Eve's Philly Cheese Steak

Philly cheesesteak grease = nectar of gods

anthony, yer in the same state as cheesesteak central ... i would think that since penn state no doubt has lots of philly students, and that at least some state college restauranteurs would have enough $$$ sense to cater to them ... so it shouldn't be that hard to get a decent cheesesteak out over in state college!

possibilities :
(a) a steak encrusted with fried cheese batter
(b) a steak injected with cheese (y'know, like they do with sausages)
(c) like a cheeseburger, but with steak

and that's coming from an englishman!

Slimm Calhoun - It Ain't Easy

9:00 I'm a call my crew
At 10:00 we're gonna roll on through
I don't know what you gonna do
But whatever you do hit the block party tonight
All the ladies rollin' up with friends
And don't be late or you won't get in
Party packed from beginning to end
Everybody tell a friend that the block party is tonight

It ain't nothin' like havin' a party on the block
When everybody knows everybody on the block
And everybody on the block come to the party on the block
And when the sun drop, we don't stop
Funny how fast they travel the word
A dozen divas from Philly drove in when they heard
That there's a block party down in West Philly
Come block party with Jeff and Big Willie
Stand back
Everybody come to see the man rap
Jeff's got it *scratch* jam packed
Everybody hands in the air
Just get your hands in the air
Yo Philly (that's where the party is at)
D.C. y'all (that's where the party is at)
A-T-L (that's where the party is at)
West Philly (that's where the party is at)
Midwest y'all (that's where the party is at)
Dirty south now (that's where the party is at)
I can't hear y'all (that's where the party is at)
Wherever we at (that's where the party is at)

9:00 I'm a call my crew

Party packed from beginning to end
Everybody tell a friend that the block party is tonight

Yo and when the sun drops
Back in Philly that don't mean that the fun stops
All it means is that it's time to turn the lights on
All day long I've been plotting on this nice joint
10:00 now Jeff is tryin' to hype me
Would the Fresh Prince come up to the mic please
Hear the crowd cheer brought a little smile out
Mic check 1-2 I'm about to while out
I know he's old but maybe there's a slight chance
I can get my brother hype make him break dance
Naw maybe not let me get the crowd jumpin'
Let me hit them with the brand new funk or somethin'
I'm like Rob Base I wanna rock right now
Y'all know who rock the block right now
All we need is a mic and a beat
And a couple of speakers and some turntables out in the street
Come on

9:00 I'm a call my crew
At 10:00 we're gonna roll on through
I don't know what you gonna do
But whatever you do hit the block party tonight

Party packed from beginning to end

seems to have a good definition of a proper cheese steak. couldn't locate the clavin trillin screed, but it's well worth reading. as is the piece a philly papper did last year, with the food writer and a number of high school students/aspiring food writers did an assesment of philly's best cheese steaks.

and i hate pats!

Jim's on the other hand ... look out.

fun fact: Sottini's is located only a block east of the current world headquarters of AMG, and yet i never ate there even when I worked at at AMG.

*runs away*

it's a hoagie!!!

yeah, and i prefer jim's, too.

a former roommate of mine used to live like 2 blocks away from both pat's and geno's. one summer night i crashed on her couch. she had no air conditioning. so basically I laid there, sweating and slowly going insane from the sound of 800 drunken speeding morons heading back into Jersey in souped-up Hemis, crotch rockets, whatever might make the loudest motorrific combustion noise whatsoever, to get a steak on the way home. this noise starts at around 5pm and ends at 8am. i wish i would have recorded it.

Also apparently there's a good place over on Fairview and Wilson here in Costa Mesa. Hm...

also, that washington post writer needs to be shot for insinuating that cheesesteaks are served with fucking cheez-whiz.

oh my lovely cheesesteak, how the mighty have fallen.

geno's has always sucked and this is turning out to be a good piece of publicity for reactionaries who like shitty cheesesteaks. additionally, it just so happens that danie1 fau1kner is a fine cheesesteak salesman.

The funny thing is, there are only about six words you're allowed to use in ordering there, and many of them aren't exactly standard English: wit', wiz, gravy (meaning tomato sauce).

But Steaks On South (which is actually damn good, if overpriced) just put up a big sign "Order In Any Language You Want, We Will Serve You With Brotherly Love". (Of course, they probably won't get the order right if you use Amharic or Magyar, but it's the thought that counts, I'm sure . . . )

someone please photoshop the rotting corpse of d4ni3l f4ulkn3r into a genos cheesesteak, OK PLZ THX.

i know there's people with a better grasp of the italian language than myself; perhaps they can tell me what the word for "cheesesteak" is? right now i suppose "voglio un panino" would work.

But Steaks On South (which is actually damn good, if overpriced) just put up a big sign "Order In Any Language You Want, We Will Serve You With Brotherly Love".

tony luke's has a similar sign.

such a shame that i like d'alessandro's best!
