Colleen Mix After a long morning of Uber driving, I found myself at the intersection of Hwy 17 and SR 16 in Green Cove Springs. I turned into an otherwise desolate-looking plaza, save for the oasis, there, that is Larrys Giant Subs.
It was time for lunch before returning to St. Augustine! For sure Larrys Giant Subs would have something just for me!
Ive never been to a Larrys Giant Subs. I figured that visit would be perfect for a Caesar salad, as I often enjoy comparing this kind of salad, in particular, from one establishment to another.
I was given a choice between a large or small. I asked the difference and the sweet young lady motioned behind her to show me the size of the bowls for dining in. I was definitely ready for a good size portion of greens! I took a queue from a sign on their deli glass advertising, "Deanas chicken Caesar salad," having been brought back, "by popular demand." So, I swung also for a good dose of protein.
Well, Ill say! The chicken was delivered to me steaming on top of that heaping bowl of Caesar salad as you may see in the video clip. I just had to capture the beauty I had noticed about my lunch before I dug in!
My Caesar salad was so good and so filling I could hardly finish the last residing croutons at the bottom of my otherwise empty bowl.
The parmesan was shredded and the amount used did suffice!
The lettuce was a hearty green color all the way through--supple but absolutely of the nutritious sort! I love to see that Larrys Giant Subs doesnt hold back about the quality of the greens they use to make up an entire large salad.
The Caesar dressing came already coated very evenly on the greens, which I appreciate. It was a conservative amount of dressing--the perfect amount to serve for all levels of dietary preference when ordering that kind of salad. However, I enjoy dialing up the sensory experience of my Caesar just a bit.
I waited until I already finished all the chicken and half the salad before approaching the counter to ask for more dressing. I was happy the girl who took my order obliged my request happily without charging me more for the same kind of dressing.
I tried the cherry limeade as a fountain drink, but Ill admit I left a bit of room in my cup to top it off with Starry soda. That made it even more fantastic to wash my salad down with!
Next time I find myself out that far at Hwy 17 and SR 16 Ill be sure to stop in, again, and branch out to try something else on the menu!
Thanks Larrys Giant Subs of Green Cove Springs! I had the dining room nearly all to myself during my visit, but I can imagine how busy and hopping your location is when droves of hungry people are coming in your door.
Thanks for the good, healthy, nutritious filling and tasty bites of salad. I hope to be back soon!
