Cheesesteaks, Hot Dogs, and The LA Food Truck Paradigm

In my brief flirtation with Los Angeles food trucks, I manage to sample, or at least attempt to sample, four diverse offerings that each presented some insight into the current state of street food in LA.  I already waxed foodetic about Kogi, whose food may not be worth the 45 to 60 minute wait that can …

LA Food Truck Review: Kogi Tacos

LA is the mothership of the current food truck rage that has seeped into America’s largest metropolises and bustling college towns.  In fact, Roaming Hunger, where we track food trucks from all over the country, is based out of Los Angeles.  So it’s no surprise that street food has become somewhat old hat in the …

A Tale of Two Cheesesteaks

The Mad Italian vs. Slack’s Restaurant & Bar Nearly every longstanding dish from here to Ouagadougou is subjected to hotly contested disputes regarding everything from its traditionalism to its overall quality.  Be it American classics like burgers, Italian staples like Neapolitan pizza, or even steaming bowls of the Vietnamese comfort food phở, these are the …

So thanks to Jimmy for pointing this out to me!  I totally glazed over it in my daily reading. Slashfood is the home to techfoodies.  I myself read it every day (and usually with great attention to detail).  Recently, they asked their readers to name the best sandwich in America.  Well, so long as you …

Woody’s Famous Philadelphia Cheesesteaks Restaurant Review – Midtown, Atlanta, GA

Overall: [rating:2] Philadelphia is the self-proclaimed Cheesesteak Capital.  I’ve traveled to the most well-known spots (Pat’s King of Cheesesteaks and Geno’s Steaks) and I’ve been to each several times over.  Trust me when I say that they are essentially crap on a bun.  You go to those tourist traps for the “experience;” there are better …
