It seems like months since I've updated the old Sandyblog, so let's have at it, eh?
Have I had some wonderful sandwiches since our last post? Most definitely yes. I've spent a lot of time in Philly, meaning I've eaten lots of cheesesteaks. Did you know? In Philadelphia, one must eat at least one cheesesteak per month, lest they be excommunicated. William Penn said that once, and it was seconded by Benjamin Franklin -- hence the italics. Italics aside, this "law" remains true to this day. Although not formally enforced by the official police, local Philadelphians will sense your disloyalty if you stop eating cheesesteaks and physically eject you from the region, most likely depositing you in New Jersey.
Protip: One can fool Philadelphians by eating 400% of one's normal intake of cream cheese. Locals may at first suspect you, but will probably leave you alone if you give off a powerful cream cheesy aroma.
The point? There is none. I've eaten some good sandwiches is all, including the best Philly-Chee there is (Jim's) as well as a fine French open face in Paris herself (the croque-madame). I've tried many variants on the cheesesteak in the meantime, including the Buffalo chicken cheesesteak, which is fantastic.
Make up your mind about the "wit" issue and get back to me. I'll work on getting this mess cleaned up.
