The lovely Philadelphia
After spending 5 months in the world capital of beef, it’s no surprise that my tummy rumbles for more steak. How perfect then that I now find myself right bang in the middle of the city whose name goes in front of cheesesteak! Wandering through the snowy streets of Philadelphia, PA I am faced with so many signs advertising cheesesteaks. On top of this, most of the pizza places in the city sell cheesesteak pizza which looks and smells amazing.
The question is…where can a newbie coeliac to Philadelphia find herself a gluten free Philly Cheesesteak?
UPDATE: This weekend I found and ate what could be said to be a Philly cheesesteak but even more exciting and delicious at Paesano’s. Beef brisket, horseradish mayo, roasted tomatoes, pepperincino, sharp provolone and fried egg. Possibly the most delicious sandwich ever and definitely a place I’ll be going back to.
