Taste of the week: Filling a Philly need at Angelo’s Subs
A good cheeseburger is a fine meal, but for sheer yummy comfort, nothing beats a cheesesteak hot off the grill. When that craving struck recently, the destination had to be Angelo’s Subs, 3325 28th St., Boulder. Festooned with Philadelphia street signs, college names, sports teams and pictures of fictional boxing legend Rocky, Angelo’s offers the traditional roster of cheesesteaks, chicken parmigiana sandwiches and hoagies (not subs). My seven-inch cheesesteak hoagie was a hot squishy mouthful of steak, American cheese and grilled onions with lettuce, tomato, pickles and mayo on a chewy bun. Cheez Whiz was an option, and sides include fries seasoned with Old Bay.

Words to chew on: Speaking Kitchenese
