The sass of these NJ Sweetgreens calling themselves fast food

How dare Sweetgreen consider fast food drive-thru lanes? In fact, how dare they call themselves fast food?

Fast food is fat and oil, french fries and too much red meat, mozzarella sticks and onion rings and the stuff from the ‘Supersize Me’ documentary in which Morgan Spurlock took 24 pounds in 30 days and raised his cholesterol to 230. take him 14 months to lose weight.

You don’t get these amazing results with Sweetgreen.

Sweetgreen is a chain of more than 100 restaurants and considers itself the “Starbucks of salad”. But in some kind of fast food.

They offer things like Chicken Pesto Bowls, Guacamole Greens, Cobb Garden and many more. Their drinks are not Sprites and Cokes but Jasmine Green Tea and Grapefruit Spindrift. Their sides aren’t fries and macaroni and cheese, but rosemary focaccia and miso-roasted vegetables.

What self-respecting fast food joint would serve this slop? That’s no way to have a heart attack!

Well now Sweetgreen has announced that they are add sweetlanes. Lanes. To make your healthy fast food even faster. The nerve of these guys.

There are only two Sweetgreens in New Jersey so far and it’s unclear if they should get the Sweetlanes. The first will travel to a location in Illinois over the next year.

The two Jersey locations are at 90 Hudson Street in Jersey City and the other is at The Shops On Riverside at 1 Riverside Square in Hackensack.

Who needs a house salad in Hackensack?

To be honest, we all do.
