I was hopeful but apprehensive when I learned that there was a cheesesteak place opening up across from Olimpico where the bookstore used to be. Cheesesteaks can be difficult; even the places on Philly's South Street can lead you astray. Unfortunately, my doubts were warranted. The meat was chewy, and there was no grease drip. The sandwich left me with a parched mouth, not dabbing grease off my chin with a napkin as is typical. Hoang-Khai's comment below about the cheese being already melted is correct. While Cheez Whiz obviously comes in liquid form, other options like American cheese also came ladled out of a white plastic bucket. As the cheese was not in slice form, it could not be cut into the meat while it sizzled on the flat top. I won't echo Rudy's comment on the cheese tasting chemical, but I will say that seeing it come out of a bucket made me wonder how close a recreation of a Philly cheesesteak I would be getting. Unfortunately, the answer was "not very". This is a disappointing bang for your lunch buck on one of the best lunch streets in the city.
