Iceberg is the best overall lettuce, and it’s not even close.

It has a mildly sweet, clean crunch that works with everything. People who say stuff like “iceberg lettuce has no flavor” make an absolutely useless point because who cares about lettuce flavor? You want flavor in your greens? Grab some fucking arugula or some other fancy big city green.

I want my taco salad to taste like tacos. My burgers to taste like burgers. My hoagie doesn’t need strongly flavored leaves.

@Footiusmaximus I’m not saying you can’t prefer a certain lettuce for a certain application. I just feel like we need to stand up and raise our voices against all the anti-iceberg sentiment that’s been going on in this country for the last 20 years.

@chopaganda @Footiusmaximus Chop, I appreciate your food takes, but this one is atrocious. Iceberg has no taste and it’s 99% water. Vodka is the best spirit because you can mix it with anything?

@Rosey @Footiusmaximus I said what I said. Also, this opinion is in line with Kenji Lopez Alt and David Chang so I know I’m not on an island here.

@chopaganda @Footiusmaximus Who are three people who don’t like greens, Alex? I have 3 and 6 year old daughters. Your island is packed. Doesn’t mean iceberg tastes any good.
