Geo and Lisa have set out on an adventure... to boldly venture forth to places we have never gone before... to unearth what had previously been to us, a hidden food culture in the city we call home, Spokane. Without a doubt, it is truly a pleasure to taste the many wonderful flavors of the world that lay hidden like treasure in the kitchens of small business owners in nearby neighborhoods until their presence upon the menu catches our eye. Our quest was not to to find the best or the worst... but to try something new, to make new friends and acquaintances and to discover for ourselves more of what life in Spokane is like and what our community has to offer in way of culinary experiences.

The inspiration to embark on such a journey came after several dinner outings where we realized that there were many ethnic foods and extremely nice people who owned restaurants in Spokane. Having found this to be quite remarkable, we simply decided to broaden our horizon, to boldly go where we had never gone before, and keep a log of where we had been, what we ate and what we experienced while we were there.

With time to spend together around the dinner hour and a little lunch money in our pockets that we could give to our community in a "support your local business" type fof way, we began our food trekking journey in and around the city, and even venture out from time to time. It has become our quest, our journey... perhaps even our weird obsession, but whatever it is, whatever you think it may be, it is done with a spirit of adventure, one that we now take with us, everywhere, and wherever we go...

This is Lisa's blog... and THIS is Tasty Trek. This is our story.

Brooklyn Deli and Lounge

We ate at the Brooklyn Deli on Monroe, right off of Railroad Alley. Railroad Alley itself is interesting, and the deli is a cozy and welcoming little spot, making for great lunch outing. Brooklyn Deli serves homemade breads, soups and sandwiches.

We ordered the Ruben... (I think that it was a half...) with tomato soup...

and two of the the Special of the Day, (No. 1) the Pastrami Stacker....serve on Pretzel bread. We ordered one of them with Clam Chowder .

Yum!

If you wonder what this pretzel sandwich is like inside, here it is:

There was quite a selection of hot/spicy sauces to choose from. We liked ours just the way it was, but rest assured.. you can spice yours up if you like.
