Cheesesteak with Provolone, Sautéed Onions, and Light Pizza Sauce - I wish I could say I liked it, but it was way too salty, and the Provolone was pungent to the point of sin - as sharp a Provolone as I can remember having.

DaveO Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Well I don't know, but it made me think of Le Madeleine, a cafe I used to visit with some frequency and then stopped for what has been years and years. The most recent visit, a few months ago, was sort of charming...and the food was reasonably good, not to mention a strong and distinctive sense between American and French Coffee. I'd return. ...and now....back to the competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
