The Great Avocado Sandwich

Veggie pita: no cheese, just the 'cado.

Brett's Kitchen aside the 'L' tracks at Superior and Franklin - and now under different ownership than Brett's Cafe in Roscoe Village - loads their vegetable pita so thick I don't think they can't fit it all in. They slice the pita bread down the middle into two pieces, and stack it like a sandwich. I lost the cheese and got avocado, and the slices were quite thick, soft and ripe. Order it like my pal Rose does, "No cheese dude. Hook it up with the 'cado." Sprouts, tomato and super green lettuce make good appearances. I understand they finish it with a fine sesame dressing. It's available every day. Except the day I came. The Dijon mustard worked quite well instead.

Slick awnings and crisp window lettering decorate the outside like a neighborhood café. Inside, ask for made-to-order items at the grill; then roll into the register line. For items from the case, like a tabbouleh or thick-cut portobello sandwich, go straight for the register line.
