Actually, I forgot to add my newest steak offering here...which occurred at *gasp!* The King of Prussia Mall on Tuesday. I went to the Starlight(?) in the Cafe Court and decided to order the Chicken Cheesesteak Hoagie. First, I saw it was $5.50, and second, this WAS a mall after all. But then I got the sandwich. Folks, this was NOT a sandwich. There was a bun at the bottom, with cheese, ketchup, mayo. lettuce, and mayo. But then came the chicken...I kid you not, there was a mountain of chicken on this puppy!!! I couldn't really even it as a sandwich...more like a fork and knife!!! I was left with a plateful of chicken at the end. Well worth the $5.50!

If you want a cheesesteak at the Mall, you can't go to the foofy food court. You gotta go to the original food court, to the place just called "Philly Cheesesteaks". You'll still pay too much, and it's not the best cheesesteak, but it's definitely a legitimate cheesesteak.

Of course, if big mounds of chicken are your thing...
