Dining Out Boston

A long, long time ago, when I was just a bright-eyed, forgiving restaurant reviewer, I wrote an entry on Michael's Deli in Brookline. As I did not review the establishment's piece de resistance, I vowed to return and review again.

This past Saturday, roughly six months later, I visited Michael's Deli but to some confusion on the part of my fellow diner, the corned beef sandwich was not ordered. While I am no longer bright-eyed and forgiving, now it appears I am forgetful and confused.

Anyway, I'll visit for a third time, no great hardship, because the over-stuffed sandwiches are too good to try only once. Here are some pictures of the wonderful Thanksgiving Day sandwich ($7), complete with nearly a half pound of white turkey breast, a thick layer of stuffing, and a generous spread of cranberry sauce.

Less thrilling was the Chicken Salad sandwich ($6), which suffered from insufficient lubrication between salad and bread. The salad itself contained ample chunks of white chicken meat and crunchy celery mixed with enough mayonnaise to coat the ingredients but not enough to moisten the bread.
