Cheap Eats 2006

By Johanna Droubay

You'll think you've died and gone to Paris when you glimpse this bright, ambitious bakery's display of sugary, chic baked goods. From heavenly butter croissants ($1.95) to rich bread puddings ($3.50), Ken's sweet treats hook you; its savories reel you in. To totally transcend traditional Parisian street food, try the house-roasted turkey-breast sandwich ($6.45) decked out with spicy garlic aioli, asiago cheese and dark green-leaf lettuce and served on a chewy house-made baguette. Or for a Pacific Northwest twist on a classic French favorite, try the delectable, juicy croque portabella ($6.45). (JD)
