      🤣. Curious tho. Before making that cheesesteak were you watching cheesesteak video's or in the past on a regular ? Cause that will be the reason why you would see cheesesteak video recommendation pop ups. But if you didn't do any of what I just mentioned... Yeah... Close your laptop.

    Uncle Jimmy took me to Jimmy's back in 1995. He grew up in Philly and bragged it was the best. He passed in Nov of 2021 in Florida and was buried in Newark. Honoring him we stopped off at Jimmy's after the funeral Service and had a Philly. I chased it down with Yuengling, brewed by the America's Oldest Brewery. Here's to you Jimmy!

    Jim’s is touristy and overpriced BUT, they do make a good cheesesteak, at least better than the other touristy spots. The thing is in Philly you can get a really good cheesesteak almost anywhere, so places like Jim’s, Pats, Genos, etc. aren’t much of a draw to locals unless you’re hammered late night and need sustenances.

It was something he was!Phil was running the same cheesestake race, and jumping the same cheesestake hurdles as him, so why was he tripping him up? Will claimed they needed to stick together, but he didn't even know what that meant. If you ask me, Will was the real sellout. 😤

    I have created what will be called the Seward Style Cheese Steak, everyone who has one always say WOW at the first bite and it is a very favorable sandwich. It is more complex but the taste is phenomenal. We make dozens a day with a small population. When this pandemic is done and we fill up again with cruise ships and tourists watch out, it will be legendary.

      Seward is too close to the word sewer, trash collects from rain and floats down into the sewer at the street corner, ain't that right?
      Next time say, "Lowell Point" instead.
