My Philly Steak Subs

[TMB]

I'm sooooo hungry now, that looks wonderful

[akruckus]

Don those look fantastic!

Way better than any sub shop out here.

We do have a chain out here that is called Jersey Mike's and it is not bad.

I have heard what makes a true Jersey sub is the water they use to make the bread. The water in Jersey gives the bread a unique flavor. We had a place out here that actually bought their bread from Jersey. At least this is what they told me...

I have heard that water story before as well.......

It is all about the "wooder", something to do with all the limestone increasing the alkaline which gives it the good crusty outside and soft inside.  It is my biggest beef with getting a hoagie, sandwich, sub, hero, etc outside of the Philly area, just cannot copy the roll.  Once you get to past NYC and down south into Maryland, the rolls are just not same.

I know there is a shop in the Venice/Santa monica area that gets frozen rolls shipped from Philly to them, and they buy the steak meat from a supplier out here too.

Looks fantastic SD.

And for those of you who might have Geno's or Pat's on a bucket list for a Philly cheese steak.....take it off the list. Low quality over priced tourist trap.

Exactly! Call it Hawaiian if you want, I'd still want one (or two!)

There is something to what you say.  I know akruckus agrees with me on this. 

When my Uncle Nick was still alive, we couldn't wait for his annual July 4th trip to Charlotte.  He would bring a a big garbage bag full of fresh bread from Sarcone's or one of the other corner bakeries.  I don't know if it's the water or not, but the bread from that area makes the sandwich.

That being said, I'd jump on of those Chi-Town Phillies™ in a heartbeat ! ! !

That looks outrageous

[akruckus]

Big Dog, try Philip's on 23rd and Passayunk, everything is cooked to order, so good.  My go to spot when down in South Philly

[Big Dawg]

Oh yeah!  I grew up a few blocks from there . . . Lambert St., right where Passyunk and Wolf meet.
