I write this with an empty stomach

bender's, 19th & south van ness, san francisco

Yet another tasty serving from Benders
This cheese steak is, in fact, not steak at all! For those like me
who can not bring themselves to eat red-meat,
a seitan philly full of gooey mmmMmm cheese
grilled red peps & onions - a perfect veggie pairing for any sandwich in my book -
a soft roll of some sort of wonderful fluffy bread
and a tangy/sweet/salty/succulent sloppy sauce that pleased all regions of my tongue...

This sandwich was like going on an expedition into an uncharted land of my mouth
where the herbivorous natives have been patiently waiting out the savage ingestion of strictly turkey and chicken sandwiches, as of late...and with this seitan substitute, their culture (prospering by my bottom left molars) will finally thrive in this booming sandwich economy.

  2. All I know is want that pulled pork sandwich, which I hope was slow smoked over hickory coals basted in apple cider vinegar with some crushed hot red peppers. But I know you have to come south to get the authentic thing.

  5. Great sandwich pictures. And yes, the ones at ikes are amazing but you have to stop by Le Petite in Northbeach for a tasty lunchtime fix.

  8. The sanwiches look nice but if they represent your diet you can expect to suffer from cardiac disease, strokes, diabetes et al - please eat in moderation!
