Gotta love,
a bit of weird!

Me and my old man were in this fancy looking restaurant at the top of The Stratosphere on the Vegas Strip. Our waiter, who called himself ‘The Doctor’, has always stuck with me since. He was seriously one of the best waiters I’ve ever had the pleasure of encountering, he was just so, so, so good. So good that I remember everything about him nearly 15 years later. He was about 5ft 5, 30 year old something, handsome black man, slightly on the podgy side, with a pretty fake but also endearing accent. He had long pleated hair tied right back off his face which added to his cool as fuck demeanour. When I asked him why he called himself ‘The Doctor’ he casually stated, “Its because I’m going to take care of you, of course.” Now, I’d probably think that that’s a bit weird, but I do love when people have a bit of weird in them. Adds a bit of spark into life. Anyway, he recommended the Philly Cheese Steak to me and ever since then I’ve loved it. This recipe has had many changes and adaptions since I first tried to make it. Im pretty sure this version of the sandwich will be the final…ish…

Hey!

So the closest thing we can associate this sandwich to is a Philly Cheese Steak simply because of the cheese and steak combo. Cam first had a creation of this sandwich during his trip to Las Vegas for his 21st Birthday and it’s been his favourite sandwich since then.
