Lou's Deli might have created one of my favorite caesar salads.
The big picture: When my husband heard I'd sometimes be writing about food for my new job at Axios, he joked, "are you going to tell them about every chicken caesar salad in the city?"
OK, fine. I do order a lot of chicken caesar salads.
Yes, but: This one at Lou's Deli in North Park is really good. It has big pieces of shaved parmesan, fresh kale and everything bagel crumbs.
- Those crumbs are what makes it memorable.
- You can also get a wrap with the same flavors, or try the new sandwich version.
The intrigue: The deli is a storefront right next to Happy Medium Bar. They work with the bar owner to curate a list of drinks and bottles for purchase.
- You can also get adult slushees like the Scooby Snack with rum, coconut, green melon, pineapple and lime.
If you go: It's open 11am-3pm every day. There's no seating, but you can grab a table at Happy Medium.
