The Big Surprise 2000
I
remember the very first time I tried a Philly cheese steak at a little fast-food
restaurant at the mall in Atlanta, Georgia. I remember it was back in '97
when we had our family reunion in Georgia. I had enjoyed a Philly cheese
steak with some curly fries and a large soda that year. From that point on I
always wanted to try Philly cheese steaks because I was amazed how good they
looked when I saw them for the first time on TV. I knew that there were going
to come a point and time where I would try an authentic Philly cheese steak
that the city of brother love produced in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Three
years later, I finally got that chance. My mom had went on her first time ever
cruise in '00. I remember when she went on a cruise to Jamaica and Puerto Rico
and she told me when she came back from her cruise that she was going to see if
there was a restaurant that was open because she was changing in Philly. It
must have been like 6 AM in the morning and my mom was trying to find a
restaurant that was open at that time where she could buy a Philly cheese
steak. My mom called me on the phone and told me the good news and that
she was able to find a restaurant that was open that had fresh hot authentic
Philly cheese steaks. I remember talking to my mom before she had went on her
cruise about Philly cheese steaks and she knew how much I wanted to try the
real thing.
When
my mom finally arrived back home, I greeted her by giving her a hug and that's
when she pulled out the bag that had real grub in it from the restaurant.
This Philly cheese steak was huge on a hoagie roll that was greasy from the
cheese steak that was chopped up fine with the cheese melting all over the hot
steak. I remember tasting some potato chunks in the sandwich. I remember how
glad I was to see my mom because she was gone for over a week on her cruise.
Meanwhile,
my mom had explained to me what all she had to go through getting the cheese
steak and making sure that a restaurant that would sell them during
that time of the morning was open. I was grateful and I thanked my mom because
I would have been glad if I only got a souvenir. My mom brought back 2
t-shirts, one was from Jamaica and the other one was from Puerto Rico. I
enjoyed the cheese steaks and I loved the t-shirts. I get a taste for
cheese steaks from time to time. During that same year my mom had graduated
from her piano class and I remember they had great grub at her graduation,
too. Philly cheese steaks are great and you can enjoy them with some potato
chips or fries and don't forget to wash them down with some soda!
