here’s a 1995 episode of “The Simpsons” from season 7 titled “Lisa the Vegetarian” and Lisa asks why there can’t be any vegetarian options on the menu for some event they’re having. Bart tells her, “You don’t win friends with salads.” Then Homer joins Bart in a catchy “You don’t win friends with salad” chant and the two form a train and start marching around. They exit the frame, and when they return, Marge has joined the train and the chant, much to Lisa’s chagrin. Salad might not be the most fun or exciting choice, but in the days of farm-to-table dining and with the creative strides chefs have made over the years, Lisa’s stance is aging better. We decided to try to win some friends with some of our current Central Arkansas favorites.
