With boxes of matzoh overlooking loaves of Acme Bread, Saul's Restaurant & Deli in Berkeley is the countercultural deli counter. The Kosher joint recently stopped serving salami until it could find a sustainable supplier, yet its corned beef is worthy of Katz's. I was already planning a trip to Saul's before it surfaced in a recent New York Times story about the sustainable deli movement, but the attention is well-deserved. Check it out below.

The Polk Street deli offers your choice of bagel (I picked poppy seed), ham or bacon, and egg cooked however you want it. As you can see, you also get lots and lots of cheese — Swiss, in my case. This ordinarily would have been too much cheese for me, but on this sunny Saturday morning, it was just right.
