For those who aren't aware, one of Philadelphia's greatest culinary acheivements is the cheesesteak, a relatively simple combination of meat, onions and cheeze whiz on bread that is sooo much more than the sum of its parts. As a sandwich that is already a heart attack waiting to happen, I always wondered if someday someone would find a way to make it worse for you. Leave it to my temporary city to find that way.
Last night we went to a restaraunt up the street named Jacques-imos. They had the genius idea of taking a whole roast beef po-boy and frying the whole thing. This may be the greatest change to the sandwich since, well, I don't know when. Philadelphians, take note, if someone can figure out how to fry a cheesesteak they may very well destroy Pat's and Geno's over the next few years.
