Rate-A-Restaurant, #34 in a series

Restaurant: The Hat

Location: 491 N. Lake Ave., Pasadena

Type of restaurant: Deli

They stipulated: Cash only

What we ordered: Pastrami Dip Sandwiches, Fries and a Diet Coke

High point: Mmmmm pastrami.

Low point: Too. Much. Food. Okay, too much food is not a bad thing right? But, this is why most people in America are overweight. Upon seeing our big sandwiches, Mike and I quickly decided to share one and take the other home. We ordered a small order of fries and they supersized it. Not good if you are watching your girlish figure.

Overall impression: I really like the place. It had a fifties diner vibe and was very clean. Each order came in a paper bag with their cool logo and you help yourself with the paper plates and the huge selection of mustards and other fixins. The pastrami was good (thinly sliced and tender) although Katz Deli's pastrami (thicker with more flavor) is still my favorite.

Chance we will go back: Yes and we'll bring back more friends to share the food with.
