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.

Cheesesteak from Pat’s, and a Pat’s vs. Geno’s comparison. Somehow, around midnight one night this past weekend, I found myself in the midst of a Pat’s vs. Geno’s throw-down. Maybe there are better steaks elsewhere, but these are the iconically Philly steak joints. I’ll admit to being firmly planted in the Pat’s camp going in. I’ll also disclose that I’m a provolone instead of whiz guy. Sorry, but whiz makes me sick just thinking about it and I love my provie wit. Anyway, there didn’t seem to be much of a comparison, even to the Geno’s fans in our group. The Geno’s steak was decidedly similar to a high school cafeteria steak um—a couple of thin strips of tasteless beef(-ish) meat. Pat’s on the other hand, was loaded with delicious shredded ribeye and even the bread was better. Nevermind that I haven’t had a midnight cheesesteak since college, this was a lot of fun.
