Mention “Philadelphia” and “food” and most non-natives immediately think of the cheesesteak. Yes, they’re ubiquitous and yes, they can be darn tasty. There are also a lot of crap cheesesteaks in Philly just like there are anywhere else – and when it comes down to it most Philadelphians would tell you they’d rather eat an authentic Italian hoagie or roast pork/porchetta sandwich instead.
About the Author
The "South Jersey Foodie" is Nicole Pellegrini, sometimes known as sockii. She enjoys life as a writer, artist, webmaster, crafter and avid food-lover living in some of the last vestiges of active farmland in Gloucester County, New Jersey. She shares her home with her partner David, a podiatrist in Woodbury NJ and their six cats: Peanut, Norman, Sammo, Mischief, George and Benny.I believe in enjoying life - and that includes enjoying as many different kinds and styles of food as possible. I am an omnivore with a personal passion for small, sustainable, ethical farming and natural foods. I have little patience for the "Food Police" or those who advocate that one dietary plan is the only "right" one for everyone. Find your personal balance and conscience; make food a joy in your life - that's my motto.
