Slog - Comments on The Sausage Closest to my Heart http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/03/the_sausage_closest_to_my_heart I had an assignment this morning in the U District (thanks to Dan for covering the big book story of the morning), and I had finished with it at about noon, which meant I was looking for lunch up there, which really only means one thing: A sausage at Shultzy's. The El Diablo, in particular: A spicy hot sausage split down the middle and covered with salsa and sour cream, served on a mountain of fries and with a side of coleslaw for $8.99. I like Thai Tom and a few other U District restaurants and everything, but goddamn if...

I ate at that place once. I had a delicious chicken sausage thing. Then about 20 minutes later I came down with the wurst case of food poisoning everywhere. It was coming out both ends man... both ends. Never again will I go there.

The Troublemaker made my list of top ten sandwiches ever. Maybe it was just timing, but I'm picky about sandwiches and this one was perfect.

It's one of the (many) restaurants I really miss. Those fries are the best I've ever had, too.

Sour cream on a dog, any kind of dog, is just evil. I'm a traditionalist: brat or Italian hot, mountain of sauerkraut, mustard.

People who put ketchup on a dog should be publicly drowned.

He told me a crazy story about how he had a Schultzy's in the microsoft cafeteria, and was making money hand over fist, but closed it because THE QUALITY WASN'T GOOD ENOUGH!

I always think about that when I hear about Schultzy's.

If a server elects to do so, it will come out of their own pocket, per the owner's policy.

So yeah, I don't eat there anymore. From the looks of things, they don't miss me, so good for them, I suppose.

I've never had a bad Shultzy's food experience. And their beers are typically interesting.

All I know is I didn't eat anything all day, then I went there, and then I was uncontrollably shitting and I my stomach cramped up. That normally doesn't happen when I go to a restaurant. I blame Schultzys.

I've had food poisoning twice. Both times it took less than an hour to set in.

Why wait, let's get it over with.

The really nasty ones that need medical attention, like Salmonella and Campylobacter, can take a day or two to set in. That's the fun part: you really don't know what it was that got you.

I eat there on average two times a week. Started my freshman year, I'm a senior now.

It was damned hard to convince friends to go their first time. "A sausage place? Why would I want to go there," they'd ask. They all became regulars.

Never had a bad (overall) experience. Once, my brat wasn't cooked to my liking they replaced it without thinking twice.

This is over a decade now, and the two times I've eaten there since it's been over-priced and just didn't care for the vibe.

Have you been there since they remodeled last year? It's actually pretty nice. Good beers. I skip the wurst.

I just really like the place. Feel free to email me if you'd like confirmation at johnw(at)orcasnet(dot)com. Better yet, meet me at Shultzy's for a beer.

You imply that it's unlikely someone would recommend something they like and encourage others to enjoy it too.

That is just wrong.

Some people are fanatics for food just as others are fanatics for bands.
