With Whiz Please

So the year before last, for Mark's birthday, we decided to take a little trip away to Philadelphia.  Now on this trip we ate random good Chinese food and random good Cuban food, but what really impressed us is what Philly is known for, the Philly Cheese Steak.

I don't know if we even intended on eating one or what our plan was, but as we were wandering around we came across this massive line and the amazing aroma of sizzling meat and onions. We couldn't resist we got in line at Jim's Steaks. 

  
We waited in line for 45 minutes and for a November day it was chilly,  but we were warmed by our fellow diners comments. Everyone kept saying that it was so good, that is was the best, and most of all you have to get it with the Whiz.


Well, I don't know about you, but Cheese Whiz is kind of scary to me. Number one because it doesn't expire and number two because its dairy that doesn't have to be refrigerated.  However that day I was ready to give it a go. A cheese steak with whiz please! I have to say it was delicious.

The hoagie was nice and crusty and the steak was wet enough to moisten the interior to gooey yumminess. The steak itself was flavorful and onions and peppers just added to its complexity while the whiz (the blessed whiz!) just brought it all together creating a blanket of cheesey goodness for me to sink my teeth into. It didn't feel so scary at all.


Now a couple years later I want one, I crave one. Yes, I'm sure I can find a cheese steak somewhere in New York City, but it's not the same, its not Philly. There's no Rocky there's no Jim's Steak. I think a day trip is in order. Next stop Philly, after all Mark's birthday is coming up again. xoxo happy nibbling!
