The Old Edison French Dip Review, Edison, WA

My new view.  Nov 1 morning.  Cool, moon, lovely.



View of a Great Blue Heron from my telescope.

So it was dinnertime and I was Old Father Hubbard and had nothing.  Out I went.

Seemed like I needed to know.

My seat.  The clientele were a bit seedy.  I wasn't all that impressed or having too much fun.  I was trying to watch the KC Chiefes playing Joe Judge's NY Giants on Monday Night Football.

My water.  Service was slow.  The bartender was also the waitress...running ragged.

Here it is.  Doesn't look too bad.

Bread looks okay.  Meltedness and all that looks good.

Swiss and caramelized onions.  Seems like it's going to be good right.  M, not really great.

"Smooth" bleu cheese dressing a bit of a bummer.  Didn't stand out.

Salad looked pretty good generally.

Jus looks light in color but does have floating bits so I assumed it'd be good.  It was fairly "oily" which was good.  4 of 5.

Sandwich looks good but doesn't taste all that great standalone.  2 of 5.

Money shot is not looking real great.  Jus too light in color.  The jus did "save" the sandwich though and brought the flavor up to a 4 of 5.  Quite good. Oniony.

Also seen: the picture of this lady at the bar.  Risque!

Oh and she's hanging on the wall in the men's room as well.  Risqueeeee!! 

My "new" review system.  I continue to perfect and explore. It's fun.

Here's the side salad review.

Not a French Dip Review: Geno's Philly Cheese Steak, Philadelphia, PA







Setting the Stage
I was in Wilmington, DE for work, saying good by to my client JPMorgan Chase and wound up at the Philly Airport at dinner time.  I saw the Geno's stand and had to partake.  I know it's not a french dip but it's a close cousin!

Name famous 🎗️

Location Philadelphia airport 🛫, seemed new 🆕

Organization looked clean and like a production line, assumed care

Ordering cheese steak 🧀🥩, Kraft wiz, onions, added mushrooms 🍄 and peppers

Service quick 🚄

Delivery wrapped in paper 🌲, side soft drink 🥤, got napkins and their sauce

Texture bread 🥖too chewy, not toasted, could have been stale, each bite caused sandwich filling to fall out

Cheese nasty and too creamy although they did have other options they recommend this 🚮

Size good

Beef 🐮 not notable

Onions not notable

Peppers good, variety of colors, spicy, pickled

Sauce spicy, good, fun

Overall a classic Philly staple, fun with garbage too creamy cheese, toppings okay, bread too chewy
