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”

Enjoying a Perfect Summer Afternoon
The weather was about as ideal as one could wish for on a recent Saturday afternoon when my wife and I met a group of old friends with whom we were way overdue for a visit. To make matters even better, the setting was one of the Philly region’s best spots for such an occasionContinue reading “Enjoying a Perfect Summer Afternoon”
Expanding on the Cheesesteak Theme
It’s been a few months since my last cheesesteak post, so I already felt due for one when I came across an online rave for the steaks at Antica Pizza Co. of Warrington, Pennsylvania. That was all the enticement I needed to head north to Bucks County and check them out along with friends JohnContinue reading “Expanding on the Cheesesteak Theme”
Top 20 Cheesesteaks in the Philly Region
This list is the culmination of over two years of eating at least one cheesesteak just about every week. While it wouldn’t have been possible for me to make a serious attempt at trying every steak in the Philly region, I did my best to get to all of the places that are known toContinue reading “Top 20 Cheesesteaks in the Philly Region”
An Unlikely Place for an Elite Cheesesteak
Alessio’s Seafood Grille of Warrington, PA, doesn’t look anything like the sandwich shops and pizzerias I visit for the vast majority of the cheesesteaks I post about here. I’ve noticed it plenty of times while driving by – in part because it stands out from the crowd on busy Route 611 by having an unusuallyContinue reading “An Unlikely Place for an Elite Cheesesteak”
The Philly Region’s Best Barbecue
I somehow managed to get through the entire spring and first month of summer without having any barbecue. But that drought was happily put to rest Friday when friends John and Rob joined me for lunch at Holy Que Smokehouse in Lahaska, Pennsylvania. This was my second visit to Holy Que. The first made aContinue reading “The Philly Region’s Best Barbecue”
Heading To Doylestown, PA, for Steak and Pie
Many of the steaks I’ve posted about came to my attention via the cheesesteak groups on Facebook. There were also some that were either famous enough for me to already know of their existence or that happened to be close to where I live or in a spot I pass by regularly. But every onceContinue reading “Heading To Doylestown, PA, for Steak and Pie”
Schlepping to The Borscht Belt for Pastrami and Corned Beef
It’s been a while since I’ve written about Jewish deli. That’s at least partially because I’ve been allowing my craving for it to build in anticipation of the arrival of a new delicatessen in suburban Bucks County. The Borscht Belt was situated in Stockton, New Jersey, for a couple years, but moved south – intoContinue reading “Schlepping to The Borscht Belt for Pastrami and Corned Beef”
A Pair of Steak Shops That Do More With Less
It was only last month that I referred to an area in Philadelphia’s northern suburbs that runs through Southampton, Feasterville-Trevose, and a sliver of far Northeast Philly as a cheesesteak hot spot. There are a half-dozen steak shops within about 15 minutes of each other that all receive raves – albeit with varying degrees ofContinue reading “A Pair of Steak Shops That Do More With Less”
Going Home to My First Pizza
The earliest memories I have of eating pizza – when I was very young in the late 60s – are set at Longhitano’s, a Southampton, PA, pizzeria that my parents and I frequented during our first few years living in that Bucks County town. The address they occupied in those days has passed to aContinue reading “Going Home to My First Pizza”
