"At any hint of sun, Cal Anderson is bound to be mobbed with dogs, ultimate frisbee enthusiasts, and people who sunbathe in 60-degree weather. Build yourself a sandwich force field with a pastrami on rye from Dingfelder’s. Just be sure to order it “Seattle-style,” which means you’ll get half as much meat (and pay a little less). There’s still plenty of cured beef goodness to go around, and it won’t make a complete mess on the astroturf." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
"Dingfelder’s sells massive pastrami sandwiches from an open window on Capitol Hill. They also have matzo ball soup, egg salad, tasty half-sour pickles, and other things that you maybe had for lunch the last time you were in New York. It might not be located on the East Coast, but if you’re in the mood for a kosher sandwich so tall that you need a strategy to eat it, this is the place." - aimee rizzo
"You can pretty much consider Dingfelder’s another one-stop-shop for all eight nights. This takeout window on Capitol Hill has a “Chanukah Box” for $90 that feeds two to four people and includes a choice of meat, latkes, soup, gelt, and a dreidel. And if you’re looking for an alternative to Dingfelder’s already-delicious traditional latkes, you’ll find gluten-free, beet/turnip, and zucchini latkes in addition to potato. They’re also serving 12-hour-braised brisket, a whole roasted lemon garlic herb chicken, a platter of smoked salmon, sufganiyot, and pumpkin cheesecake." - aimee rizzo
"Owned by Vance Dingfelder, this deli provides traditional Jewish delicatessen foods such as knishes, kugel, matzo ball soup, and pastrami. It addresses a long-standing demand for Jewish deli food in Seattle." - Harry Cheadle
"Not too far away from Ben and Esther’s is Dingfelder’s, which has an extensive sandwich menu plus knishes, latkes, and everything else you could want." - Harry Cheadle
