The Plate: “Mile High” turkey sandwich
The Place: Flakowitz Bagel Inn, 1999 N. Federal Highway, Boca Raton; 368-0666.
The Price: $10.95
The Skinny: I’ve been going to the place that is Flakowitz Bagel Inn since it was the Bagel Queen back in the ’80s. That was good, but my experiences have been consistently better over the couple of decades that Flakowitz has ruled that corner, at Federal Highway and 20th Street in Boca Raton.
Great breakfast and lunches, too.
Check out this turkey sandwich. At first glance, it’s ordinary enough.
But it’s not.
The menu says it’s made with meat fresh off the frame, and it tastes that way, too. Not too salty, wonderful texture — nothing soggy or spongy. Beautiful fresh rye bread, with crisp lettuce and a slice of tomato that tastes like an honest-to-goodness vine-ripened fruit.
The slaw was crisp and cold, with a tangy dressing that was not too sweet, and the jumbo-cut steak fries were crisp on the outside and tender on the inside.
