"At Tat’s, a thin layer of capicola and company on a crusty roll sounds standard enough. But then they add pickled hot and sweet peppers, which inject a welcome spicy zing throughout each bite and swirl with mayo. All the pieces of the puzzle lock into place, and ordering this one "Tat's Way" means a fistful of kettle chips inside the sandwich, which we highly recommend. This is the emotional support grinder to bring on every seaside excursion." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
"Let’s say you were in a terrible mood somewhere on the East Coast. You might end up eating a pastrami sandwich, or a Philly cheesesteak, or literally anything covered in buffalo sauce. Head to Tat’s instead—it takes less time to get there. This is a dive with subs, wings, fries, and a lot of Pennsylvania-based sports team flags on the walls. Go for a cheesesteak with hot peppers or the Tatstrami sandwich, loaded with pastrami, creamy coleslaw, melted swiss cheese, and russian dressing on a hoagie roll." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley

"Let’s say you were in a terrible mood somewhere on the East Coast. You might end up eating a pastrami sandwich, or a Philly cheesesteak, or literally anything covered in buffalo sauce. Here, we have Tat’s for such soothing things. This is a dive with hoagies, wings, fries, and a lot of Pennsylvania-based sports team flags on the walls. Go for a cheesesteak with hot peppers, the Tatstrami, or a grinder stuffed with potato chips. Food Rundown Tat's Grinder It's a beaut, and dare we say, better than all of the warm stuff. A thin layer of italian cold cuts and provolone sounds standard enough, but then they add pickled hot and sweet peppers, which inject spicy zing throughout each bite and swirl with mayo to create a new, zesty sauce. Ordering this one "Tat's Way" means a fistful of kettle chips, which we highly recommend for crunch. photo credit: Aimee Rizzo Tatstrami It's named after the deli for a reason. Tat's best creation is stacked with pastrami, gooey swiss, coleslaw, and Russian dressing on a sturdy roll. The most important thing to remember is to order this as-is—while it may be tempting to get this thing "Tat's way" (which includes grilled onions and peppers), the pickled and sweet flavors overwhelm the otherwise magnificent simplicity of the sandwich. photo credit: Nate Watters Cheesesteak This is a satisfying cheesesteak, with peppery beef shavings and whiz the color of Big Bird. And while "Tat's way" is not advised with the Tatstrami, we can endorse it here, which comes in the form of added provolone, white american, grilled onions, and sweet peppers. photo credit: Nate Watters Old Bay Fries Shame on you if you don't tack on a basket of scalding hot battered fries. Tossed in celery-salty Old Bay, it's a necessary buddy for your sandwiches. Especially with a side of ranch." - Aimee Rizzo
"Who needs to hike for hours up a mountain when there’s a 22-foot waterfall right in the middle of Pioneer Square? Let the babbling water (and occasional siren from the nearby fire station) be your soundtrack as you take down a hot pepper-loaded cheesesteak. Or go for the equally excellent Tatstrami: pastrami, creamy coleslaw, melted Swiss, and Russian dressing, all stuffed into a soft hoagie roll." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
