 Oh no, please, I MUST warn the WORLD about Ken's NY Deli. This is the
 place I lunched at to get away from anyone I might know in the area (when
 I worked in Burlington). Only old slow-moving blue-hairs who probably
 burned their tastebuds off with too many doses of Milk of Magnesia ate
 there. The bagels are on-the-way-to-stale (even in the morning) bread
 shaped like bagels. The corned beef is all fat. The romanian pastrami is
 good warmed (so some fat drips out) and the ham (black forest?) is good,
 but ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ELSE. Yuk. Pfewy.

 As an aside - the Russian strudel woman (never caught here name) who runs
 the Strudel Cafe (up Middlesex Tpk & make a left at the Texaco [rt ?], its
 in the little strip mall on the left) makes EXCELLENT sandwiches on
 home-baked bread. I'm not surprised she has the best lunch food in
 Burlington as she's from Brookline.

 cheers,
 Jodie
