Some time ago, fellow blogger Sherman visited Salumi, a well known deli in Seattle, and his post was received in a negative way. In an unfortunate way, Sherman’s recent post of Finch’s revived that topic which resulted in further negative feedback.
I have met Sherman personally for some time, consider him a friend, and have learned how he assesses a restaurant. We have agreed a lot of times (something we both think is scary) and, every single time we disagree, we understand why we disagreed. Because of this, it is safe for me to say that I can trust his judgment most of the time.
So why I bring this up? In a couple of weeks, I will be travelling to SeaTac for other reasons and, on my way back to Vancouver, I will try to stop at Salumi to confirm/deny Sherman’s originally thoughts. One of the main points of contention was that of the sampled sandwich, i.e., instead of being made to order, it was already pre-made. So, my challenge to you is the following: Which sandwich I should order? At almost $10 a sandwich, I am willing to buy at most two (most likely eat half and half on the spot and bring home the rest). In the Salumi post, two sandwiches were mentioned: mole salami and fresh mozzarella. Are these two an accurate representation? If not, what are your thoughts? Deadline for this post will be Jan 17th!
Update – Just came back from my trip. Yup, I “cheated” on the date! Salumi post coming soon, hehehehe.

what a great post!! hahahhaa…I’m Mijune from followmefoodie.com for anyone reading this. I know Sherman and Kim as well.
I can’t wait to hear the Salumi review…I will be going in Feb/March so I will do the same.
All of us eat out quite often so our standard maybe a bit different…in the end it’s all our personal opinions. It’s nice to see how passionate people can get when you dog their favourite restaurants though. As I say…it’s all for the love of food!
Sherman the “Che” of Vancouver food bloggers? Kicking the soap box once in a while?
Definitely get a hot sandwich if you go to Salumi. I liked the pork belly sandwich that I got and thought it was worth the $10 – big enough for two!
