| - I found myself really craving a philly cheesesteak the other day, and after thinking over all my options, realized that there still isn't really any place in town to get a cheesesteak besides Big Red's. So I decided to give it another chance. Big Red's got lucky in this regard. If they had any competition, I wouldn't have risked it. Consistency is important, and fortunately the meat didn't taste like hard rubber in this last cheesesteak I got.
I was actually very pleasantly surprised this time around. The meat was really juicy, and the cheese and bread perfectly fresh. In fact, the hoagie had to be the best part. And I usually hate American cheese, but they managed to make it pretty good. I'd swear they had provolone the last time I was here, but it was nowhere to be found, which is quite a shame. It also comes with raw and/or fried onions free of charge.
I turned down mushrooms and peppers and instead opted to cut some up at home, because it would have added a dollar in cost to a cheesesteak that was already pretty expensive. It's just a couple veggies, how can you seriously charge a dollar more for them with a straight face?
Thanks for making this second visit much less of a traumatic experience. Maybe I will soon get over my fear of the nightmare shit-meat I got last time and become a regular customer.
