I had a few at Jim's when I was in Philly some years ago. Delicious!

I'm sorry but that is just the Chef Ramsey/Jaimie Oliver version of a Philly cheesesteak. You proved my point. No one knows how to make one outside of the Philadelphia Tri-state area. I'm sure it tastes great and I'm not disrespecting what you do but, naw, I'll pass! And with that, folks, I am banned!

How about Italian ice? I like the Luigi's cups and some Italian ice pops (don't remember who made them off the top of my head).
Absolutely get your point, but sometimes customer expectations push you into adding stuff and making it look pretty.
The one thing i loved about being in America was the lack of pretence with food, especially cheap food, which i found very cheap and very good
That's what I always think of when I hear Philly Cheese steaks - have had them probably too many times during my travels in the USA over the years,

Same here in California with the French Dip sandwich.
In it's original form, a French Dip has Roast Beef infused with Swiss Cheese on a toasted Pub Roll with Roast Beef broth based Au Jus on the side.
Everyone has to put their own spin on it and in doing so, is creating something entirely different. You don't put lettuce, onions, pickles, mayo, garlic butter and other crap on a French Dip. If you do, you've created a Roast Beef sandwich.
Also, all those condiments do not work well with Au Jus, at all.

Next time you are here, I will take you to some great hole-in-the-wall places! Ask Marcel, I know the area!Absolutely get your point, but sometimes customer expectations push you into adding stuff and making it look pretty.

That is how I make mine. I never heard of all that other crap. I think I did switch with provolone cheese. Wait, that is the muffuletta sandwich. I make my own olive salad mix. I make the sandwiches the way they are supposed to be made. Simple.

The French Dip was conceived as bar food: quick and simple to make and easy for drunks to eat.
All that fluff that dumbasses are adding to it detracts from the original.
I have a friend that makes a traditional style French Dip at his Deli.
Instead of Roast Beef, he uses Prime Rib and aged Swiss. He substituted the Pub Roll for an Amoroso Roll and his Au Jus has a bit of pork fat mixed in with the Prime Rib juice.
It's f**king amazing.

Wish there was a place around here that made French Dip sandwiches other than Arby's.

There used to be a coffee shop chain called "Carrows" that offered a fantastic French Dip.
The only other place that I can think of, is Leatherby's Family Creamery, which only has a few locations left in central California (Sacramento region).

Why don't you make it yourself? If you have a Crock pot, its easy.

I've made all kinds of beef and pork slow cooker roasts before, just not French dip (well, not really as far as the French dip).

This is how I've done it. Very easy. Sometimes I throw a pepperoncini in the pot to give a little zing.

Ribs came out of the smoker perfect. Juicy and pull off the bone tender. Everybody put their preferred sauce on at the table, and dig in. Made a potato salad with it.

Oh that bark looks awesome! My mouth is watering.
