Start Near the Severed End





So apparently, in Philadelphia, a cheesesteak is served on half a
roll, which appears to me as half a sandwich.  Maybe that's just
the Jersey in me.  You should always take your first bite from the 
cut end of the half sandwich; it's only right.  During every bite 
you take, make sure you squeeze the innards gradually toward
the round end of the roll, ensuring that the last bite is more than
just grease-laden bread.  A good last bite will bring you back.

And if this groundhog sandwich woke up and saw two shadows
from smokestacks, it must have been a Tony Luke's sandwich.





Two smokestacks





The SS United States.  Much more impressive than a Tony Luke's
woodchuck hero.  Was that lunch another brick in the wall?
I fear that may be the case....

  1. It's a little known fact that Roger Waters wrote "Another Brick in the Wall" when he was spending a weekend down the Jersey Shore.

    1. Was Rocco from southeast Philly? Are you confusing him with Rusty from SW, whose mom graced the cover of the Woodstock album, wrapped in a blanket? So he claimed.....

    3. The woman and man in that picture is Bobby Ecroline and she married the man in that picture and they are still married to this day. A young Miss Roach did attend Woodstock but did heed the numerous LSD warnings, and ended up spending the night in the back of a Dodge with a roadie from Sha Na Na. Rusty arrived some 9 months later, the rest is history.

  3. But what if the severed end is crowded? Is it OK to start in the middle of the roll? And what if it's not severed enough to be able cross the smokestacks? And what color was the bear?

    1. If you're getting dirty bear, then you may need to tack and duck the smokestacks to find clear bear.

  4. This Tony Duke restaurant thing was after I left Philly to wander in the diaspora, so I don't know from Tony Dukes.

    But I think the most significant question with any cheesesteak is whether it's half full or half empty.

  5. See, I even got the name wrong.

    I guess it's Tony Luke's.
