Le Triomphe, Winter Park - Closed

I had a Jardinier sandwich to go two weeks ago at the old Dylan's Deli. It cost $7. It could only have been good (tomato, romaine, carrots, celery and cuke) if the vegetables were well sourced. They weren't and the carrots were cubed not shredded. The celery was in strips (was this a crudite in another life?). This place is just an assembly line not a kitchen. They just take prepared items and assemble them. They also buttered the bread. On a vegetable sandwich! They also tossed in strawberries for no reason. A salad on bread. Which is how I ate it. Salad with bread. They didn't do much to the place. They painted the walls (orange) and put up art by a really unskilled artist. On the menu they sometimes put the meat first in the description and other places at other times. They are closed on Sunday. The owner is from Bordeaux. She should know that a place like this is only as good as the ingredients. It's now just an overpriced deli with one employee (long wait). It was as close to authentically French as the blue grass music they were playing on the sound system. As triumphant as Napoleon at Waterloo.
