A) I am a known lover and connoisseur of both cheesesteaks and mac 'n cheese. I seek the best and put the rest to the test.
B) On Cheesesteaks: Having grown up and lived in Philadelphia for 20+ years (and I don't mean the suburbs but the real deal, in the 215, 191, G-town, Mt. Airy, Manyunk, Queens Village, Italian Market, Bella Vista, South Philly, Graduate Hospital, Rittenhouse, Kensington, PBC and Yards drinking, Delaware Ave. driving, El taking, Mummer dancing, E-A-G-L-E-S flying, Phinatic cheering, U City venturing, E-factory and Mann listening, E-Center/Tweeter/Sony/Camden venturing, correctly pronouncing Sckuylkill kinda Philadelphian that the Fresh Prince, Roots, G-Love, and Aretha would be proud of), I know a thing or two about this elusive culinary treasure. And...if you don't know what all those things I mentioned mean, you don't have the right to judge a cheesesteak. Just sayin, "Uze guys better know your role"
Shall I make the purpose of this blog more clear? Ok.
I am on a mission to find the best mac 'n cheese dishes and cheesesteaks that this new home of mine has to offer. They say its a culinary playground here in Portland with its flourishing valley, abundant natural resources, and innovative food scene. Well, show me what you got PDX!
