Macnow's cheesesteak challenge

[Sgt PSN]

27. Lou’s, 414 East Main Street, Norristown, 610-279-5415.
Lou’s is a neighborhood dive of Formica table tops and tile floors – and understand, when we say “dive,” we mean it with affection. Some of the best meals come from the most modest of places. This is the home of Norristown’s famous “Zep,” which is a round hoagie spinoff that’s best with salami and lots of onions.

We hoped the cheesesteak would be equally special but, alas, it was no better than good. The meat was rather dry and would have benefited from a nice infusion of grease. The roll was best described as generic – not up to the standards of some other great bread we’ve had along this trail. Two plusses, however: Lots of melted cheese running through the sandwich, and some of the best onions we’ve had.

We’ve come to regard onions as the Jon Runyan of the cheesesteak – underrated and unappreciated, but essential to the success of the whole. When they do their job, the sandwich works. At Lou’s, the onions are sweet, carmelized and plentiful. Unfortunately, while the onions were Pro Bowl level, too much of the rest of the sandwich performed like Reggie Brown and L.J. Smith.

I used to go to Lou's a lot growing up and pretty much agree with everything Macnow says about it.  The steaks are ok but have plenty of cheese.  The bread never seemed all too fresh though.  Which is weird because the rolls they use for their Zeps are delicious.  

Also, mushrooms on cheesesteaks>>>>>>>>>onions.

Nothing says quality quite like a processed cheese spread.
