No. 26: Michelangelo Sandwich from Talia's Table

Talia's Table is nearly hidden off of Spanish River Boulevard in suburban Boca Raton.

It's a tiny, cramped deli that looks like a Bronx tenement where every

spare inch of exposed wood and brick is covered with Polaroid

photographs of people posing with their food. And that food is

impressive: hulking sandwiches, platters of shrimp with broccoli and

potato, fat rigatoni pasta napped in homemade marinara. Talia's makes

its own mozzarella, fennel sausage, and meatballs, all of which find

their way onto those great sandwiches. The self-described best, though,

is one called the Michelangelo. In between two pieces of crusty

foccacia is piled thin chicken cutlets, roasted eggplant, charred red

peppers, basil, marinara, and some of that homemade mozzarella. At less

than $10, it's a huge sandwich that's like a fantastic antipasto platter

laced with a bit of local sunshine. Enjoy one at the communal tables,

with folks sharing meals family style and sipping $1 self-serve beer

from plastic cups.
