Hi Mike,

Geno's, Pat's, Tony Luke's - or - did you get a GOOD Philly cheesesteak?

Not kidding...those places serve up slop, IMHO.

Oh, and to our newest member, please let us know your cheesesteak experiences, too.

Best regards,

Eric

Tom,

Unfortunately, I haven't had any cheesesteaks from Roxborough. I lived in South Philly for quite a few years, though, and got spoiled with the incredible assortment of restaurants there.

My favorite cheesesteak was from Sal's, which was about 100 feet off the corner of 2nd & Wolf. Tiny little hole-in-the-wall...great food.

I also have a baseball themed story to tell which involves food. My stepmother lived on Juniper Street, right next door to Oregon Steaks. And my dad had a Sunday Season Ticket plan with the Phillies when I was growing up.

He and I went to 13 Sunday games every season, from 1980 - 1986. Since Juniper & Oregon was within walking distance to Veterans Stadium, we would "perambulate" to the ballpark from my stepmother's house.

Very early during this period, I learned that the food at Oregon Steaks was much better than the food at the Vet. I quickly gravitated toward an Italian Hoagie (dry, no oil, no mayo) and a pizza roll.

As South Philly was paid a visit, by my father and I, for more than just Phillies games, I also learned that Oregon Steaks also served up a great cheesesteak. However, it just didn't make sense to me to try eating one while walking down Broad Street towards the Vet (and, back then, the Navy Yard.)

Damn, I am suddenly hungry. I wonder why.

Happy collecting. Please pardon me while I go visit the kitchen.

Best regards,

Eric

Eric, I went to a Dead Show at the Spectrum on 05/13/78. I spent the night with some local deadheads at a row house some where in Philly. On the way out of town, the next day, we stopped at a place, the name of which is either unknown to me or lost to the ravages of time. I do remember that that Cheese Steak set me up just right for the drive to the next show, that night at the Providence Civic Center. It is the steak sub that all others have been measured against since.


I have only been in and out of the Philly airport many times since. My folks live in South Jersey.
