SIDE SALAD - Everything crunchy is good.

DID SOMEONE SAY SOMBRERO?

Our fascination with sombreros has taken a bit of a siesta of late. But our obsession shall never abate. Never forget, the Salad is the home of The Sombrero Project (and its subsequent parts (Dos, Tres and Quatro and Cinco and Part Seis).

Which is why this Sombrero story we saw in the Arizona Republic about South of the Border, a 350-acre Mexican-themed roadside attraction in South Carolina including a gigantic revolving sombrero, got our attention:

Some people even have their weddings there. As a notary public, or "Pedro of the peace," Pelt figures she has tied the knot for about 500 couples.

She says one couple wanted to get married inside the towering sombrero with a Doberman pinscher as an attendant.

"The bride said it was her baby," Pelt said, "and it wore a pink bow on its neck."
