Salumi and other sandwich ideas..


Thank the blog Gastrolust for this great pic of the meat at Salumi's ... I thought I had to share this final sandwich place with you... even if your stuffed belly is not wanting talk of more delicious food after yesterdays american style feasting...
To be honest, I haven't been to Salumi's  (yet) but I hear lot's of chatter about it  and thought I should share it with you... from the pic above, I am intrigued..
Also I thought I should note the other ideas I have gotten from  readers in  the Seattle area:

  •  Cherry Street coffee: feta sandwich.

  •  Three Sister Cafe/Pike Place: grilled eggplant, tapenade, feta on a grilled panini.

  • The" Seahawk"s at WholeFoods - it is my weekly treat.November 22 at 7:03pm ·

WILD MOUNTAIN CAFE























Hi again!, It's Wednesday and my third installment of Sandwich week. I have been receiving Facebook comments about other sandwiches I haven't met yet, I am intrigued.. more about this at the end of the week.
As for today, I  will tell you about a long time love affair I have with the B.L.A.T. It is a bacon, lettuce, avocado, tomato sandwich that should only be purchased at Wild Mountain Cafe in Ballard it's actually right on 85th.. if you sneeze you will miss it so write this down (1408 NW 85th St. Seattle, WA 98117(206) 297-WILD)
Years ago , when the chicklets were little and the business was too, I would get a babysitter and take myself here for lunch. I would take a stupid magazine or a book and order my BLAT and a diet coke and feel like I was hiding away from my crazy world.  It was bliss. This place has all those homemade things you wish for in your heart like, Fried Chicken, Mac and Cheese etc....
Everything you eat here is fresh, most likely organic and made with talent and love...
These lovely small business owners have been done wrong by YELP so let's all go and eat there and help to make up for it..

My second favorite sandwich in Seattle...































So you all may or may not know of my obsession with Tub Gourmet Subs on Lake City Way (ok, i need to get a life). Urban Arcadia Builders Inc's office used to be dangerously close to this lunch shop. You can get that French Dip with provolone and a big container of dipping sauce or get the California.... which is avocado, turkey, bacon. Their bread is made fresh daily and delivered (not in the shop as I thought) . I have no complaints...
The interesting thing about that stretch of Lake Shitty Way is that it has the best establishment (Tub Subs) and worst  (Discount Gun Shop) right near to each other!--Anne

Best Sandwiches in Seattle, IMHO




Anne here, this week's theme is about sandwiches. For some reason everyone keeps talking about them this week. First, my friend mentioned trying to find a good french dip sandwich in Seattle. That evening , I went to my parents for dinner where my Dad had a list of the top 10 sandwiches in the country, that he plans to keep in his pocket( just in case he ended up in one of the cities that boasts having one of these masterpieces of meat). I love my Dad.
I thought that since I do seem to have some passion for a good sandwich,  I would share my fave's around town.
My first installment is, of course,  PaseoIf you have never gone to the Ballard or Fremont shop and eaten a Caribbean sub, then you are missing something in life. Their description of the customer favorite is: 

"Cuban Roast *MOST POPULAR*

$8.50 

Pork shoulder coated in Paseo marinade & slow roasted 'til falling into succulent morsels."

'NUFF SAID.



Thank you to Cameron Newland,local financial guru and amazing food photographer for this photo, It can originally be found on his Blog.

Holy crap , now I am hungry.

Queen Mary Tea


In Seattle there is this little place called "Queen Mary". It is the sweetest, little proper tea house around.
Lila and Hazel enjoyed high-tea for Hazel's 6th birthday last month. They gave tiaras to the girls to wear and we ate the yummiest little sandwiches and sweets around.
It was so peaceful and perfect, where else do modern little girls get to sit and be proper for 2 hours? They loved it! The sugar was sparkly and the cups were miniature.... I recommend that you stop in. At least to see the inside shop, and the pretty birds.. so well done in all of its floral over-doneness.
