Chicago Pastrami

3/16/2017
A temperature hot delight
The reason I was down there was that my wife didn't want to stay and "watch me eat a sandwich", so she went grocery shopping while I participated in my hobby. Thanks, Jessica!
Place
The restaurant location is clean inside and smells good. It smelled a little bit like Indian food to me but it was a pleasing food smell.
The location is downtown old town Issaquah and easy to find although I must say I had never previously noticed it and the place had been open for years.
Food
The Dip
Ordering
I was not given a choice of cheese type but I was okay with that. I later came to find out it was Swiss cheese and it was very good and very complimentary, very well melted and mixed in with the beef.
Sandwich
Meat
Crispy and lots.
There was tons of beef on this thing; very impressed with the size and amount of beef.
Non-Meat Toppings
Added something really good to the sandwich.
The darkly caramelized onions were also very good and complimentary. 5 to the non-meat toppings.
Bread
The bread was very absorbent bread and since the jus was soooo hot, it kind of was hard to eat but hot food is not a problem unto itself, that is the problem of the eater. The hotter, the better for most things, I say.
All you needed, nothing overly special but good enough and complimentary.
The sandwich alone is a 4-5 score for its size, good beef and really nice, temperature hot flavor.
The sandwich was not greasy at all even with the cheese in there.
The sandwich was indeed quite salty but I don't want to take points away from it for this issue. The flavor really was nice.
The sandwich had a great, unique and delicious flavor.
The sandwich was expensive at $12 for the sandwich only and I found the sides to be quite pricy as well.
Jus
The au jus was scalding hot like I had never experienced. Molten lava hot but also very good.
Peppery, temperature hot, delicious.
I got the sandwich only with a can of Diet Dr. Pepper, which was good and cold.
A really great sandwich with a really big portion. Temperature hot, peppery, good cheese, great jus, salty delight.
Also While There
I asked a couple of guys who sat near me if the Reuben sandwiches they ordered were any good and the guy said, "this Jew approves", which must have been a very good sign.
Impressively good food in Issaquah.
