Birchwood Cafe is one of the Kohler household’s favorite restaurants because it’s close to our house and serves great food from local sources. What’s not to love?

They currently have a salad on their menu with the following online description:

Birchwood Cafe Bacon Salad

A Spinach, Arugula, and Black Bean salad. Sounds pretty healthy and veggie. Here’s what it looks like:

Birchwood Cafe Spinach, Arugula, and Black Bean Salad

Holy crap. It comes with think cut chunks of bacon on top! Now I know what they mean by Bacon Lardons in the description.

Birchwood being Birchwood, that is locally raised bacon from Fischer Family Hog Farms. In fact, you can order heavy gift baskets of pig parts through Birchwood. How cool is that?

The lesson: Don’t, currently, order a salad at Birchwood Cafe if you’re on a strict diet. One comes covered in thick chunks of bacon and the other with Blue Cheese. (Yum & Yum)
