Tam O'Shanter Clubhouse
|
| | | Good, Peppery and Meaty Sandwich Enjoyed. | |
|
| I found myself on a cold winter Saturday at Tam O'Shanter Golf & Country Club's Clubhouse in Bellevue, WA. I was with my buddy Garth and we were meeting up with my neighbors to watch the Seahawks play the Detroit Lions in the playoffs. | |
|
| Tam O'Shanter's Clubhouse is a very relaxing location. I get to go there because my neighbor's nephews work there. It is not too busy, has really great service and I came to find out that their food is also quite good as well. | |
|
| While there, I enjoyed half of Garth's French dip, fries, and a lot of Buffalo wings that were really good as well. I've been telling people lately about how I like my wings: overdone and really crispy, almost to the level of jerky. These fit that bill. | |
|
| It was a 5:15 PM gametime and it wound up being a really good game with the win going to the Seahawks. The final score? 26-6 with some really sweet catches such as this one from Paul Richardson. | |
|
| Here's the details on their French dip: | |
|
| | |
| | | A *huge* and extremely wide sandwich brushed with butter and extremely dark, think jus. To repeat: this baby is EXTREME! Bamboo skewer in tow. | |

| | | Arial view demonstrating the girth of this sandwich. Garth cut it in half, which was probably the right call but I think I would have felt quite manly dipping that bad boy in the thick gravy-like jus. | |
|
|
|
| | | The dark, thick jus and fries. | |
|
|
|
| | | I assumed initially that the bread was too thick and would be too absorbent. But somehow it worked. It did not actually result in a too-much-bread experience and the thick and viscous jus did also not allow for an overly absorbent experience as seen in J. Michael's French dip, for example. | |
|
|
|
| | | Clearly a lot of meat. There are some peppery onions in there as well. And you can see that the bread compressed quite well. | |

| | |
| | | Extremely wide sandwich with bread that looks like it could be too absorbent. | |
|
|
| | | Peppery, must be compensating for something with so much pepper? | |
|
|
|
| | | For being too dry but lots of it and peppery, flavorful, good texture. | |
|
| Dry (well done) and LOTS of beef. | |
|
| Compare to very beefy Bellevue brewing company tall boy sandwich. | |
|
|
|
| | | Peppery grilled onions that were good and additive. | |
|
| No cheese causes dryness but the gravy creates lubrication. | |
|
|
|
| | | For size and brushed with butter. | |
|
|
|
|
| | | For being so rich and thick and flavorful, gravy-like. | |
|
| Gravy very thick and rich, dark. | |
|
| Results in poutine when Gravy jus drips on fries. | |
|
|
| A consistent and interesting, well-executed French dip sandwich. | |
|
|
|
| | | Paul recommends the steak fries, not skinny. | |
|
|
|
| Fun little community place. | |
