JP Eats Food Blog. Welcome to my food (and wine) blog. I am very lucky to enjoy good food and wine pretty frequently. I also spend a good deal of time learning and experimenting with both. The point of this blog is to share some of that with you as well as help me remember foods, wines, and little bits and pieces of information I pick up along the way. I rarely take pictures in nice restaurants, so most of what you see here comes from my kitchen, my friends' kitchens, or various casual and local hot spots. You can hit the archive, or never miss a post with rss.



Homemade “Philly” cheesesteak. You should never have left over prime dry-aged ribeye, but if you do, this is what you should do with it. As much as I love a real cheesesteak, it’s hard for them to compete with one like this made with a very high quality steak, slow cooked onions, and good Gruyere. It’s easy too. Just slow cook or very slowly sauté the onions in a nonstick pan until caramelized. Add the ribeye which you’ve sliced thinly against the grain. Once the ribeye is browned, move everything into a rectangle roughly the size of your sliced open bread and top with thinly sliced cheese. Press the bread down on top and let cook for a minute to melt the cheese and warm the bread. Use a spatula to get everything out of the pan in one piece. So good.
