Philadelphia Cheese Steaks and Tastykakes

"Philadelphia Cheese Steaks and Tastykakes"

To get a true taste of Philadelphia you have to eat! With all the walking you’ve done, you should have worked up an appetite for the city’s most famous food, cheese steaks. Paper thin beef grilled with cheese in a fresh, soft roll. They’re made at just about every corner restaurant. If the place is crowded, take that as a good sign and go for it.

So you’re prepared, you should know you’ll have a couple choices to make. Popular additions to the Philly delicacy include grilled onions, mushrooms, peppers, lettuce and tomatoes. You can also pick the type of cheese. Typical choices include american, provolone, mozzeralla or what’s called “whiz.” What’s “whiz?” Think highly processed cheese in liquid form. It’s not my favorite, but I have friends who swear by the stuff.

Skip the french fries so you have room for dessert. Chocolate, peanut butter, butterscotch, there’s a Tastykake for every sweet tooth. Since 1914 the Philadelphia based baking company has been making tasty goodies. It’s like a twinkie, but it’s fresh and really good.
