Let's talk sandwiches

Not my problem.

Hey, don't get me wrong, I would love to sample an authentic Philly cheesesteak.

So which is better? Pat's or Geno's?

Tourists go to Pat's and Geno's. If you want a real Philly cheesesteak, you get it from a guy working out of a food truck parked on a street corner, whose personal and workspace hygiene are at least partially in doubt. Your best bet is a weekday during lunchtime; most of these guys cater to the office workers and can be hard to come by on a weekend.

Uh huh... well, then that's a bit TOO authentic.

Cheesesteak snobs from Philly are almost as bad as pizza snobs from New York.

There's nothing to be snobby about concerning New York pizza.
Now Chicago pizza.....

It sounds worse than it is; I've never had food poisoning from anything I've bought off a food truck, which is more than I can say for some "legitimate" food establishments in Philadelphia.

Not necessarily THE best but chicken spaghetti on garlic bread makes a good sandwich.

I LOVE sandwiches. I'm partial to veggie sandwiches of all kinds, but I've been on a grilled cheese kick lately.

- 2 slices 12 grain bread
- cream cheese on both sides
- 2 thick slices of aged cheddar
- 1 slick kraft singles
- margarine or butter both sides
- throw it on the George Foreman Grill

Serve with a pickle and a mix of ketchup/sriracha sauce for dipping
