7960532662?profile=originalThe Plate: Ellie’s Famous Chicken Pot Pie
The Place: Ellie’s 50’s Diner, 2410 N. Federal Highway, Delray Beach; 276-1570 or elliescatering.com.
The Price: $12.97 (served with soup)
The Skinny: Ellie’s offers comfort fare with ’50s flair.
And what could be more comforting than a chicken pot pie, the diner’s weekly Tuesday night special?
The pie, billed as “My Special Angel,” actually is less a pie and more a stew, as my poodle-skirted server Adrienne told me.
Adrienne was correct.     
A large piece of puff pastry topped a hearty broth packed with large pieces of chicken, carrot and potato.  
And the broth? It was thick and rich, flavorful and thoughtfully seasoned — we’ve had soups and sauces that were way too salty. The chefs at Ellie’s get this right.
That’s one of the reasons people have kept coming back to this ’50s diner for a quarter-century.
