Why do restaurants continue to serve raw tomatoes? They mostly taste like some kind of mealy, acidic, fibrous bulb. They don't contribute to the flavor of the dish and they needlessly inflate the dish's expense to the restauranteur and the price to the customer. The only joints that can afford good tomatoes have to mark up the price 300-400 percent.
As along-time falafel devotee I was amazed at the quality and freshness of the dish at the Med Kitchen. We stumbled into the restaurant by chance as it was near our hotel. Now we make it a point to make at least one visit during our stay in Seattle.
Please knock it off.
