The Bagel

Why do I get such a kick out of photos of people holding huge food?

Anyway, I had dinner all by myself at The Bagel last night. This lakeview restauarant started out in Skokie and has deli/diner food with a Jewish twist. It's really good from what I have been there there before and for some reason it isn't ever that busy there. But, I really love the cabbage borscht soup, which is cabbage cooked in a sort of sweet and sour broth. It is a huge menu, so there is lots I want to try. Last night I had a bowl of the soup and a salad sample plate with a scoop of salmon salad and a scoop of egg salad. Every table gets a basket of bread and a bowl full of yummy pickle spears.
