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”
My Latest Cheesesteak – and Pizza for the Big Game
The slow ice and snow melting process and the impact it had on driving and especially parking kept me relatively close to home during late January and early February. For this week’s post, I checked out out Prime Steaks of Glenolden, Pennsylvania, which is only 10-15 minutes from me. The cold may have impacted myContinue reading “My Latest Cheesesteak – and Pizza for the Big Game”
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”
Northeast Philly’s Hottest Steak and Pizza Shop
Maintaining this blog requires me to keep up with the hottest new purveyors of cheesesteaks in the Philly region. One that has been getting an increasing amount of attention and raves lately is La Nova Pizza and Steak, which opened about a year ago and sits on Frankford Avenue – or US-13 – in NortheastContinue reading “Northeast Philly’s Hottest Steak and Pizza Shop”
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”
A Taste of the Midwest in South Philly
While the emphasis of this blog is on cheesesteaks, I’ve also made my fondness for the sort of smashed burgers that used to primarily be prevalent in the Midwest known here on several occasions. Thankfully, they are now easier to find all over the country and an increasing number of spots in the Philly regionContinue reading “A Taste of the Midwest in South Philly”
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”
