A Homemade Cheesesteak Is a Thing of Beauty
When I was working a job in Ridley, PA - a bedroom community of Philly - there was a sandwich shop on every block, sometimes two, going down the main drag.
I finally settled on a favorite shop when the owner, upon finding out I was from the Southwestern US, started making my sandwiches with jalapeno peppers instead of green bell peppers. Man, they were good! It has taken me years to find a place that makes the cheesesteak sandwiches similar to those little shops in Philly. I've found that any place which boasts they make "authentic Philly cheesesteaks" really has no clue what they are doing, and are depending on the public to be more ignorant than they are. In Albuquerque, the closest you can get is a little sandwich shop near the University calld, "DG's Sandwiches". They come damned close, but don't quite reach perfection. Philly has a lock on making those sandwiches just right. Quote:

I was born in Philly,(Hahnemann Hospital) raised right outside of Philly in Lower Bucks County. I'm in S.W. Florida now. 1400? miles away. There's a man in the next town with a restaurant called The Philly Connection. Every morning, on the first flight from Philly, there's a load of 'Amoroso Rolls', fresh, 2.5 hours out of the oven. That's what makes the sandwich. During 'season, can't get near the place. Oh yeah. They also serve 'Scrapple' for breakfast. It's a 45 mile round trip for me. Any closer and I'd look like 500's avatar.
