Question about Philly cheesesteaks

    I'm guessing Amoroso rolls (although probably day-old), Tastycakes, and Herr's chips. That was the MO of a place called Philly Connection that we had around here.

    Ours had Tastycakes so stale that the frosting didn't even stick to the plastic... and anyone who has eaten Tastycakes knows that it's not a Tastycake unless you have to peel the frosting out of the wrapper and put it back on the krimpet or cake :D.

    Capriotti's... home of the Bobbie. Greatest. Sandwich. EVER.
    Thanksgiving on a bun, and miraculously well accomplished.

    Gotta admit Fr. Trinkle made a mean pretzel.
    Spicy brown by a landslide. Most ballparks only have the yellow. It does the trick, but it's not the same.

    Big Mikes in El Segundo is an awesome sandwich shop, a bit expensive but really loaded sandwiches. It's my favorite place for sandwiches.
    There's another place on Lincoln Blvd. in Venice called The Great Western Steak and Hoagie Company. Really dumpy looking place. It used to be shaped like a hot dog, but over the years the hot dog extending outside the ends of the bun have broken off. Their sign says: "It's 2,500 miles to Philly, Eat Here." Place has been there forever.

    All of these mustard endorsements are making me doubt pretzels all together. Cheese all the way. And, while I'm at it, here's a middle finger to the mustard-instead-of-ketchup people. Yeah, I said it.

    No, I'd like to restrict myself to buying pizza from Philly, NJ or NY, but I live a long way from there, and the GF forces me to eat bad California pizza quite often.
    The guy I referred to in the anecdote above, however, bills his sandwich as a 'Philly cheesesteak,' yet he has never actually had a cheesesteak in the home of the cheesesteak. That was my beef with him.
    He's serving chunks of tri-tip on a bun with cheese instead of slices of rib-eye chopped on the griddle.
    As I mentioned, it's a good sandwich, but calling it a cheesesteak is a misnomer.

    You are obviously a cretin, but we feel pity for you, not scorn.
