"When people think of cheesesteaks, they don’t always think of the Northeast (or Italian restaurants). But if you stop by this casual spot in a shopping center on Holme Ave., you’ll see a line of people waiting for one like it’s the hottest club in town. The signature here is the Don Cheech’s Steak, an ideal combination of thick-sliced ribeye, melty cooper sharp, and fried onions on a seeded roll. Although there may be a wait to get your hands on one, once you do, you might briefly mistake the Northeast as the center of the universe." - candis mclean, alison kessler
