What Are These So-Called 'Cheese' Fries?
 |
Question to our Keystone State readers: What is it with this Pennsylvania fetish for bizarre world food combinations? In Johnstown, this New Yorker encountered the artery-clogging prospect of cheese-fries.
Cheese fries! I'm about the pickiest eater there is (natch) and even I don't think cheese fries are all that strange of a food. Does the NYT's Michael Powell know that some people eat cow tongue?
Update: Wait a sec. "And in Philadelphia, my college son Nick tells me they serve up a sandwich called the Roethlisberger, named after the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback[.]" That doesn't make any sense. Where do they serve the Roethlisberger in Philadelphia?

If they want weird food they should come to the UK. It sounds like they would enjoy a Chip Butty!

I love a good chip butty, although I limit myself to about one a year (and they are available all over NYC, although I doubt the NY Times is aware of that). Wish I could find a good one in Philly...

Any short order place that does sandwiches and fries will do you a chip butty
