But I just can't get past the Philly cheesesteak, a signature item at this pleasant, Miami Dolphins-color sandwich shop. You can get it prepared traditionally: some sautéed onions, mushrooms, and peppers, plus lots of melted cheese. You can have it doused with marinara as a pizza steak.

But any way you slice it... well, you're not gonna want to slice it -- because then you just might have to share.
