Shitty American Food (AKA for the FAO of Zackster)
Go down a storm when you are shitfaced.
Do they do pies / slices sans cheese?
Ed: Oi, I’ll ‘ave me a giant slice, sans cheese.
Ed 15 min later:
rhouses Hot take, but the philly cheese steak sandwich is overrated AF
Well then you’ve never had a good one. Took the bus through a quite rough area of Philly to try Dalessandro’s on a recommendation. Won’t win any beauty contests but a damn good sandwich.
Thinly sliced rib eye, grilled onions, and cheese on a roll? What’s not to love?
[Cue Ed saying, “the cheese” because everything is about Ed]
What are the cheese offerings in the US, can you get real cheese?
Still can’t get over being offered La Piat D’Or by the somellier while eating in a ‘top testaurant’ in the US. Neanderthals.
We have excellent cheese. Shame we can’t get imported raw milk cheeses like Mont D’or due to antiquated listeria concerns, but local offerings are solid. I would put the best Quebec cheddar and Northern California chevre against anything from around the globe.
Not that any of it goes on a Philly. Nor should it.
Was out on Chicago Deep Dish until I was brought to a spot in Berkeley. Absolutely tremendous. Cornmeal crust holds the thing together and gives a lovely texture. Different style, obviously, but I now have love for it. As with most foods, IMO, bad usually comes down to execution.
jonattonyeah I’ve eaten way too much legitimate bulgogi to know the onion/beef/wizz overload in a philly cheesesteak is disgusting.
Forget the 7-11 processed nacho cheese, my main issue is the amount the beef and the lack of seasoning.
