Thu Jul 23 21:08:13 -0700 2009 1096288 rjohn40787 1 4886386 have you tried Tat's Deli in Pioneer square? Fri Jul 24 04:46:55 -0700 2009 4886063 13161 barleywino 2 4887323 tat's is more philly style than chicago style... but if you are ever in portland, there's this place: http://www.michaelsitalianbeef.com/ Fri Jul 24 10:02:17 -0700 2009 4886386 84310 clearskies0810 1 4887106 Nope. Fri Jul 24 08:56:09 -0700 2009 4886063 272166 ihateveggies 1 4887527 Has anyone tried Rizzo's French Dip in Ballard (15th and 73rd)? I saw them last week but haven't gotten in to check them out yet. My understanding is that they dip the bread/sandwich in the jus rather than serving it on the side. Fri Jul 24 11:02:08 -0700 2009 4886063 156153 akq 2 4993406 It's good. The do dip. Not quite the Chicago italian beef spicing we're all looking for, though.

Most disappointing sandwich ever after all the bragging done on the website. Go to Smitty's Chicago-style deli in Olympia. It was so terrific. I wrote this review here. http://www.urbanspoon.com/u/reviews/460335 I was amazed at the food there. Mon Aug 31 00:06:18 -0700 2009 4886063 1105851 dericjones 2 4993912 Thanks for your review. I don't get to Oly much, but I'll look forward to trying next time I'm there. Mon Aug 31 14:54:23 -0700 2009 4991875 12271 not the bad Steve 1 4992314 How about the new Taste of Chicago in the U-District, west side of the Ave at about 53rd St.? Anybody tried it yet? As far as I know, they're the only ones in SEA who claim to have an actual Chicago Italian beef; hot dogs too. Mon Aug 31 07:36:43 -0700 2009 4886063 114020 Barry Foy 2 4993902 I had lunch there today, in response to your prompting. Food was good, service was gracious. Unfortunately, they didn't have italian beef, due to some sort of ordering mix-up. They hope to have it soon, and promised to call me when they do. Based upon the posters on their walls, I suspect it will come from Vienna Beef.
