[Urbane Guerrilla]

My late boss grew up in Allentown PA, and was choosy about his Philly cheese steaks. He felt himself blessed working around Ventura County CA, though: some transplanted Philadelphians run a chain of about five variegated stores scattered through the county called "The Great Central Steak & Hoagie." For his money, the GCS&H in Santa Paula CA was the best of the lot: meat's right, cheese is provolone (Cheese Whiz?? Jayzus.), rolls are white bread, which is pretty thin stuff to my palate, onions and peppers as desired, and all the pickled pepperoncini you can carry. And the french-fry regular order (old-school greasy) is enough taters to glut a stage Irishman.
