Don’t Cry Over Spilled Macaroni Salad

A tale of a teenager’s first job

My first job was at Bonanza Steakhouse (think Ponderosa). A family restaurant from the 70’s & 80’s with an all you can eat salad bar. People would flock to this establishment. They could consume all the salad they wanted, before their steak and fries arrived to the table. Except it wasn’t only salad.
