Taste Tickler — Restaurant in Portland

First off - they usually get 5 stars...but...

The food is great, I've been eating here for literally 8+ years now, on almost a bi-weekly basis.

When ordering in the past few months with delivery, they have been missing things every other time. Be it a missing bag of chips, or a missing soda. I can deal with that and get a refund, but the missing items or added items on sandwiches is getting to be too much.

You order your sandwich by ticking boxes of what you do or don't want on it - so the restaurant receives specific instructions (not that you typed, but from their selections). In the past several orders they've forgotten to add at least one requested item, and missed removing at least one on 2 sandwiches now. It's not a huge issue of its an easy fix, but this last time, removing shredded lettuce (no veggies on sandwich, but they missed no lettuce somehow) sopping with vinegar from a sandwich is not so easy and removes more of the other toppings in the process - and missing a basic condiment as well. Please, all I'm asking is pay attention. One of every 10, I understand. 1 of every 2? Come on...

I was interested in having some Korean flavors in our food, so when we wound up at Taste Tickler, I was really puzzled. The whole place looks like windows and glazing from the seventies. However, there is a large board of loyal customers who have their photos on view. It is a sandwich shop, which also does Bento boxes. I ordered Bulgogi in a sub, and the meat had some flavor; then I realized that whereas I would normally have a bowl with rice and vegetables under my Bulgogi, here I had the sub roll as a holder. I think everyone's sandwich would benefit from a better bun. Mine was doughy and tasteless. However, regulars were driving up and jumping out to get their daily sandwich to take home or back to work. There are a few plastic tables and chairs outside, with a seventies sort of awning above them. It was raining when we came out to eat. We rearranged the chairs, and pulled the awing closer so it covered our heads and food. The atmosphere of having a Korean-influenced sandwich in the clean, fresh Portland air in a light drizzle---that's a lot of atmosphere. We enjoyed it. A neighborhood...

For thousands of years, passionate pilgrims have plowed patiently through obstacle after obstacle in order to reach the feeling of closeness to God that surrounds the body and soul after but a single bite of a Taste Tickler sandwich. Martin Luther, as he signed his name on his 95 theses, could never have imagined the lighter than air quality of Taste Tickler's bread, the sweet tang of the banana peppers, the umami fibrous flavor of the black olives. If he could have known these things that would go on to exist on earth, if he could have seen the marvelous height of human creation and emotion that is Taste Tickler-- one highly doubts that he would have been able to break from the church in his public and blasphemous way. He would have been too overcomed by this clear outline of God's form to ever doubt the church's wisdom again. And this author thinks, perhaps smugly, that any non-believer, agnostic, atheist, or otherwise unreligious person, is not in fact a person who is incapable or unwilling to find God, but is actually a person who had not yet known the seraphic pleasure of a Taste...
