show my older brother and I how to eat “properly” at a fine restaurant. Dad ordered a wedge, pour blu cheese on it, stuck his fork in to cut it up. It slipped, did a one and a half flip in the air and landed in his lap. It was a year before,we tried that restaurant again.

    Or, it could be called a “60 degree salad”. Golfers get it…
