Ground Up Deliciousness
The typical cheese steak has shreds of meat that are neither too large nor that small. I, however, recently experienced something different. I was in Wayne, Pennsylvania and I stopped by New Wayne Pizza for a bight. I walked into the small restaurant and ordered the typical cheese steak, coke, and chips. I sat munching on some chips drinking my unusually delicious soda when they brought the sub to me. I immediately noticed two things: the roll was crisp and warm, and the meat was extremely ground up. (The sub in the picture is not an example of the ones from New Wayne Pizza.)
The ground up meat was delectible. The cheese and ketchup melted in between the small chunks of meat, greatly increasing the flavor. Instead of the typical sub that has all the cheese on the bottom or the side, it is melted everywhere in this one. On top of that, the cheese was clearly fresh American Cheese. Some restaurants have been known to serve frozen, somewhat old cheese, but this was not the case. It was melted and distributed nearly perfectly.
The sub that I ordered did not have onions or peppers, but was merely cheese, meat, and ketchup. The restaurant did, however, offer small side orders of many different toppings and many different sub combinations. Like the cheese, the vegetables were clearly fresh. They looked juicy, luscious, and clearly worth it.
Now, on the topic of fresh foods, the bread was by far the freshest. When I first got the sub it was dark and inviting. The first bite was amazing. The crisp, warm roll melted along with the meat and cheese in pure deliciousness. Unlike the Jeno's roll from last week, this one was cooked to near perfection. Some spots were a little burnt, but the rest was spotless. It was not soggy, room temperature, or over-sized. Almost all roll lovers would have enjoyed the bread on this sub.
Great meat, delicious cheese, and magnificent bread. It is hard to get a better cheese steak. Despite all the good, however, there is some bad. The change in the style of meat was nice surprise, but it was not for me. Although it is true that it increased the flavor, it increased the flavor of the cheese and ketchup, not the meat. The meat's flavor seemed to be a little dulled down compared to subs with large chunks of meat. It was still delicious nonetheless. Therefore, the cheese steak from New Wayne Pizza is awarded a 9 out of 10.
