Thanks man, I would love to meet you as well. I think it would be grand to meet any of the Cellar folks. It would be just me and the wife as the kids are off to school.

Well here we are in Philadelphia, at a pizza and steaks place, where they make a pretty good steak. In this video you see the chopping of the meat, in which meat that starts as flat shavings of beef is cut into finer pieces with skilled spatula work. You can see a flat piece of steak on the grill just to the right of the meat being chopped, and above that is a pile of onions frying up, probably in advance of the next order on the grill.

Many steak places, and especially the touristy ones, do not properly chop the meat in a steak. Chopping it up is how it should be done. Moving it around on the grill means the meat cooks evenly and you shape it into sandwich size, getting ready for the cheese.



The finished product. They put it into the roll cheese side-down. On purpose. This one is not mine, it contains mushrooms.



This one is mine. They wrap it in foil paper so that it stays hot but can steam out a little on the trip home.



It's cut in two at the restaurant, so here is the money shot. This is exactly what you want, meat, cheese and bun all integrating to create one beautiful hot sammich.



If you eat these you will become fat. I know I have.

Mayo is like sacrilege on a cheese steak.

"Sacrilege on a cheese steak" reminds me of Dana saying "christ on a cracker."

Using in a sentence: Well sacrilege on a cheese steak, what in the world were you thinking?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I've heard that before. Even my mother tortures me about it. My response? Yum, yum, yum.

I like mayo on my italian hoagies, too.

What are you, French or something??

(note to outsiders: Pepperoni is an acceptable cheesesteak additive, although is not common, but it is an awesome way to top off a pizza steak)

I have a local deli that will make cheesesteak Strombolis for me. Mmmm drool.
No matter when I order them they are ready Sunday morning.
My buddy is friends with the guy and tells me the steak comes from New Zealand which sounds strange to me.
Australia maybe but New Zealand I thought was sheep. Well, I'm sure they grow some beef but enough to supply Boar's Head Distributing in Philly doesn't sound right.
