I just had the BEST PHILLY CHEESESTEAK for lunch . . . outside of Philly

[dr.strangelove]

Its from a little place in times square called . . . "Philly Cheasesteaks" The owner lives in Philly and owns a few rather notorious cheasesteak places. He opened this up to spread his joy.
Loved the steak, but the cheese fries put me over the top.

1. We like cheese on stuff, here.

:)

[regularguy]

2. Mmmmmmmm......cheese on stuff..........

[skypilot]

7. "Oooooo...cheese on stuff..."

[terrya]

3. I love those things, except I can almost hear my arteries harden.

Philly Cheesesteaks are so damned good (I had one in Philly, in fact)

But, sadly like Chicago Deep Dish Pizza, they're not exactly health food.

5. Man it was good, but

its sitting in my stomach right now and I feel like I'm going to need a nap.
Yeah, that was an artery hardening as I typed.
I think it was worth it though. I LOVE CHEESE.

8. what's wrong with Chicago pizza?

Its got all the food groups!

4. Then it's not a real Philly Cheesesteak

Until you've waited in line for an hour on Passyunk Street in the cold at 3am in the morning either drunk, stoned or both for a cheesesteak....

....well, you just haven't had a real one yet

[dr.strangelove]

6. It was right tasty though

[Beaverhausen]

12. Don't forget it must be eaten off the roof of your car

Oh god...those were the days...

[MrSlayer]

16. Passyunk AVENUE or as we call it "The Ave".

Not a native I suspect.

Jim's Steaks on South Street is the best cheesesteak in the world. If you are ever in our fine city do not miss this.

21. I'm in Philly all the time

I use to be a Gino's person until I took GOPisEvil, MaineMary and WillPitt there for Cheesesteaks and <gasp> they were selling cheneying freedom fries.

I hear Pat's is good

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

20. Lynne! I knew we had met somewhere.

BTDT.

9. Philly's Best in Chicago not bad

Though it lacks the hustle and bustle of South Philly they're trying hard (you can get Tastycakes and Herr's too) - The J-Bar in Aspen has a lot of Philly guys and the "shaved ribeye" can be easily converted to a pretty good specimen- I never liked them with whiz anyway

10. OMG! A month's supply of Cholesterol in one meal! (nt)

[dr.strangelove]

13. I love all the grease too

Not just tasty, its good for you too.
If you don;t eat the bread, theres no carbs.

Okay, so I probably took 10 years of my life, it was a good sandwich.

[Speck Tater]

15. FWIW

The neolithic hunter-gatherer diet we evolved on was 10% fat, 10% protein, and 80% carbs. That, I'm told by a number of authorities, is the ideal balance for the human metabolism, propaganda to the contrary nothwithstanding.

11. mmmmmmmmmmmmmm

God I miss Philly Cheesesteak sammiches.

[TX-RAT]

14. Forgive the ignorance of this West Texas boy.

What is a Philly Cheese steak?

[Nevernose]

17. From one Texan to another: finest food ever

Shaved beefsteak, paper thin, fried with onions, peppers, and/or mushrooms, plus cheese (preferred cheeses vary depending upon region), all served on a sandwich roll.

Sounds bland, and maybe it is, but there is nothing quite like it.

[TX-RAT]

18. Gotta try one of those. Thanks

[dr.strangelove]

19. They are great.

There are a few Jason's Deli's around Texas. They serve a Philly Cheasesteak as a special often. I know there are Jason's Deli's in Austin, Houston and Dallas. Next time you are in or near one of these cities, give it a try.
