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”

Enjoying a Rare Hoagie from a Delco Italian Deli
The cheesesteak may be Philadelphia’s signature sandwich, but the region also has an abundance of other great long-roll offerings, including roast pork, chicken cutlets and hoagies. I don’t eat nearly as many of the latter as I used to – in part because I only have so many large sandwiches in me during any givenContinue reading “Enjoying a Rare Hoagie from a Delco Italian Deli”
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”
Venturing Out for Chinese
After five days of being stuck at home following a major snow and ice storm and sub-freezing temperatures that prevented any meltage, I finally ventured out for lunch with my friend, Brenda, on a recent Friday afternoon. We had initially planned on visiting a bakery and sandwich shop in South Philadelphia, but reports of theContinue reading “Venturing Out for Chinese”
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”
A Delightful Italian Lunch in Delco
My friend and former colleague, Brenda, and I recently got together for one of our periodic lunches. While I usually pick the restaurant, she asked if I’d be interested in checking out a Delaware County Italian restaurant that is a relatively short drive from both of us and I agreed after checking out their menuContinue reading “A Delightful Italian Lunch in Delco”
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”
Brisket with a Middle Eastern Accent
While Middle-Eastern has never been among my favorite cuisines, I do crave it every once in a while. One such instance occurred earlier this month, and a little online research led me in the direction of Desert Rose in Media, Pennsylvania. Media is a short ride from us, so we eat in its downtown, whichContinue reading “Brisket with a Middle Eastern Accent”
Not a Lunch for Carb Counters
In the summer of 2023 I posted about a pair of fantastic bakeries in the Philly region – K’Far Cafe in Center City and Ardour Bakery and Coffee in Ridley Park. It took much longer than anticipated for me to return to Ardour given its relative proximity to where I live, but it finally happenedContinue reading “Not a Lunch for Carb Counters”
Finding a New Go-to Cheesesteak in My Area
It’s been at least a couple years since the two steak shops that had been my go-to spots when I craved a cheesesteak and wanted to stay close to home took turns for the worse. One moved further from where I live and no longer qualified for a quick pick-up on short notice, while theContinue reading “Finding a New Go-to Cheesesteak in My Area”
