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”

Does the Prince Still Reign?
Last week I began the months-long process of revisiting all of the cheesesteak shops that made my top ten in 2022. It didn’t take long to move on to another one. Unrelated circumstances led me to drive through the section of Northeast Philly that is home to the original Steve’s Prince of Steaks late TuesdayContinue reading “Does the Prince Still Reign?”
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”
Back to A Cut Above Deli for a Roast Pork Italiano
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”
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”
Lil’ Nick’s Deli: Moving On to the Roast Pork Italiano
After two-plus weeks on a light diet I was extremely excited about eating something I could blog about Thursday. While I still wasn’t quite ready to dive into a cheesesteak, there is another sandwich with a large following in the Philly area on which I’ve been wanting to write, and this seemed like the perfectContinue reading “Lil’ Nick’s Deli: Moving On to the Roast Pork Italiano”
Why Not?: The Duck Cheesesteak
In a few of my earlier posts, I mentioned grabbing something to eat while on the way to visit my father. I drive a little less than an hour to see him each week, and while I don’t always mix a meal into the outing, it’s become fairly common. I need to eat a coupleContinue reading “Why Not?: The Duck Cheesesteak”
Elite Cheesesteaks Made on Four Wheels
I added a note to the bottom of my last post to alert you that I’d be checking out a new sandwich shop that serves a highly touted cheesesteak Tuesday. It turned out I was only partially right about that. Gazzos Steaks of Pottstown, PA, serves those steaks out of a food truck rather thanContinue reading “Elite Cheesesteaks Made on Four Wheels”
Silvio’s of Hatboro and Their Legendary Rolls
Much of the stretch of PA-Rt. 263 – or York Road – that is the main drag in Hatboro, Pennsylvania, still looks like it belongs in the mid to late 20th century more so than the current era. As a child growing up in neighboring Southampton during the late 60s and early 70s, my motherContinue reading “Silvio’s of Hatboro and Their Legendary Rolls”
