Maybe it's hard to be good when you're trying to imitate
something. I agree with you. And with me I swear it was not some
kind of regional loyalty, not that I know of. I just know that none
of the so-called philly steak sandwiches I've had anywhere are as good
as the ones around PA. But like I said in another post, there was one
down here that I enjoyed, and I think I was able to enjo it because it
was different enough from the so-called philly style that for me it
lost the imitation label and became it's own product. It just became
a sandwich, and it was pretty good. Yes, they called it a philly
steak sandwich, but it was so different that it didn't look like an
imitation and was therefore able to stand on its own in my eyes and in
my taste.
