I'll say, that I understand your position, but I put more weight into Bourdain's opinions more than most. Definitely will have to check this one off the box sooner rather than later.
August 26, 20223 yr I remember, too, that last time I was out late night at Oregon steaks recently, there were some people (I think it might've even been employees in the vicinity, either behind the counter or off-the-clock), and they were talking to each other's about Donkey's being legit.
October 26, 20223 yr Was in Center City last week and wanted to pick places in walking distance to different places we were visiting. Campo's - I took the fam to Independence Hall and other historical stuff around that area so it was on the way. Plus it has a gluten-free bun so my wife was able to have a cheesesteak. A lot of times a gluten-free bun on a burger or sandwich isn't very good, she liked this though. Joe's Pizza Philly (16th & Sansom)- I had it last time I was there for work in 2018 and went back. Co-workers who live or work nearby also agreed it's a good place, one person said it's their go-to spot. Pizza and sandwiches were good.

November 4, 20222 yr Anybody else out there ever repurpose day old leftover steak sandwiches in the fridge? I was never big on cheese, and it's much easier to do w a plain steak. Used to cut up some fresh garlic and on occasion slice up banana pepper or hot pepper and sautee in a hot pan with a little olive oil, maybe fry up some extra diced onions first and caramelize them first to add in. The leftover steak came out really nice after being sauteed with the fresh garlic and other ingredients. The roll was a little trickier, but somehow we managed by putting in the toaster over and letting it crisp up. Not sure if I mentioned earlier in the thread, but there was this place in the 80's on Samson St. called the Japanese Sukiyaki steak house. There was this mean Japanese guy with his mousy wife - and they would sautee up a mixture of chopped up steak with Japanese veggies on a grill with sukiyaki sauce and then put it on an Amoroso roll. Definitely one of the more memorable steak sandwiches. Was excellent.

Definitely one of the more memorable steak sandwiches. Was excellent. I have, but I usually just keep the sandwich all together, then to warm it up, wrap it in foil and stick it in the oven at like 350-375. Don't preheat, just put the sandwich in when you turn the oven on, and wait like 20-25 minutes, depending on how fast your oven heats. Then, unwrap it and put it on the top rack for an additional 7 minutes or so to take the sog out of the roll. It'll be tasty.

You were right, dude! Thanks for the tip! I got regular wiz wit, gf got wit mushroom. Good stuff!

The steak was top-notch. I got an extra cooper wit. Seeded soft roll had good texture, steak was flavorful and cut but not completely chopped to ****. Cheese was mixed in well and with good proportion to the meat. Best of all was the value: Standard price for their cheesesteak was $9.25, and it was filling. Looked like they had good hoagies too. Any place that mixes the cheese in with the beef is trying to hide the poor quality of the beef, IMO.

I've only ever had 'steak and cheese', never a true Cheesesteak. The best one that I ever had was LONG ago, in the mid to late 80's. In Maryland, at a mom and pop sort of shop at a mall that I worked at (in a theater). I wish I knew how they made them because they were SO good. They're long gone now though.
November 7, 20231 yr when the owner of angelo's comes to your tailgate and eats not one, but two of your tailgate's cheesesteaks, you know they are pretty good.
