Trying All Three Michelin Recognized Cheesesteaks in Philly​

Dec 20, 2025
Philly finally has Michelin recognized cheesesteaks, so I went out and tried all three to see how they actually compare.
Dalessandro’s: I ordered a cheesesteak with a mix of American cheese and sharp provolone on a seeded Italian hoagie roll. The roll is soft and traditional, the cheese is balanced, and the beef still comes through clearly. It’s a classic Philly cheesesteak without going overboard, though it could have used a little more seasoning and came off slightly bland. I gave Dalessandro’s an 8 out of 10.
Del Rossi’s: Del Rossi’s is very cheesy. They use Cooper Sharp, and the beef is heavily coated in cheese. The seeded roll is firmer and chewier, which helps hold everything together. The flavor is rich and intense, especially if you like a lot of cheese. I rated Del Rossi’s a 9.5 out of 10.
Angelo’s: Angelo’s uses Cooper Sharp on a seeded Italian hoagie roll from Sarcone’s, lightly toasted for structure. The cheese to meat ratio is dialed in, and the roll adds crunch without overpowering the filling. Everything feels balanced and intentional. Angelo’s earned a 10 out of 10.

In this video I attempt something that I've only cooked together with my girlfriend - Eggs Benedict. Made with Pigs Might Fly back bacon, I can't think of another breakfast which is both extremely involved to make, but absolutely worth the effort.

How to have a perfect Philly day, according to Di Bruno Bros’ Emilio Mignucci​

Emilio Mignucci’s name is synonymous with cheese in Philly. The third generation Di Bruno Bros. owner-turned-vice president of the brand, now owned by Wakefern, lives in Center City but his heart is still in the Italian market. The legendary importer and cheese connoisseur is also a sometime cheese tour guide, taking cheese-obsessed guests on culinary adventures in Europe with Cheese Journeys. But he’s just as passionate a guide in his hometown. Here are his favorite places to grab a bite on a perfect Friday in Philly.

Ex Mob Boss Cooks Authentic Shrimp Alfredo (How to Impress Your Girl)​

Jan 30, 2026
For this Valentine’s Day special I’m back in the kitchen cooking one of my wife’s favorite dishes: real Italian‑style fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp, the way we enjoy it at home. While the pasta’s boiling, I’m telling the story of how we met on a movie set in 1983, why she stood me up the first time, and how a mob guy ended up married to the same woman for 40 years.
We talk about how to recognize a good woman, red flags that tell you she’s not the one, and why being a man means protecting, providing, and showing her she’s special—on Valentine’s Day and every other day. I also share why I believe men should cook for their wives once in a while, what really keeps the spark alive after decades together, and answer questions from my school about mistakes men make in relationships and how I knew Cami was the one.
If you want to steal this Valentine’s idea—fettuccine, roses, chocolates, and a good bottle of wine—I promise it’s an offer she can’t refuse.

Day in the Life of a Private Chef for Future NFL Stars 🏈

Jan 31, 2026 ORANGE COUNTY
Step inside a high-performance NFL training camp where a private chef is responsible for feeding 25 top NFL prospects during their intense 90-day draft preparation camp. In this Day in the Life episode, we go behind the scenes with Chef Beeta to see what it really takes to cook every meal for elite athletes preparing for the NFL Draft and NFL Combine. From macro-balanced meal planning and high-volume food prep to performance nutrition and recovery-focused menus, this is a rare look at the real chef life inside an exclusive football training environment.
You’ll see how future NFL stars are fueled every day with hundreds of pounds of protein, carefully designed meals, and precision timing to support workouts, mobility training, and recovery sessions. This behind-the-scenes look at a private chef for NFL prospects shows the scale, pressure, and purpose behind feeding elite athletes — and answers a question I’ve always had: what do top football prospects actually eat to perform at their best?

Those steaks look good. I don't see huge marbling, but I would be glad to give it a try.
I did not watch the video, but I hope the lady cook understands that medium-rare is the correct way, but rare is also an acceptable option. A good cut speaks on its own with salt and pepper. Garlic and onion can help a lesser cut.
