Vegetarian cheesesteak
At the insistence of the coworkers, I had a veggie cheesesteak for lunch. We ordered from Zizi’s in Pennsauken.
And it wasn’t bad. Coworker Sharon was right. If you’re expecting a cheesesteak taste alike, you’ll be disappointed. To me, a cheesesteak is a multi-sensory experience. The weight of the bun. The scent of the onions. The sensation of the warmed shredded beef on your tongue. And while this sandwich was good for a bun filled with chunks of something, a fake cheese sauce and onions, the other senses didn’t get their fill.

I’m glad you told it like it is! I applaud you for trying it, but no doubt about it - you called the feelings of taste right on the money!
