77. I am not now, but there's a place in Minneapolis

that makes a cheesesteak that is utterly indistinguishable from the best ones I've had in Philly, which would be Tony Luke Junior's. Looked for 15 years before finding a place than makes a REAL cheese steak out here in da Midwest, ya know.

You wouldn't think it would be that hard - a good, fresh roll - softish in the middle with a bit of crustiness, thinly sliced, gently seasoned high quality rib-eye seared on a hot grill with some onions, a dollop of Cheez Whiz and, if you want them, some thinly sliced green peppers grilled with the onions.

You'd think it was goddamn neurosurgery given how hard it is to find a decent one outside of Philly.
