Jim's Revisited

So it's been about a year and a half since my last visit.

Jim's Steaks - Recommended
400 South Street
Philadelphia PA 19147

And I gotta say, it's exactly the same. Nothing's changed. And to that, I salute the cheesesteak brothas cooking behind the flattop.

I ordered a CS with American and Onions, and another one with Whiz and Onions.
What was I thinking right? They both should have been with Whiz.

Cooked to order, great American filler food. The bread is factory style, nothing special, just a means to an end. The meat is probably scary grade 'D' meat, and the whiz is most definitely not cheese at all. But who really cares. It's one of those meals you eat knowing you are being bad and that's OK.
Right guys?

It's become tradition, that when in Philly, go to Jim's.
After all, this is where Kobe Bryant get's his cheesesteak fix when playing the Sixers on the road...

North Jersey guy who visits friends in Philly all the time. One spot you got to check out for late night snacking is David's Mai Lai Wah. They have the best chicken corn chowder, general tso (usually dont order this in NY chinatown or in Queens spots), salt and pepper wings or squid, Chow Fun. They make it great and it's packed till 4 a.m. Hope to see a review. Thanks guys. P.S. Jim's is my favorite CS too.
