Anyway, the restaurant is a cozy, little mom and pop joint on Central and Edgemoor, next to McDonald&#8217;s. I&#8217;m surprised that McDonald&#8217;s is still in business, actually. Why on God&#8217;s earth you would eat there when you have MIF Deli next door is beyond me.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/7380426158\/\"  title=\"2012-06-16 11.26.04.jpg by Ching, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7230\/7380426158_7f99b44e99.jpg\" width=\"500\" class=\"pic\" height=\"375\" alt=\"2012-06-16 11.26.04.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/7380461480\/\"  title=\"2012-06-16 11.31.57.jpg by Ching, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm6.staticflickr.com\/5327\/7380461480_c9a6803bec.jpg\" width=\"500\" class=\"pic\" height=\"375\" alt=\"2012-06-16 11.31.57.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<div style=\"float:left; padding-top:6px; padding-right:15px;\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.urbanspoon.com\/r\/329\/1335849\/restaurant\/M-I-F-Deli-Wichita\" ><img alt=\"M.I.F Deli on Urbanspoon\" src=\"http:\/\/www.urbanspoon.com\/b\/link\/1335849\/biglink.gif\" style=\"border:none;padding:0px;width:200px;height:146px\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>FourSquare lists MIF Deli as Turkish, which I thought was odd because the owner is actually Lebanese. Then again, Greek, Turkish, and Lebanese food have many similarities. I&#8217;m actually not quite sure that my palette is trained enough to tell the subtle nuances between the three. I think the name says it all. MIF stands for Mediterranean International Foods. The restaurant offers Greek and Turkish items. I&#8217;m sure many of the menu items that I&#8217;m thinking are Greek or Turkish have that Lebanese flair that punches it up a notch.<\/p>\n<p>Brian and I tried the restaurant for the first time after our workout on Saturday. It was really good because I felt like I was eating somewhat healthy and, thus, not thoroughly negating the workout that I had just sweat through. I craved it again the next day but, alas, the restaurant is closed on Sunday. <\/p>\n<p>As you know, Brian and I have hectic schedules throughout the week so the next opportunity to return won&#8217;t present itself until this weekend. I have some MIF Deli in my future on Saturday.
