The Best (and Worst) of Bohemia

While I am pretty much over the whole Bohemia Bagel thing, despite the fact that I was eating there at least once a day at the beginning of the semester, I've decided that I still like it enough to include it on my blog. I've tried so many things though that I cannot write about just one meal, or one experience. Therefore, I've decided to make a list of my five favorite dishes, and my five least favorite dishes.


Five Favorites:
(these are in no particular order)
1. I Don't Want To Go Anywhere After This Breakfast
Biscuits and sausage gravy, three fried eggs, American bacon or sausage patties, hash browns, and mini bagel. I admit the biscuits are a little dry, and the hash browns have some unidentifiable spice, but it's a damn good breakfast. And it's only 169 Kč.
2. Chicken Salad
Chicken salad, sun-dried tomatoes, basil, lettuce, and fresh vegetables. Okay, the tomatoes need to be cut into smaller pieces, but this salad is always delicious. I've never had chicken salad with sun-dried tomatoes. Good idea. A full-size salad is 135 Kč, and the half-size is 75 Kč.
3. Turkey and Swiss
Turkey, Swiss cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, mayonnaise, and mustard... but get it without the mustard or else you won't be able to taste anything else. Only 105 Kč.
4. Hamburger
This is about as good as it's going to get when it comes to burgers in Prague. A plain burger comes with lettuce, tomatoes and onions, and only costs 135 Kč. But for 145 Kč, you can add melted American cheese, and for 155 Kč, you can add melted American cheese and bacon. They call it American bacon, but it's European bacon. The only place in Prague with good American bacon is The Globe.
5. Bottomless Fountain Drinks
It's probably one of the only places in Prague with fountain sodas, and drum roll ice! AHH! Only 49 Kč.

Five Least Favorites:
(these are in no particular order)
1. Bagels
They come in a variety of styles: classic, poppy, sesame, garlic, onion, cinnamon raisin, tomato basil, spinach, supreme, cheese, whole wheat, and chocolate chip. But no matter which kind you get, they won't be toasted properly. And the cream cheese won't taste like Kraft's Philadelphia Cream Cheese. And more importantly, they don't have sun-dried tomato cream cheese to put on their onion bagels. They are however only 11 Kč.
2. Chili
Specifically, the Vegetarian Chili with roasted vegetables. It's pretty much vegetables, and that's it. They aren't cut small enough, and it makes the whole thing WAY too overwhelming. Cost, 125 Kč.
3. Caesar Salad 65/119 kc
According to the web page, it has Romaine lettuce, Parmesan cheese, Caesar dressing, and croutons. But it's basically anchovies with a side of Caesar Salad. A full size cost 119 Kč, while a half portion only costs 69 Kč.
4. Healthy Hummus 105 kc
Hummus, black olives, olive oil, tomatoes, cucumber, and bagel chips. And let's not forget to mention garlic. Lots and LOTS of garlic. Yum? Only 105 Kč.
5. Philly Cheese Steak 155 kc
Grilled steak, onions and peppers, and melted cheese. Philly Cheese Steak my ass. It's all about
Dalessando's Steak And Hoagies
, but I'll talk about cheese steaks once I get back to Philadelphia. Any way, this is NOT a Philly Cheese Steak.


(Just a warning, avoid the Quiche as well, and the desserts aren't so hot either)
