A Sandwich A Day: Fried Eggplant at Bereket Turkish Kebab House

I didn't think that anything I ordered at kebab shop would be healthy, exactly, but I appreciate that I can get a greasy sandwich of the veggie-heavy sort, too. The Fried Eggplant sandwich ($3.50) is as oily as it sounds, a stew of fried sliced eggplant and peppers with tomato sauce that's rich-tasting and a little greasy but balanced by the tomatoes' sweetness and acid. I'm all for sloppy, indulgent vegetable eats, and this isn't a bad example.
