Close your eyes and see if you can smell this. Especially if you haven’t had your cheese steak fix satisfied recently.
A cheesesteak is a sandwich made from thinly sliced pieces of beefsteak and melted cheese in a long hoagie roll. A popular regional fast food, it has its roots in the U.S. city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Happy to go to Philly anytime.
The meat traditionally used is thinly sliced rib-eye or top round, although other cuts of beef are also used.
On a lightly oiled griddle at medium temperature, the steak slices are quickly browned and then scrambled into smaller pieces with a flat spatula. Slices of cheese are then placed over the meat, letting it melt, and then the roll is placed on top of the cheese. The mixture is then scooped up with a spatula and pressed into the roll, which is then cut in half.
Common additions include sautéed onions, sweet and hot peppers, mushrooms, ketchup, hot sauce, salt, and black pepper.
Why is it that we can feel our arteries hardening as our taste buds are swelling and begging for a cheesesteak?
With all of this vegan craze going on, can’t we find a company that can deliver us some incredibly delicious cheesesteak that won’t turn into glue in our arteries?
Yes, we can. We feel like we have found cheesesteak paradise.
It has been in the news recently.
The global information source newsweek.com reports, “A plant-based Cheese Steak sandwich and a Meatball sub will be tested at Capriotti’s Sandwich Shop‘s Las Vegas locations. The vegetarian sandwiches are made with plant-based protein by Impossible Foods. Capriotti’s claims that they have created the world’s first plant-based cheesesteak.”
That is a very impressive claim. We want to hear more.
At qsrmagazine.com they add, “Capriotti’s Sandwich Shop is upping the ante in the plant-based eating game. The brand’s award-winning Cheese Steak sandwich is now available to more fans than ever before. Launching at exclusive Las Vegas locations, Capriotti’s is now testing the world’s first Impossible Cheese Steak.”
We want to hear more about Capriotti’s story. Any team that is brilliant enough to come up with this idea, their story needs to be heard.
They oblige. At capriottis.com they share, “Lois Margolet and her brother, Alan, started Capriotti’s in 1976. They lived in Little Italy in Wilmington, Delaware, where sandwich shops were abundant, but Lois had a dream of creating something unique. The shop began as a boarded up building beneath their apartment. They decided to name it after their grandfather, Philip Capriotti, who loved to cook.
They wanted to create a sandwich for “real turkey lovers,” so they started roasting whole fresh turkeys overnight. This concept set them apart from their competition and still does. People loved their sandwiches, and word spread about their fresh roasted turkey, quality meats and cheese, fresh rolls and produce. It was a regular occurrence to hear people saying “Capriotti’s makes the best sandwich I’ve ever eaten!”
Over time, their popularity grew and in 1987, their cousin, Diane Rizzo, joined them in opening additional locations in Delaware. Signature sandwiches, such as the “Bobbie®” and others, were introduced. The formula was so successful that franchising was offered. Today, Capriotti’s Sandwich Shops located around the country and continue the tradition started in Delaware over 30 years ago.”
Wonderful. The good news is that they are continuing to make news.
Here a two reviews of their tasty cheesesteak sandwich at Trip Advisor.
“No doubt about it–Capprioti’s has the best cheese steak sandwiches on the Eastern Shore. I get one almost every time I travel this way. Usually my mouth starts watering when I get to the Bay Bridge, just thinking about one of these subs. You can save some time by calling ahead; they’ll have the sandwich waiting for you when you get there.”
And another.
“The best subs and steak sandwiches around. Make sure you get them loaded with sweet peppers, pickles and hot peppers.”
Nice. Very tasty idea.
When something as special as this type of sandwich comes along, we absolutely want to know more about it.
