0:18

0:21
together packed up in the bag and ready
0:24
to roll
0:24
I agree big the foot there are a lot of
0:27
hills in this neck of the woods that you
0:29
could hide it don't be getting any ideas
0:31
though admission closest cross streets
0:36
would be lone Hill Ave and the historic
0:41
route 66
0:53
backdrop of the mountains is very
0:53
beautiful a little gas station located
0:56
right here in the promenade Plaza this
0:59
establishment has not been here too long
1:02
normally cheesesteaks are known on the
1:05
East Coast but say hello to West Coast
1:09
cheesesteaks now open with classic car
1:14
alert 30-minute Park 30-minute parking
1:18
only
1:18
however even have some umbrellas here to
1:22
shade to shade the vehicles
1:51
all right place my order got my meal and
1:51
moving on to a park or at least
1:54
somewhere close by where I can sit and
1:55
consume this couple miles up all the
1:58
blossoms on that tree
1:59
beautiful arrived at Finkbeiner Park
2:03
here in the city of Glendora pride of
2:07
the foothills
2:16
this is a very impressive destruction
2:16
that has been placed here this eagle
2:20
under the tree
2:32
oh yeah this should work out pretty well
2:32
got quite a few to choose from and this
2:37
is what we're dealing with I picked up a
2:42
takeaway
2:43
menu as well that has all the the items
2:46
on it and the information on the
2:48
opposite side it's a little breezy out
2:51
here look went ahead and place one of
2:53
the two water bottles inside the cup I
2:56
asked for the cup because it has their
2:58
logo display there on the front as well
3:02
as a little sticker there on top that is
3:05
that is a good sized cheesesteak let me
3:10
reiterate the directions which are shown
3:13
here you can see where they have their
3:15
marking but then on those cross streets
3:18
over there on historic route 66 and
3:21
south lone Hill Avenue closest cross
3:27
street I know when it comes to these
3:28
items there is a lot of discrepancy all
3:31
what people prefer and what they think
3:33
what they say is the best I am NOT an
3:36
expert so I just asked for you know the
3:38
standard so I don't really know what I
3:41
don't really remember what they put on
3:42
it but these are the assortment of
3:44
sauces yes I should probably just open
3:48
it up and see let's see what I got
4:02
that'll help away the cup down cool
4:02
crisp water will the whole thing go in
4:07
there
4:23
well that's a close one it's a dog over
4:23
there making his presence known quite a
4:27
few people out here going in gosh I
4:33
don't even know where to start with this
4:35
do I slice it well I don't have it I
4:37
don't think I have a knife hope you have
4:38
any silver left no no cutlery so I guess
4:43
I'll just unwrap the whole the whole
4:47
thing where is it oh the sticker okay so
4:50
the sticker here
4:51
that's a peel that off how about go on
4:55
my it'll go on my wallet
4:57
well maybe not cuz the backs is all out
4:59
of stickiness so that will not go on my
5:01
wallet
5:12
okay we're getting close this is like
5:12
unwrapping a treasure right here and
5:17
we're going into the second layer oh
5:24
it's seeping through just like it should
5:24
be oh my goodness look at this the smell
5:31
has just permeated and wafted into my
5:40
general area look at that thing
5:43
yeah yeah look at that that's awesome I
5:49
am NOT an expert nor a connoisseur on
5:53
this particular food item in fact less
5:57
than a dozen times in my lifetime I have
6:00
had a cheese and cheese steak and all of
6:03
them at least the heavy majority of
6:06
those times no I'm just gonna say all of
6:08
them have been on the East Coast and a
6:12
good chunk of that percentage we're in
6:15
the Philadelphia area this oh whoa I
6:22
wish you could smell this because this
6:24
thing there's just oozing goodness mmm
6:29
I'm just I'm doing it
6:57
oh my lord well that's good it's about
6:57
thirty miles from where I reside and I'm
7:02
kind of thankful for that because if it
7:03
was closer this would be a semi-regular
7:07
regiment oh just one bite and I am
7:11
brought back to the memories when I love
7:13
about cheesesteaks
7:15
gotcha peppers and onions
7:45
when it comes to these things very
7:45
limited they don't hold any of this take
7:50
everything with a grain of salt but dang
7:54
that's how it's done right there
8:16
last time I was in Philly ate it the two
8:16
most popular spots there at those cross
8:19
