After a three-year quest for the next Kale, locked on Arugula. – Perhaps like black licorice, polarizing but consistently refreshing. Kale can be schizophrenic: Lacinato, Curly. Red, etc, whereas Arugula is always true.

Perfect texture, a succulent mouth massage.   If ever in Tuscaloosa, experience at Side by Side. https://www.zomato.com/tuscaloosa-al/the-side-by-side-tuscaloosa/menu
