Review Preview: 9th Street Deli

• I remember visiting the southside of philly years ago (many trips back but not in maybe 5 years)and spent everyday there wolfing down a steak from every place that had them...little hidden away delis (with their racks of bread and peanut butter and stuff) to Jim's Steaks, Pat's & Geno's. They were all good and as I recall they had just about all made the transition away from gluey melted cheese to provolone (cheez whiz had to be specifically requested). Cheez whiz on a steak may be romantic but it's a depression era holdover and nasty!

• The cheesemonger and his wife both like the Whiz! Sometimes I go for American cheese at 9th Street Deli...sometimes its the Whiz...whatever tickles our fancy that day. There is no room for fancy cheese on a cheesesteak.
