Title: Philly's Best not so good (steak sandwich)
Post by: m9hundo on May 29, 2009, 10:02:26 PM
I heard someone rave about this place so I gave it a shot and I gotta say [puke].  The philly cheese steak sandwich at Chili's is Waaaaayyyyy better, the steak is tastier, the mushrooms and bell peppers and onions, delicious.  I like mine with a side of thousand Island dressing for the fries and I dip the sandwich in there.

If you want a good cheese steak, don't go to Philly.  No civilized human being put cheez-whiz on a cheese steak.  South Jersey has much better cheese steaks, especially in the AC area.  It's the AC rolls and the provolone cheese.

Yeah, but if you're in Chicago why would you get a cheese steak when you can get an Italian Beef sandwich?

God, I love those things.

Yeah, Jim's is where the locals go. A girl I used to date was from there. When we went there to visit her family, we ate there. I had never heard of putting spray cheese on a sandwich, but it was DAMN GOOD!

You guys have inspired me to make the drive to Mr. B's today! They don't have Phillies but they do have an amazing hot neba roast beef sammich.

Hot slab of beef right on the slicer. Warm shaved goodnes directly deposited on a griddle toasted bun. With or without the cheese sauce. (with!  ;))

There's a place in eastern Mass that makes 'em this way too. Wish I could remember the name! In the restaurant hey have pics of people holding up their bumper sticker in all corners of the globe including Antarctica. Even one one the space shuttle. Best hot rb I've ever had in my entire life!

Chicago Italian beef > Philli cheese steak

Post by: lauramonster on May 31, 2009, 08:20:27 PM
Italian roast pork w/ broccoli rabe > cheesteak. 

It's not just the cheese that makes philly cheesteaks legendary.  It's the roll that's soft in the middle and has some chew. 

Goomba's on route 309 (just below Hilltown).  The rolls have sesame seeds all the way around.  He uses REAL Sharp Provolone.  Makes their own homemade sopresetta.  roasted long hot peppers.  hoagies can be put in the oven (we call them grinders - and boy do they bring out the flavor of the italin meats & cheeses).  pardon the saliva drool....

they offer sandwiches like:
    da godfather : sopprasotta, fresh mozzarella, roasted peppers & artichoke hearts
    9th streeter: Fried eggplant, Sopprasotta, Fresh mozzarella & roasted peppers
    chicken alla sinatra : sauteed chicken with pesto, sundried tomatoes, imported ham & four cheeses
    chicken supra : sauteed chicken, proscuitto, aged provolone, balsamic vinegar, lettuce, tomato, red onion & mayo
    chicken alla donna : grilled chicken, pepperoni, aged provolone, sun dried tomato & roasted peppers
   
Damn!  they're closed.  Def for tomorrow night's dinner.  They've got killer Spanish fries (peppers, onions cheese & seasonings).  MMMMMM!!!  I can feel my arteries clogging.

I went to college in Philly for 4 years and spent my whole sophomore year trying different cheese steak places.  Phil's is the damn BEST cheesesteak place known to man.  But i will admit Tony Luke's has the best bread.  But for a complete package nothing beats phil's, extra wiz with pls!
