Pretzel rolls have become an increasingly popular alternative for hamburgers and other types of sandwiches in recent years. But I had never heard of one being used for a cheesesteak until seeing a positive review for Jay’s Steak & Hoagie Joint of Langhorne, PA, which specializes in them. After several days of indecisiveness between goingContinue reading “A Cheesesteak Change of Pace”

Positive Trend in a Cheesesteak Hot Spot
There are various hot spots around the Philadelphia region where multiple steak shops with strong followings reside within a relatively small radius. One of the hottest right now is unquestionably an area that starts in far Northeast Philly, just across the city line from Bucks County, and works its way north and west into Feasterville-TrevoseContinue reading “Positive Trend in a Cheesesteak Hot Spot”
Lunch at One of the Country’s Oldest Inns
Sunday was a near-perfect day. So it was a stroke of good luck that my wife and I had plans to meet with old friends for lunch at an ideal spot to take advantage of the beautiful weather. Just a week after visiting Loretta’s Cafe in Bristol, PA, where I tried one of the PhillyContinue reading “Lunch at One of the Country’s Oldest Inns”
Trying the Philly Region’s Hot New Cheesesteak
I’ve mentioned many times that I regularly check in on Facebook’s cheesesteak boards for tips on where to find good ones. Since I began doing that in 2021 there has been a distinct pattern of a new steak shop – or at least new to the attention of most of the boards’ members – creatingContinue reading “Trying the Philly Region’s Hot New Cheesesteak”
Curly’s: Legendary for Ultra-Cheesy Steaks
My tour of the cheesesteak purveyors that made my top ten last year continued with a visit to Curly’s Creations in Levittown, PA. They’ve already gained legendary status for their steaks in spite of opening just a few years ago. In fact, when I first joined Facebook’s largest cheesesteak group in 2021, Curly’s was unquestionably theContinue reading “Curly’s: Legendary for Ultra-Cheesy Steaks”
Another Cheesesteak and Roast Pork Combo
After threatening to do so for the past couple weeks, I finally began revisiting the cheesesteak purveyors that made my top ten list last year. My intent is to put out a revised list that will also be expanded to a top 20 later this year. While I’m continuing to try new steaks, I alsoContinue reading “Another Cheesesteak and Roast Pork Combo”
Two Great Sandwiches – One Great Place
It’s always exhilarating to be blown away by a sandwich that I’m trying for the first time. Saturday’s lunch outing with my wife and in-laws was a true rarity in that I sampled two amazing sandwiches, both at Giacomo’s Italian Market in Quakertown, PA, which is in northwestern Bucks County – placing it just insideContinue reading “Two Great Sandwiches – One Great Place”
The Barbecue Triangle of Philly’s Northern ‘Burbs
It wasn’t that many years ago that the Philadelphia region was virtually a barren wasteland when it came to barbecue that could pass for authentic in the South. The situation has shown signs of slow improvement over the past decade or so. But the pace seems to be picking up based on my experiences inContinue reading “The Barbecue Triangle of Philly’s Northern ‘Burbs”
Jersey Shore Staple Brings their Steaks to Bucks
This isn’t the first time I’ve pointed out that plans don’t always come to fruition; and it probably won’t be the last. At the end of my last post I stated an intention to begin a series of revisits to all of the steak shops that made my top ten list last year in preparationContinue reading “Jersey Shore Staple Brings their Steaks to Bucks”
It’s Good To Have Options
The title of this post is a line my wife and I have used with each other for years when apt circumstances arise. But it could also work to describe the experience of ordering a cheesesteak at Trev’s Philly Steaks of Feasterville, PA. While there has been an unmistakable trend of steak purveyors adding additionalContinue reading “It’s Good To Have Options”
