We were given cheese as our assigned food. Not wanting to fly with a bunch of expensive cheese, we figured we'd find some good cheese closer to the the vineyard where the party was being held. And we were right!

We stumbled onto Raymond & Co. Cheesemongers in Glen Ellen. Mr. Raymond gave us a wonderful cheese education and the tasting was pure heaven. If you're ever in need of cheese, I highly recommend Raymond & Co.

From appetizers to dessert, the food at the party was truly amazing. [/hijack]

OK, Ill second...or third The Philadelphian in Sandy. Pretty good steaks (for Utah). Nice fresh rolls and pretty good fries. Definitely a dump, but I think thats a qualifier for cheesesteak joints.

If I'm in Philly, Tony Luke's is always my first stop. Roast pork Italian with sharp and broccoli rob is probably the best sandwich ever created. When I lived in Baltimore I was always looking for an excuse to get up to Philthy to go to Tony Luke's.

Sage on 300 south and 500 East makes a great Veggie cheese steak with portabella mushrooms piled with caramelized onions, bell peppers, roasted tomatoes and a distinctive vegetarian "cheeze" sauce
ducks, runs......

^^^ In south Philly (the italian neighborhood section of the city, where Pats, and Genos are) they'd probably consider breaking your kneecaps for using words like these:
Veggie cheese steak, caramelized onions, roasted tomatoes, vegetarian "cheeze" sauce.

Quality steak sandwiches are found at Jim's at 4th and South or for the very best, Dalesandro's on Henry Ave.

For the record, Jim's has shipped pretty much everywhere in the lower 48

i agree--i always hated pat's & gino's...could never figure out what the fuss was all about other than the fact that everyone rated them 'the best', so people went along with it.

i'll give you major props for jim's, but i always seemed to get 'em at a favorite truck parked near campus in west phillay.

**shmerham** · 10-13-2006, 06:02 PM

If provlone is to cheesesteaks, as deep dish is to pizza; then I don't respect myself, but that's the way I am. Love 'em with the provlone, not a fan of the wizz.

No skiing , but damn good mtn biking within city limits.

Yeah, Fairmount park.

It's unfortunate but there are parts that I now wouldn't enter unless I was packing at least bear spray.

If it's my home you speak of, it'll be back to the land of cheese steaks, thankyou! Philly, Born and raised. Actually NorthWest towards K of P

Other Philly Notables not mentioned and very surprised they weren't:
1. Porkroll
2. Macaroons
3. Soft Pretzels
4. PFF (philly folk fest)

And something I've been feining from New England and maybe deserving of it's own thread...a red wiener from Flo's Hot Dog Stand!

**SLCFreshies** · 10-19-2006, 01:18 PM

I lived in Philly for a while. I have not found a good cheesesteak outside of Philly--NONE. Part of it is because of the buns...no one can make buns as good as Amorosos.

I've been to Moochies, and it's not bad. The bun is too soft and cold, and the cheese isn't melted enough. I actually cringed when I watched the cook make it. The proper way to make it is to either put the cheese on the meat while it's on the grill or put a cheese-lined bun upside-down on the grill over the meat. You need to get the cheese all melted in there. Warming the bun is a plus too. At Moochies, they cooked the meat first, then just plopped it into a cheese-lined bun, and then served it immediately. NONONO!

I'd like mine Provolone/with/salt and pepper.

One of my friends used to love mayo in his steak. I could never get over that psychological hurdle, but he insisted it made the steaks SUPER-creamy.

I miss cheesesteaks.

Hey Professor, have you calmed your craving yet?

Apparently, a friend of the family has the “ Best Philly Cheesesteak in Utah ”

Also, there is (or was 6 years ago) a place at about 175 South Main St that has good cheese steaks. You’ll notice I left out the “Philly” to appease the Philadelphian psychos. They had good subs all around and their breakfast sandwich with roast beef and A1 were incredible.

Nice list of notables there. Pretzels? Pretzels isnt a notable. Macaroons? You serious? Philadelphia is famous for Ben Franklin...Liberty Bell...chronic losing...and Macafuckinroons? No offense to any Philadelphians

I don't think that exists anymore. Unless the "cheesteaks" are being served at Curry in a Hurry, or Bambara.

Every fucking place in Boston does it this way. It sucks.

Try this place out. I am by no means an expert on philly cheese steaks but I think it would be worth your while to check these guys out. The place is called Kyle's and it's just a grease pit that caters to the business lunch crowd. In fact, it's in the same business complex as my shop... so I eat there often. They have good food and as StormRider posted, claim to have the best one in Utah.

BY FAR THE BEST PHILLY CHEESESTEAK I HAVE EVER HAD!

**Professor** · 11-08-2006, 01:55 PM

Sorry, I guess I missed all the new info while I was in Montana. Might have to drive to Sandy and go to the Philadelphian and Kyles. The only proper way to do a taste test is back to back

So just so everyone knows. Kyle left his restaurant that was "Kyles". He will now be making his cheesesteaks at the "Piper Down". Guess how I found out? I went to what I thought was "Kyles" last Friday. It is now "Maurices" and guess what else? Yup, their cheesesteak was "no bueno". The service and their fries rocked though. So not a total loss. I just wish that the "Philadelphian" had won the coin toss. Nothing worse than an "unsatisfying" cheesesteak experience
