Gabriel’s Hoagies – Ypsilanti, MI

February 10, 2010

Ahhh, the cheese steak hoagie.   Quite possibly the perfect sandwich.  Thinly sliced steak surrounded by a long hoagie roll and covered in peppers, onions, mushrooms, and of course cheese.  It makes my eyes water just thinking about it.  Since I don’t live in Philadelphia, it always has seemed like I ...

The original establishment graces Depot Town, a wonderful little strip of restaurants and bars just a mile down the road from Eastern Michigan University.

Taco Bell Beefy 5-Layer Burrito

January 13, 2010

I have a system when I go to Taco Bell.  Some might call this the J.O.H.N. system, but I can’t come up with any words that make sense to fulfill that acronym so actually no one calls it that except for me.  I like to order a few different courses ...
