I read that 9th Street Deli has a good one, but I haven't gone.
I feel like they used to?? But when they moved it just isn't the same. I really think they use cheese wiz. NOT authentic. I have always been a Chicken Philly guy and really find the most authentic ones at the chains - Jersey Mike's is one. Locally, City Grill has a pretty good Blacken Chicken Philly but it isn't authentic. Not sure how much that matters.KansasCitian wrote: ↑May 17, 2021St. Louis, MO has a strong deli game.... but where might one find the best Philly cheesesteak in town?

Whiz not authentic? Maybe not original, but it's authentic.STLCityMike wrote: ↑May 17, 2021I feel like they used to?? But when they moved it just isn't the same. I really think they use cheese wiz.

it is not on an cheesesteak from Philadelphia. I am not sure what a person looks for in a Cheesesteak, and my definition of "authentic" would be what you would find in a Philly Cheesesteak.urbanitas wrote: ↑May 17, 2021Whiz not authentic?

Oh yes it is. Pat's and Geno's, the two most famous cheesesteak places in Philly, both use cheese whiz, as do most of the places in touristy areas like Old City and South Street. And the places that don't use whiz offer American cheese, which is basically the same thing...STLCityMike wrote: ↑May 17, 2021it is not on an cheesesteak from Philadelphia.

Cheese whiz is for sure used throughout Philly. Thought this was common knowledge.urbanitas wrote: ↑May 17, 2021Oh yes it is.

Americans are obsessed with Brie, I have been trying to educate my wife in that respectsymphonicpoet wrote: ↑May 20, 2021^Like Colby, Swiss, and Cheddar, blended all together for a taste that melts with ease! My mom sometimes makes fancy grilled cheese with a blend of fancy cheeses and Velveeta. It works fine for some things. (None of which alters the fact that I do rather like a good Brie drizzled with honey on pumpernickel, say. Or Volpi salami and Münster on Italian bread.)
one great alternative is Delice de Bourgogne with a drizzle of truffle honey. You can find DdB at Whole Foods or, if you prefer to shop local, they sell a great one at Parker's TableYou got a problem with Brie? I like Camembert too, as it happens. And Münster, Havarati, Pepperjack, Swiss, Limburger, Gouda . . . Honestly, I've rarely met a cheese I didn't like. (Save for Kraft singles, which just seem like oil to me.) Happy to try about anything, though I don't typically shop the sparkly out-of-towners. (When there are so many perfectly good options that are closer, more convenient, or both.) That said . . . I will look up this Delice de Bourgogne you recommend.kipfilet wrote: ↑May 20, 2021Americans are obsessed with Brie, I have been trying to educate my wife in that respectsymphonicpoet wrote: ↑May 20, 2021^Like Colby, Swiss, and Cheddar, blended all together for a taste that melts with ease!

Owner Todd Tiefenauer, in a blog post on the restaurant's website and shared on Facebook, said that he had applied for grants through the Restaurant Revitalization Fund. "We have hopes that those much-needed funds will come through, for us and for many others like us," he wrote. "However, faced with the growing number of issues and legal snags that the RRF has been facing, we are not anticipating hearing anything from them any time soon.
"So it is with deep regrets that we announce that, as of today, we are closing our doors," Tiefenauer continued. "We are hopeful that this decision will only have to be temporary, and that we will be able to come back bigger and better than ever on the other side."
