If you understand the subject line, you're permitted to post to this thread.

Granted I'm not a native Philadelphian, but I am from New Jersey and pride myself on having a pretty good knowledge of hoagies and, more importantly, cheesesteaks. I could write a book about this stuff (I just may, if no one else has).

What are your favorites?

I went to CHink's on Torresdale Ave. in the NE today. PHENOMENAL. THe milkshakes looked really good, but I wasn't in the mood for one; that's alright, just another excuse to go back.

I liked the thicker ribeye steak meat they used. Better taste, not greasy like wimpy minute steak meat gets. Rolls were fresh, onions were good - but they don't do mushrooms, which is a major downfall.

Most of all, the atmosphere is classic. Not dirty like Pat's or vintage like Jim's, but it had a great ice cream store feel.

I give it two thumbs up.
