Souplantation vs Fresh Choice

Souplantation and Fresh Choice are very similar cafeteria style restaurants. They offer salad, soup, pizza, bread and desserts for one price. Eat as much as you like. At one time, both had locations in Southern California, but at that time, I lived in Northern California. Around the time we moved to SoCal, Fresh Choice closed all their SoCal locations, so now we only get to go there on visits to NorCal. While they were very similar a few years ago, at least in my memory, now there is a huge difference to me. Fresh Choice has more choices, better quality food, and a nicer eating environment. Souplantation has fewer choices and they've raised their prices regularly without adding much to the menu. For vegetarians, Fresh Choice is much better. The only problem is that the closest one is 350 miles away.
