Varsity Inn
|
| | | I started a new job in late September and hadn't yet been out to lunch with my new boss, Peter. I was looking forward to the lunch (with some apprehension) but in general I was excited for it. We settled on the Varsity Inn, which is a very American breakfast and lunch place within a block of our office building in Seattle. We walked up to the place--if I recall, it was raining--and entered the restaurant. It was lunchtime and not too full. It was a classic American, booth-style place. | |
|
| I had recently had a French dip in Pete's presence and had told him about my French dip review hobby so I figured it would be fun to do a review over our first lunch. He doesn't seem like much of a foodie so I'm not sure just how enamored he is with my hobby, but I didn't care and I wanted a French dip. | |
|
| I was impressed that when I went to order, they had an entire section on their menu for "Dip Sandwiches". They had a classic French dip, a BBQ Chicken Dip, and the Dagwood Dip, which was a burger dip with Swiss. | |
|
| The Chuckwagon Dip: 2 burgers with swiss cheese on a French roll, served with au jus, & choice of tossed salad, soup or fries | |
|
| I ordered the Chuckwagon dip because I was feeling like it and I really like burger dips with Swiss. Kidd Valley has one that is notably good. Burger dip with Swiss, really is a category unto itself. With my dip, I ordered a side salad with bleu cheese. | |
|
| Plated, the dip was a true classic. The cheese was processed and a bit too creamy but overall good. | |
|
|
| | |
| | |
| | | Classic bread, buttered and toasted. | |
|
|
|
| | | Decent beef and a good quantity. | |
|
|
|
| | | Processed Swiss cheese isn't my thing and it definitely degrades the value of the sandwich. You bastards! | |
|
|
|
| It's a hearty, big sandwich that is good enough and comes with a salad, all for a price under $10. I probably won't be going back for this sandwich in particular but it's good enough in a pinch or if you are Jonesin' for beef, salty jus and creamy cheese. | |

|
| | | The salad with Bleu cheese wasn't all that great FYI, dear reader. Maybe just get the fries next time. | |
|
|
|
| Probably a "forgettable" dive in Seattle. | |
