The Greek Steaks Part

This week I will do a special story on the very rare Greek Cheese Steak. Only twice have I ever seen a Greek style restaurant that serves Cheese Steaks. One, is The Greek Lady on the University of Pennsylvania's campus. The other, is Romilos in Severna Park, Maryland. I know I promised that I would provide an answer to the Geno's Pat's controversy, and I will....next week.

Romilos, despite serving Cheese Steaks, is better known for their pizza. Most people who have had Romilos have probably not even had their cheese steaks. Now, I agree that their pizza is pretty good, but there are better pizza places in the immediate area and I believe that their cheese steaks are better than their pizzas.

Their cheese steaks, like most that are not in the Philadelphia area, do not have the best bread in the world. It can be toasted or not and is often soggy either way. Their steak, however, is quite delicious as there is good seasoning on it with a good mix of onions, cheese, and ketchup. The cheese is usually good, but the onions are sometimes sub-par. Overall, the sub is above mediocrity.

The second Greek restaurant, the Greek Lady, is very good, but with a lot of competition. Located on the University campus, it is a lively environment. Since it is in Philadelphia, however, it is not considered one of the top cheese steak places. It is extremely close to the Hemo's Cart, but is open when Hemo's is not, drawing in good business. Of course, their good subs help as well.

The Greek Lady subs are a bit small length wise, but there is a large amount of meat in them. The cheese is also very good, with a wide variety of choices. There are many different toppings offered with a variety of condiments, all of which help more than hurt. Of course, a major concern of mine is always the bread. It is delicious. Fresh, crisp, and always good.

When one thinks of cheese steaks, they do not think of Greek restaurants. I, however, have learned that Greek restaurants can have good subs. Overall, I award Romilos with a 6.5 out of 10 and I give the superior Greek Restaurant, the Greek Lady, a 8 out of 10.
