Zaftigs - Brookline, MA - 2007-09-22

Zaftigs

Zaftigs is a Jewish deli in Brookline. The food is amazingly tasty, but really expensive. They have a veggie burger that entails a double patty similar to the Boca/Garden style patty, with your choice of fixin’s. I don’t know if they make their own patty or where they get their patty from, but its pretty good, and you get two of them. The fixin’s are pretty much anything you want (they have a really good house mustard!). The bun it comes with is sorta lackluster. The first time i ordered i got it with their marble rye, the second time with the “stock” bun. I’d definitely suggest going with the rye bun, for two reasons, the stock bun requires stacking the patties, the rye bun is wide so it lets you sit them more or less next to each other which is actually a much better way to eat it IMNSHO. With the two patties its a big sandwich, theres no denying it, you’ll eat like you have a jewish grandmother (too much), but its pretty darn good.
