The Edible Issue is finally here! Now you’ll never miss out on all the fine food West Chester has to offer! We went on a hunt for the borough’s best hoagies, the best Deals on Meals for lunches and dinners, and The War of the Wings, and we compiled our 2017 West Chester Cook Book.
On a Roll: The Hunt for a Better Hoagie
Our writer, Kate Chadwick, reviewed these delicious hoagies in our Edible Issue.
“Any hoagie aficionado will tell you: the roll matters. The contents can vary fairly wildly, but a roll can make or break the thing” — America’s Pie
“Very rare and sliced paper thin, the beef was packed onto an old world-style, dense, chewy roll” — Carlino’s Italian Market
“To me, cheesesteaks and hoagies are two vastly different things, but, like some marriages, this particular sandwich worked well together in spite of itself” — Benny’s Pizza
Deals on Meals
“All you have to do is put $11 down and know you’re covered” — Ryan’s Pub’s $11 lunch special
“Kooma’s salmon teriyaki bento box comes with a salad, two sides, and a California roll, all for only $13. If you’re feeling Mexican, Burrito Loco’s combo special gets you two tacos, chips, and salsa all for $8.25.”
“You can order [Restaurant 51’s] house salad, Caesar salad, mini hummus platter, buffalo chicken wrap, Southwest chicken wrap, chicken Caesar wrap, a burger, or 51’s pork belly street tacos for only $6.”
The War of the Wings
We had our friends review these wings from various West Chester restaurants.
“These are perfect for a party. Not too big, great flavor, tender and juicy” — Walt Taylor on Split Rail Tavern
“They have the ideal amount of barbecue sauce. It’s not overwhelming” — Jack Chovanes on Righteous Tap House
“These are your solid, archetypal wings at a medium heat level” — Alex Roldan on Landmark Americana
