Reader: I love beets, but give it a rest already

I don't understand a single point about this comment. First, it's a contest to guess where the picture is taken. If beet salads are ubiquitous, it just makes the contest harder - which is kind of the point. Second, if you love beets so much, seeing them on more menus should do the opposite of making you sad. Third, if you don't care, why do you bother commenting? Taking the time to comment is the exact opposite of not caring. Finally, "Who knows?" Well, apparently several people did. 

Plenty of food items are ubiquitous in restaurants. Nobody complains when every Mexican restaurant has tacos or enchiladas. Nobody complains when every bar and grill serves burgers and fries. I've never heard anyone complain about the prevalence of other types of salads - like spinach or iceberg. A beet salad's just a good way to throw in some seasonal vegetables. Beets are cheap and add a ton of flavor, so why wouldn't restaurants use them? If you're sick of beet salads or find their presence exasperating, just keep your eyes moving past the word "beet" on the menu. That iceberg lettuce with ranch dressing will do just fine.
