Philly Cheesesteak Night

In Philly or anywhere a Philly Cheesesteaks when cooked right is a meal we enjoy!  Although we don't like ours with the tradition "whiz."  Ah, but you know what they say, "When in Rome..."  Pat's or Geno's are famous, but the line is always too long for me.  Jim's is famous but not near as crowded.  There is a little place across from the historic Christ Church I like, but I can't remember the name.

Tonight we are going to make the Philly sandwiches and garlic parsley fries.
