Which soups and salads are premium (have an upcharge)?

• A. French onion, blue cheese chop salad, wedge salad, and chili
• B. French onion only
• C. Blue cheese chop salad and wedge salad
• D. French onion, blue cheese chop salad, and chili

Answer: (A)

Premium soups and salads are the ones that carry an upcharge on the menu because they use higher-cost ingredients or more elaborate preparation. In this set, each item is designated as premium: French onion soup earns the upcharge for its rich stock with caramelized onions and a generous melted cheese topping; blue cheese chop salad features the flavorful, extra-cost blue cheese crumbles and premium toppings; wedge salad is billed as premium due to its hearty presentation and toppings like bacon and blue cheese dressing; chili is included as premium because it’s served as a larger or more richly prepared version with additional ingredients. Since all of these items carry the premium upcharge, they are all correct to include.
