How should a Cobb salad with fewer tomatoes be rung in?

The correct way to ring in a Cobb salad with fewer tomatoes is to specify "No Tomatoes, Easy." This phrase clearly communicates to the kitchen that the dish should be modified by omitting tomatoes, and "Easy" indicates that this is a common request for adjustments that can be made in preparation.

Using "Easy" suggests that it's a simple alteration that should be undertaken without confusion, as it signifies a standard modification that the kitchen staff is familiar with. This helps maintain efficiency and accuracy in order preparation.

Other terms like "Regular," "Standard," or "Special" don't convey the same level of clarity or common practice regarding modifications. They can lead to ambiguity, potentially causing confusion in the kitchen regarding whether to include or exclude certain ingredients. "No Tomatoes, Easy" is more direct and helps ensure the server's intention is clearly understood by the culinary team.
