It’s only been a little over a month since I wrote about the magnificent Italian hoagie I had from A Cut Above Deli in the western Philly suburb of Newtown Square, PA. As part of that post, I mentioned a desire to return there soon to try one of their hot sandwiches. And in theContinue reading “Back to A Cut Above Deli for a Roast Pork Italiano”

Getting My Hash On
I can’t remember exactly when I became a fan of corned beef hash. It was probably the first time I had a good made-from-scratch version of it, and I was well into my adulthood when that happened. It may have been on one of our roadfood themed trips during my early married years. Whenever itContinue reading “Getting My Hash On”
Lunch at an Old-School Pizzeria and Steak Shop
My friend Joe was back in the area to visit family and asked if I was free for lunch Saturday. It was an offer I couldn’t refuse and we set about determining where to go. As Broomall, PA is centrally located between my home and where he’d be, we looked at a couple restaurants thereContinue reading “Lunch at an Old-School Pizzeria and Steak Shop”
Family Meal at a Popular Suburban Italian Spot
While Center City and its adjoining neighborhoods are still the Philadelphia region’s lead dining destination in terms of depth of quality, it’s also much easier to find good restaurants in outlying sections of both the city and suburbs than it used to be. My wife and I took advantage of that – or so weContinue reading “Family Meal at a Popular Suburban Italian Spot”
An Italian Hoagie with Staying Power
I’ve devoted a disproportionate amount of posts to sandwiches. While most of those have been about cheesesteaks, I’ve also written on corned beef, pastrami, meatball, roast pork and roast beef sandwiches. But with the exception of including a single shot of one I had eaten before starting this blog in a post on local mealsContinue reading “An Italian Hoagie with Staying Power”
Two More Hamburgers Near Me to Ring In 2023
It should come as no surprise that my first post of last year was about a cheesesteak. But in keeping with my more recent efforts to both diversify what I eat and write about and get back to one of the key foods that I neglected while downing all those steaks, I’m kicking off 2023Continue reading “Two More Hamburgers Near Me to Ring In 2023”
My Other Nearby Go-To Place for a Cheesesteak
My last post was about Cocco’s in Primos, one of the two purveyors of cheesesteaks near me that I turn to when craving one too badly to wait until my next planned outing. I concluded by mentioning an intent to revisit the other one – Johnny Paisano’s – in the near future. It happened aContinue reading “My Other Nearby Go-To Place for a Cheesesteak”
Another Great Under the Radar Cheesesteak
I’m fortunate to live close enough to a pair of places that are purveyors of top-flight cheesesteaks to always be able to get a good one on short notice when the craving strikes. While neither quite made my Top 10 list, they both put out a consistently stellar product. One is Johnny Paisano’s of Springfield,Continue reading “Another Great Under the Radar Cheesesteak”
Getting Off the Burger Schneid at Crisp Chik’n
It wasn’t that long ago that I mentioned a desire to get back into eating more burgers after a year of placing my hot sandwich focus almost exclusively on cheesesteaks. I’ve had a few since then, but they’ve been average at best. It had been a long time since I’ve enjoyed a really good hamburgerContinue reading “Getting Off the Burger Schneid at Crisp Chik’n”
Provincial Pork Shoulder at Peking Media
Our friends Andy and Stacy were in the Philly region for the weekend. That inevitably meant we’d be eating Chinese food at some point between Friday night and Sunday afternoon. It turned out to be dinner Saturday night at Peking Media, a stylish restaurant I hadn’t visited since it changed ownership and its name aContinue reading “Provincial Pork Shoulder at Peking Media”
