Description

Chalk up another attempt to re-create Philadelphia's foremost vernacular culinary attraction, the cheesesteak. Doomed to failure? Only partly. Carl's Steaks has been undertaken by a real cheesesteak scholar, and the formula features thin sliced beefsteak worried on the griddle with a pair of long spatulas, then heaped with fried onions and one of the doctrinaire collection of cheeses: American, provolone, Swiss, and-perhaps most authentic-Cheez Whiz. Though the Whiz is applied with a timid hand, the sandwich comes as close to the original as anyone ever will on the East Side of New York. Which is about 70 percent of the way there.

    Though Steak-Umms were invented in the '60s, they reached their apotheosis in the '80s, when every suburban house had an ample supply in the deep-freeze, deploying them in casseroles, burritos, sloppy joes, and lasagnas, in addition to the use for which the Reading, Pennsylvania, Steak-Umms company originally intended them - Philly cheesesteaks. Though the razor-thin portions of beef may have inspired the pejorative term "mystery meat," they can still be acquired in many supermarket freezer cases around the city. So as not to be seen buying them, we prefer to scarf an actual cheesesteak at Carl's Steaks.
