Philadelphia is famous for the cheesesteak, but we all know a sandwich can be so much more. Philadelphia Magazine recently ran a spread on 18 of the best sandwiches that Philadelphia has to offer. With my crew by my side, we decided to venture out on our own sandwich crawl. Our destinations: Jakes Sandwich Board and Paesano's. Below is a lineup of what we consumed.
JAKES:
Village Turkey: Slow roasted turkey breast, cherry wood smoked bacon, fresh argula, black cherry spread.
Mensch: 12 hour beef brisket, horseradish sauce, fried onions, melted provolone cheese
Fire Steak: Rib-eye steak, fire sauce, friend onions, mushrooms, provolone cheese, topped with a deep fried long hot
Farmers Market: Roasted eggplant, fresh grilled veggies, topped with cheddar cheese and a balsamic glaze reduction.
Sloppy Dog: Two deep fried hot dogs, fried onions, mushrooms, roasted peppers, cheddar cheese, spicy brown mustard, topped with french fries
Paesano's
Zawzeech: Sweet Italian Sausage, Carmelized Peppers and Onions, Sharp Prov
Gustaio: Roasted lamb sausage, sun dried cherry mostarda, gorgonzola, fennel
Panella: Sicilian Chic Pea Pancake, Roasted Tomato, Fennel, Godzuki
The Gustaio and the Mensch were my two favorites. I felt like they were well balanced and didn't go over the top with ingredients. All of these sandwiches were washed down with black cherry soda and plenty of it. After feeling like absolute shit, but in a good way, we ventured over to Memphis Taproom in fishtown for the annual Octoberfest. I tried a few interesting beers, some good, some dissapointing, but it was exactly what I needed after eating all that food. Grabbed some Russian River Consecration and some tempura green beans at Varga Bar to finish off the night.
Does anybody have any ideas for other food crawls??????? Plan it and let's go
Adventures in eating my way through life. Enjoy it, or don't.
