The article notes: "For more than a quarter of a century, Elephants Delicatessen held center ring at the Uptown Shopping Center, it's original small space expanding ever outward as her store's reputation grew as the place for gourmet foods, wines, unusual ingredients and catering, as well as informed advice on any of the above. Tanzer began her deli out of sheer chutzpah. ..."
The restaurant review notes: "Elephants Delicatessen is known for beautifully prepared and delicious take-out and catered foods, as well as sense of style with French flair. ... The room's wainscoted walls are topped by multi-paned windows with views of leafy green trees. Urns of flowers provide seasonal color."
The article notes: "According to Jim Dixon, the reformed food writer-turned-specialty foods guru at Northeast Portland’s Real Good Food, there just “wasn’t much else” in Portland when Elephants hit the scene. “It’s not like today when you can go into Whole Foods or New Seasons or even Fred Meyer and find interesting cheeses,” Dixon said. “You might find an aged white cheddar from Tillamook. But unless you went to a restaurant, unusual things were not widely available.”"
The article notes: "I was never particularly taken with the old location of Elephants Delicatessen. It always felt cramped, and while I admired the food, it was strictly a place to grab and go, not sit and enjoy. That changed last month, when the shop moved three blocks east into the enormous digs vacated last year by Il Fornaio restaurant. Now, Elephants feels like a glorious Parisian market, the sort of place where you might sit and enjoy a light meal before dashing off to an afternoon at the Louvre."
The book notes: "Elephants Delicatessen has been in business since 1979, and like a good elephant, it's been slowly growing for many years as a PDX catering and food and drink depot. What sets Elephants apart is its ready-make selection. The Northwest Elephants is the largest location by far, with the most diverse offerings. In fact, the Northwest Elephants usually feels like a food festival taste pavilion."
