I gave a glowing report on Da Vinci’s Brick Oven Pizzeria of Feasterville, PA, back in January. But while that cheesesteak was fantastic, I regretted not being able to try their pizza. I went alone, leaving me to eat the entire steak. And they don’t sell pizza by the individual slice. It’s a large –Continue reading “Return to Da Vinci’s to Try the Pizza and Revisit their Steak”

Stepping Up My Sunday Gravy Game with Pork Neck Bones
One of the reasons I went with a cheesesteak instead of pasta Saturday at Johnny Paisano’s was my plan to spend Sunday making red gravy with sausage. I tend to make fairly large batches of Sunday Gravy and eat it over pasta on a nearly nightly basis until it’s gone. And I was extra psychedContinue reading “Stepping Up My Sunday Gravy Game with Pork Neck Bones”
Lunch and Bowling for My Wife’s Birthday
I was somewhat surprised when my wife requested that we go bowling and out to lunch for her birthday – at least the bowling part was surprising. That’s an activity I would normally suggest. But when my wife says, “Let’s go bowling, Dude,” I’m not about to refuse; especially on her birthday. So we returnedContinue reading “Lunch and Bowling for My Wife’s Birthday”
LaSpada’s Original Steaks & Hoagies on MacDade Boulevard
I normally plan my cheesesteak outings anywhere from a few days to a week in advance – sometimes longer if a friend is joining me. But I went on a spur of the moment jaunt for a steak today. The chain of events that led to this bout of spontaneity began with the dinner weContinue reading “LaSpada’s Original Steaks & Hoagies on MacDade Boulevard”
A Beast of a Sandwich: Delco’s Original
I’ve posted a few times on Delco Steaks. One of their several locations is only about 10 minutes from me, and they’re very good. But there is another, unrelated place further west in Chadds Ford, Delaware County, PA, called Delco’s Original Steaks & Hoagies. Their steaks get some tremendous raves on Facebook. They also hadContinue reading “A Beast of a Sandwich: Delco’s Original”
A New Old-School Steak Stand in South Philly
South Philadelphia has more classic-looking cheesesteak stands and is more associated with the sandwich than any other part of the city. While most of the well-known steak shops in other neighborhoods, as well as those in the suburbs, have indoor service, South Philly specializes in walk up stands, where customers order at a window whileContinue reading “A New Old-School Steak Stand in South Philly”
The Prince Still Reigns
My last post was on a sandwich known to be loved by The King. Today, I’m moving down the line of succession to the Prince; the simple title used by some devotees of Steve’s Prince of Steaks. I was one of those fans of the Prince for a fairly long time. In fact, their steaksContinue reading “The Prince Still Reigns”
God Bless The King
Elvis Presley was the king of both Rock ‘n Roll and late-night sandwiches. It’s long been well known that his favorite snack was peanut butter and banana sandwiches grilled in copious amounts of butter. This delicacy also happens to be right up my alley, so I make it periodically, including today. I used to imagineContinue reading “God Bless The King”
Smoking Pre-Cooked Ham
Being Jewish, I didn’t eat much ham while growing up. My family didn’t keep kosher – nor do I as an adult. But while we ate bacon and plenty of Chinese food that contained pork, ham just wasn’t on our radar. We are people of the brisket; which includes corned beef and pastrami. I believeContinue reading “Smoking Pre-Cooked Ham”
Semolina Pizzeria of Southampton, PA
As promised in a recent post on my pizza roots, I returned to Semolina Pizzeria in Southampton, Pennsylvania – the town in which I grew up – after finding out the hard way last week that they are closed Tuesdays. My friend, Andy, and I met there for lunch today – a Thursday. It’s aContinue reading “Semolina Pizzeria of Southampton, PA”
