Amir Sedhom, the young Egyptian owner of Amir's Catering (924-2908), makes felafel so delicious that the last time I had anything like it was when I bought some from an elderly street vendor in Alexandria, Egypt. Crispy, yet moist, it's made from an old family recipe and served covered with tomatoes, lettuce, and homemade tahini sauce, then wrapped in a large pita bread (cost: $3). Join the many devoted repeat customers in line at his stand when he visits the Whole Health Expo this weekend at the Park Plaza Castle, in Boston. Or buy Sedhom's felafel frozen (15 for about $2.50, labeled "Fry and Try") at most of the Armenian food shops in East Watertown, as well as Bread and Circus and the Harvest co-ops.