streets they face each other to kind of
8:22
go head to head and I did a review on
8:24
those years ago it's called a review I
8:27
just visited them in a - cheesesteaks
8:29
and I can't recall off the top of my
8:34
head if those were better but my first
8:37
mo my impression right now is that this
8:40
is superior to those
9:02
sidenote I learned from that past video
9:02
in Philly that people are very vocal
9:07
about their love for cheesesteaks it is
9:12
a hot topic and the reason I did the the
9:16
two most popular kind of trendy spots
9:19
that the ones that are facing each other
9:21
because I wanted to get those out of the
9:22
way so next time I returned I could try
9:24
some of the local lore the kind of
9:27
floats around some of the opinions of
9:29
thoughts and and suggestions that people
9:32
have loved
9:47
I'm not talking about the East I stop
9:47
talking about the West Coast right now
10:00
if I ever well I will be back through
10:00
this area custody know I travel a lot
10:02
around the Greater Los Angeles area
10:04
doing different types of adventures and
10:08
one not even when this series ends which
10:10
it will series is not gonna run forever
10:14
I've ever heard I remember in this
10:17
neighborhood I will be making a pit stop
10:20
when I approach the counter and I asked
10:23
I said give me what is the the go to
10:28
what would be known for what someone
10:31
would say give me a cheesesteak and you
10:34
would hand someone a cheesesteak just
10:37
give me that so she gave me this and she
10:39
said that there was they use a cheese
10:41
whiz and set up like a hard cheese does
10:45
that make sense
10:46
cheese whiz whatever it is it it is a
10:51
nice package full of items and there
11:19
I didn't know how much this was
11:19
necessary for my stomach happiness until
11:41
not disappointed at one bit I am far
11:41
beyond not disappointed right now
11:44
halfway done I would like to I would
11:46
like to take the other section of this
11:49
home but I don't think it's gonna happen
11:50
this is just this needs to be completed
11:53
yeah is this is happening I have a
11:56
little bit of a regiment over the last
12:00
over three weeks of this where I try to
12:03
eat in the late morning not even into
12:06
the afternoon I try that by noon I try
12:08
to have already eaten my main meal of
12:10
the day and then once I get home I drink
12:13
a lot of water just to kind of flush
12:16
flush everything and then yes a small
12:19
sometimes not even a meal at night and
12:22
if it is very very small just maybe like
12:24
a little snack or something and
12:27
sometimes they even skip that still not
12:30
it's not it's not really justifying
12:31
eating just I don't know if it's a
12:34
footlong but a lengthy chunk of bread
12:38
with this delicious goodness but it
12:42
helps all bets are off
13:04
some church bells in the background
13:04
signifying but this thing comes from the
13:07
heavens three ticks for see what time it
13:18
is 5 6 8 9 10 11
13:46
should be one more 12 noon just about
13:46
ate my meal of the day before dude seems
13:50
trying to trying to make it work from in
13:54
pencil middle status in anyway
14:31
I'm actually not from here I just pulled
14:31
over to eat I don't know I don't even
14:35
know what so in the other area I'm gonna
14:39
go on record this is the best cheese
14:42
steak I've ever had in my life now I
14:44
have not had a lot less than a dozen
14:46
maybe even less than 10 but out of all
14:49
of them this is the best one I've ever
14:51
had now that will probably be bested
14:54
throughout the course of my life
14:55
especially now that I will say I'm
14:59
becoming a foodie by any stretch of the
15:03
imagination but I'm becoming a little
15:05
more open to going to different places
15:07
and trying other spots so that might but
15:11
as of right now this is this is the best
15:15
cheese steak I've ever had
15:16
take it from me just just my opinion
15:27
might even become a mission from how
15:27
long you might even become a mission
15:32
just that now I know there are plenty of
15:36
people out there who have a little bit
15:40
more knowledge and a little bit more
15:42
experience and when it comes to to
15:44
downing those items I got it now a black
15:55
I'm on it
15:56
maybe I don't eat enough of them maybe I
15:59
don't eat enough of them and it's been a
16:01
couple of years since I had one so maybe
16:06
I just forgot how how tasty
