For those that like beets, I can see adding them to Minestrone Soup for a Borscht-esque alternative. You can even add some kale for the greens. Chicken was a good accompaniment to many of the soups too.
For those that don't like beets, just pass on by. We don't need a wiki for the likers & haters.

Nothing beats beets or borscht.
I tried the beet and arugula salad. The beets were sparse in the bowl of arugula. The extra toppings included chicken, walnut halves, hard boiled eggs were available. I used the ranch dressing but there was at least another bottled dressing (Italian) as well as oil and vinegar available.
I ate the salad trying out the new barstools. They are covered in leatherette and have a small back. 2 hours later, and no ill effects from the sanitation at the "buffet"
I will digress into personal opinion because that is what we do.

I think we can all agree that a salad with beets, kale, dandelion leaves, tree bark, gravel on the side of the road, etc. has NO place in an Alaska Lounge.

Im guessing that a beet and kale salad will be a big hit in LA. Not everyone likes meat and potatoes all day. Everything has it's place. I think beets and kale are both pretty good - and super healthy for you.

Kale is sandpaper with less flavor
