Two cheesesteak purveyors in West Chester, Pennsylvania, made my top 20 list – Steaks, which is in the five slot, and Lorenzo’s Steaks and Hoagies at number 15. As part of the preparation for putting out a revised list, I headed toward West Chester with the intention of visiting one of the two along withContinue reading “Steaks and Pizza of West Chester, PA”

Trying a Brand New Steak Shop in Media, PA
The plan for this week’s post had been to revisit one of the cheesesteak purveyors on my top 20 list. But it came to my attention a couple weeks ago that a new steak shop was about to open in Media, Pennsylvania, where my wife and I eat fairly regularly. So I called an audibleContinue reading “Trying a Brand New Steak Shop in Media, PA”
Returning to South Philly for One with Whiz
Those of you who have followed my cheesesteak posts know that I nearly always order them with Cooper Sharp cheese – or American at the dwindling number of steak shops that don’t offer Cooper. But that wasn’t always the case. Cooper Sharp has only become popular on cheesesteaks in recent years. Prior to then –Continue reading “Returning to South Philly for One with Whiz”
Succulent Ribeye at a South Philly Steak Shop
I’ve mentioned in a couple recent posts that in addition to hitting as many new steak shops as possible, I’ve begun the process of revisiting the ones that are in my top 20 with an eye toward eventually putting out a new list. My most recent cheesesteak outing took me to South Philadelphia’s Nipotina, whichContinue reading “Succulent Ribeye at a South Philly Steak Shop”
Trying a Pair at a Bucks County Steak Shop
In my last cheesesteak post I referred to the list I keep of restaurants I’d like to get to at some point. Another sandwich shop that had been on it for a fairly long time is Philly Pete’s Eats in Warrington, Pennsylvania. My reason for procrastinating in this case was the long rebranding process they’veContinue reading “Trying a Pair at a Bucks County Steak Shop”
New Pizza and Steak Shop Earns High Marks
As I’ve alluded to periodically, I keep a list of steak shops, pizzerias and other restaurants that I plan on visiting and posting about at some future point. One of the places that’s been on that list for a fairly long time is Gentili’s Pizza and Steaks of Exton, Pennsylvania. Exton is a bit ofContinue reading “New Pizza and Steak Shop Earns High Marks”
Reevaluating a Legendary Steak Shop
As I mentioned at the bottom of last week’s post, the people at Michelin recently put out new lists of restaurants in Philadelphia that have been awarded coveted stars and given special Bib Gourmand citations. I inadvertently overlooked Del Rossi’s, which was on the latter list in addition to Angelo’s Pizzeria and D’Alessandro’s. Both Angelo’sContinue reading “Reevaluating a Legendary Steak Shop”
Cheesesteak and Pizza Outing Cut in Half
Back in the spring of last year, I posted on what was then the hottest purveyor of cheesesteaks in the Philly region – Johnny’s Pizza of Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania. The steak I had there was good enough for me to rank it in the upper half of my top twenty list. Yet in light ofContinue reading “Cheesesteak and Pizza Outing Cut in Half”
Heading to South Jersey for a Steak and Burger
New cheesesteak shops open in the Philadelphia region with such frequency nowadays that it’s virtually impossible for me to keep up with all of them. One that slipped my notice until a friend invited me to meet him there for lunch last week was The Raging Bull in Pennsauken, New Jersey, which is only aContinue reading “Heading to South Jersey for a Steak and Burger”
Big Changes at a Legendary Cheesesteak Stand
In an effort to keep my list of the Philadelphia region’s top 20 cheesesteaks up to date, I’ve begun what will likely be a long process of revisiting the steak shops on it. My latest stop was at the renowned South Philly stand that provided the cheesesteak in the cover shot at the top ofContinue reading “Big Changes at a Legendary Cheesesteak Stand”
