When flatbread is really good, as with these three, your palate takes notice. Cru Cellars schmears on fig jam and tops it with strands of prosciutto and dots of blue cheese. Jackson’s Bistro highlights the scent of grilled rosemary mingled with wild mushroom puree, herb-roasted portobello, red onions, fontina cheese and a drizzle of truffle oil that makes your mouth come alive. And Currents’ scrumptious contribution combines Brie, apple salsa, creamy Dijon and bacon crumbles. Choose one of these and you can’t go wrong. 2506 S.
