Well, I did know a guy from West Philly who liked raw onions on his steaks, even though I still think that's wrong. If I want raw onions, I get a hoagie. It wasn't just my neighborhood, though the closer you get to touristy areas, the closer you get to wealthier areas, and the further you get from "Little Italy" (South Philly) the more likely you are to find that it is necessary to specify that you want onions. I generally view this as being burdenned with having to teach someone their job. A guy in a steak shop should know how to make a steak....you know? Anyway, I guess I'm a bit of a fascist when it comes to cheesesteaks and hoagies. Damn, I miss Philly.

And A cheesesteak comes PLAIN, steak and cheese everywhere i went growing up and everywhere we went when i just visited in march and february. Perhaps FO was the style at your neighborhood shop? But a hoagie with anything but oil is NOT a hoagie. --Beth, Pseudo usenet cop Merlin MTB, BikeE AT, RANS gliss, Trek R200, Kickbike Owned by Kavik (Samoyed Boy) and Toklat (Keeshond Boy) Anchorage, Alaska ----- Original Message ----- From: "Simon Horwith" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Community" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, March 26, 2002 12:04 PM Subject: RE: Food warning > Beth, > I gotta argue with you on this one.
