| - Day 314: Athena's Deli and Restaurant: I couldn't tell you whether Athena's is really a deli. Actually, I must admit I'm not entirely sure what is it that allows an establishment to describe themselves as a deli. I mean, there's no counter space or meat display case to be found and the sit-down orders far outweigh the take-out. Perhaps it is the mere inclusion of a corned beef sandwich on the menu, and Athena's is quite decent. In any case, it introduced me to the Chicken Whoopee, and "Chicken Salad, Bacon, Cheese, Spinach, and a Little Mustard on Toasted Served With Chips, Cole Slaw, and a Pickle" is one of the culinary proofs that Jesus loves us. But that's almost beside the point.
Athena's is a a restaurant that my family and I have been going to for many years. It has seen a lot of up and downs in both service and food quality, and maybe I wouldn't be so fond of it if it wasn't for how it feels like the local diner that is MY local diner, if that makes any sense. But for comfort food, you could do a lot worse.
