Philly Cheese Steak, Anyone?

This place is awesome. 

 And I should know.

I'm from Pennsylvania, after all.

We made a quick jaunt to a part of town we have surprisingly never been to.  We knew it would be some good artery clogging stuff, but we have green smoothies daily and figured they might cancel some of the cheeseiness out, right?  Geez, I hope so.

Definitely head on over to The Original Philly's located at 3019 MLK Jr. Way South Seattle, WA 98144.

We ordered the original cheese steak, pepper cheese steak, and cheese fries which our kids gobbled up.  Even as take-out they were super steamy with hot thin steak and melted cheese.  Large sandwich portions so we had plenty of leftovers and it would be easy to share just one. 
It was also a bit hole-in-the-wall which is right up our ally, anyway. 
 (love the pun-intended imagery? funny, right?)

Although they really can't compete with the real deal from PA, it's a quick Seattle fix for sure. Also...it turns out that the owner IS from Philly.  A good sign, I think.

As an insanely huge bonus, they had Tastykakes which are a trip down memory lane for this Rowdy Girl.  Butterscotch Krimpet, please.  

YELP gave it 4 out of 5 stars, and we would have to agree.
