Taste of Philly

So I am pleased to announce I am back to being a fan of this location again.  Trying to decide on a quick lunch I figured it had been a month so lets give it a shot.  That and Mom was wanting to try it.

I called and placed an order.  On the second ring the phone was answered.  Guess the phone situation has been fixed (1Star)

I made my order, large regular with Extra Onions.  10-15 for pickup, yep that's normal.  

Pulled into the parking lot as I was only like 6 blocks away when I ordered and waited a bit before going in.  

A nice young lady was in the window at the grill and immediately told me she would be right with me. (1Star) I let her know I was picking up and order and it appears she was just finishing it up.  Good timing on my part I guess.

She had it bagged up in a jiffy and came out so I could pay, she was plesant and quickly rang me up.  I could tell immediately upon lifting the bag that it was quite possibly back to the quality I had been used to.  You can tell how much meat is in most sandwhiches just by lifting them, even in the bag site unseen.  This was a bag with a bit of weight to it.  Now we are getting somewhere!

I came home and quickly unwrapped it to see if I was right.  I live close enough that it was stll pipping hot when I unwrapped it.  I was very excited to see that the quality that I had loved had returned to my beloved cheesesteak.  

I could see the extra oinions waiving to me from beneith the foil as I lifted it. There was a little steam even and I could see that juicy steak goodness on the wrapping.  This was again a sandwhich that would make you do the "Hunch".  (2Stars)

For those who don't know what that is.  It's when it's got so much juice in it from the meat and things that you have to hunch over with your elbows high to eat it.  This "hunch" keeps the juice from running down your arms.  

This made me again a happy cheesesteak eatin girl.  This is the closest thing you can get in my opionion to the streets that made this sandwhich famous.   I have tried several others around town and I am always open to suggestion, but for me this is it.

Top notch Philly Cheese Steaks. Fresh. Not fast food. Gotta wait a few while they cook it up fresh. Friendly folks. And then they wrap it up in butcher paper just like the old days. Specialty cane sugar sodas available.

Tastes good but very greasy.
