Cheesesteak-inspired pizza for lunch. I should've used the diced tomatoes leftover from the previous sessions before they go bad. Too late now, I don't do raw tomato. Maybe I'll remember for the next pizza.

The Cheesesteak panzerotti turned out pretty awesome for the first attempt. This is absolutely worth perfecting. A deep dish pizza version is also a possibility. I'll be trying to grow a variety of colored peppers next year.

The cheesesteak filling is cooling. I should've cut the peppers into small dice because they didn't cook down as I envisioned. Also, it needs some more color. Perhaps rainbow peppers will do the trick.

Today, I'm getting ready to work on a Cheesesteak inspired panzerotti experiment: chopped eye round, bell pepper, onion, mushroom, mozzarella, and Alfredo sauce.

Cheesesteak time, baby!

#food #lunch #cheesesteak

After a full productive — nine dozen — day of clamming, we seriously slept in.

Late breakfast? Early lunch? Late lunch? Maybe…

Cheesesteak seemed just right and we split a King Louie at Cheesesteak Louie’s in Seaside Heights.

Not sure how many pounds of rib eye they were able to fit into this bun. A few? The bread was fresh and soft. The meat was real, buttery rich, beefy, tender, not greasy, not gristly, cooked just right to remain juicy without running down your hands. With provolone, mushrooms, hot peppers, bell peppers — all crunchy, not mushy, and not salty like fast food that makes you chug water after a few bites.

Usually, I don’t like french fries but my dining partner is a fries connoisseur so I sample his choices. These were probably the best ones in a very long time: not greasy, crispy outside, not hollow but soft inside, tasting like actual potatoes.

We did not feel lethargically stuffed but this one sandwich held the two of us through the whole day at the beach. We didn’t even think about food.

As I type this the next morning, I am still not hungry.

When life gives you fascism, make a vegan cheesesteak sandwich.

(That means soy curls, veggies, and Follow Your Heart vegan cheese.)

Jim’s on 4th & South is a solid choice.
