All that glitters

UPDATE July 8th: read Nancy Leson's lukewarm review in today's Seattle Times.

Oh dear. Rumblings of trouble from Factoria, grumblings of discontent, rumors of layoffs at Goldbergs, home of the $12 reuben sandwich.

Pickles alone do not a deli make. Nor seedless rye imported from Detroit. Even if you have latkes, chopped liver, herring in cream and pickled tongue, it's not enough. Sure, ya gotta have attitude. But more than that, ya gotta have heart.

From a repeat guest on France In Your Glass wine tours who lives in the Seattle area, posted with her permission:

Hi, Ron!

I wanted to tell you that I tried Goldberg's in Factoria yesterday and it is wonderful! They aren't shy about their prices, but neither are really good NYC deli's, either. Thank you for the recommendation! I plan to go again and friends of mine are going this week, too.

Ciao,
Darci

"All that glitters is not Goldberg's" was the idea. Needs work, perhaps.

Why is this title called "All the glitters"? I'm sure there's a reason, I just can't figure it out.
