These are a few of my favorite things...Philadelphia Cream Cheese, Pepper Pot, Scrapple (don't ask the ingredients - just as you wouldn't watch sausage made), Tastykakes and the Cheese Steak. The founder of Geno's Steaks passed away last week. In 2005 he posted a sign "This is America. When ordering please speak English." He reminded critics that he did say "please" - and nobody gets refused. In 2003 he received a favorable review in the N.Y. Times by the eminent gourmet, R.W. Apple, Jr. who described the cheese dissolving into a runny sauce. And this was Cheez Whiz from an aerosol can! In 1967 when he opened he charged thirty-five cents - currently it cost $9.00 - with or without the onions.
