...And Vesuvio Wins

20070927vesuvio.jpgIt's official: After a long round of votes, the cheesesteak BLT at Vesuvio has been named the best sandwich in America by the Today show:

So I took a bite ... forget about thin slices of pressed steak — this sandwich actually cooks an individual filet mignon, slices it thick and piles it on a ciabatta with provolone, sauteed onions, bacon, lettuce and tomato and a special mayo. Its more of a meal than a sandwich ... and while I still love Pat's, these two sandwiches can't even be fairly compared as the quality of the ingredients at Vesuvio clearly separates it from the traditional cheesesteak!
