I know Wendy's, Burger King, and Artic Circle all had salad bars in the early 80's. I don't know about McDonald's, because I have never liked going there. The best salad bar was at the Sizzler.

I'm not as germ-phobic as I sounded, but working the salad bar put me off of them, except in the "nicer" restaurants. I'm all for a healthy immune system but I'm trying to keep my three-years-and-counting-without-even-a-cold streak alive.
