It’s time to share our latest post for our series Daily Bizarre, Special and Unique Holidays – March, 24th, 2021. It’s National Cheesesteak Day. Don’t tell my family because they would want one.
Are you hungry? If I were to ask Charlie or David I am sure they would say yes. As for me not so much. Although, I do have to eat to lose the weight I would like to lost.
Celebrating this day is a real pleasure. Meal planning for the day is all set. Today is National Cheesesteak Day. A sandwich best known as the “Philadelphia Cheesesteak” or “Philly Cheesesteak”.
Do you like Philly Cheesesteak? David does and picks up Raybern’s Philly Cheesteak from Walmart for his lunch. Charlie likes to go to the mall to Charleys Philly Steak and get one when were shopping. As for me I don’t care for Philly Cheesesteak because for the meat they use Lamb. I don’t eat lamb Meat at all ever.
About:
Hot dog vendors and brothers Pat and Harry Olivieri from Philadelphia, PA are credited with creating the cheesesteak sandwich in the 1930s. They created a grilled beef and onion sandwich on a long, soft hoagie roll. It became an immediate hit.
It wasn’t long before a taxi cab driver suggested to Pat Olivier that he quit the hot dog vending business and open a store to sell his popular sandwich. That’s exactly what he did, opening “Pat’s King of Steaks” restaurant. The original sandwich did not have cheese. Cocky Joe, an employee of the restaurant added melted provolone cheese. Grilled peppers also came later.
Celebrate today with a delicious and classical American sandwich for lunch, dinner or both of these meals!
