Roast Beef Bagel

Wasn't even my idea, it was the lady.

We were at a new delicatessen, it was crowded, claustrophobic even.

I went out for a breath of air, she hung in inside for a while, and later came out declaring she's craving for a roast beef sandwich. 

I'm not one to argue on such matters.

Tal Bagels, that was our destination of choice.

The place was kinda empty, but with enough people to not seem suspicious.

While our roast beef was sliced and heated and we chose our bagels. I picked poppy seed and she wanted a zaatar bagel, later switching to a light bagel.

My poppy seed bagel also featured: mustard, roast beef, grilled eggplant, fresh crunchy cucumber slices, tomato and lettuce. Heating the meat made it lose the pinkish hue, but the flavors and softness made up for that. All and all it was a sandwich justifying the fact we ran out of the hippest deli in town.
