Lunch Report: South Philly Experience truck

Posted by con_carne Jun 6 '11, 12:37

This sandwich is good! Hey, had to get that comment out of the way.

I was gonna say, this was something of an experience, so the name of the truck is apt.

I got the cheesesteak with Cheez Wiz and grilled onions (a.k.a. "'Wiz, wit'"), Herr's dill pickle flavored potato chips, and Tastykake Butterscotch Krimpets.

The sandwich: The meat, bread, cheez wiz and onions are all good, and go well together. I'm wowed. I think I could eat the bread and Wiz by themselves as a meal, they're really tasty together.

The chips must be a Philly-centric brand, we don't have that brand here. I liked.

Will have the Tastykake (also, something I've never tried) shortly.

For DH, here's a pic of what my sammich looks like, which I just found from their photo stream (www.flickr.com)

mmm, Herr's. IIRC, there was an episode of the Office where Jim and Karen were trying to find Herr's Salt and Vinegar chips. - loosilu Jun 6, 12:41 2
- chips and pretzel's in PA are *nuts.* like, we don't go to tom's for coffee because they have utz and martin's. we like snyders (and I will *not* - amanda Jun 6, 12:45 1

      - he hasn't always knwon. we watched the conversion here, live! -- nm - amanda Jun 6, 12:46
      - you can get them without cheese at all -- nm - moles Jun 6, 12:43 5
        
        They just call those a "steak" -- nm - con_carne Jun 6, 12:46
        
        Technically, if your getting a cheesesteak without the cheese, you should just go to NY and use a fork and knife on pizza -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 6, 12:45 2
        
        considering the "true" Philly style is Cheez Whiz, I'll eat my sandwich the damn way I please to. -- nm - Reagen Jun 6, 12:46 1
        
        with prov or mozz, it's a pizza steak. duh. -- nm - amanda Jun 6, 12:47
        
        true, but I'm explaining what he means by "technically". -- nm - loosilu Jun 6, 12:44

- Thanks, actually. I keep forgetting. - con_carne Jun 6, 12:42 4
  - don't worry, even after you go, he'll still remind you five thousand more times -- nm - moles Jun 6, 12:43 3
    - it's that good!! -- nm - peglegpete Jun 6, 12:48 2
      - after he goes, HE WILL KNOW THIS or disagre, making reminders unnecessary. see? -- nm - amanda Jun 6, 12:50 1
        
        now I do. you always make far more sense than Pixie :) -- nm - peglegpete Jun 6, 12:52
