Fridays are perfect for enjoying a filling breakfast – it’s the end of a long week and right before the weekend. Why not stop for a quick treat before heading to the last classes of the week?
After nearly four years, I finally had the chance to eat at Saul’s Restaurant & Delicatessen, located on Shattuck in the Gourmet Ghetto area. Saul’s has an old-school deli feel to it, with a nice and spacious diner area for patrons eating in. My friend and I were seated in the booths, and after a quick perusal of the menu, I knew what I needed.
From another friend’s earlier recommendation, I ordered the Challah French toast. I was pretty hungry that morning so I made another order for a half-serving of Saul’s Deli Hash.
The Challah French toast was heavenly, no other way to put it. A combination of Jewish bread inside a fluffy French toast made for an extra-flavorful breakfast. The deli hash – a combination of bits of corned beef, pastrami, salami, and hashbrowns with poached eggs – provided the meat of the meal and worked well with the fresh pickles the waitresses provided.
All in all, a delicious and filling breakfast that takes traditional breakfast elements and adds a fun twist.
