The cheeseesteak Anthony Bourdain said

Philadelphia is often considered a home of the world’s largest cheese stoves, and when you consider that the sandwich was created in the city for the first time in the 1930s, this is not a shocking award (although the original cheese steak lacked a decisive ingredient). Some, like the famous celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain, do not agree to this attitude. Instead, Bourdain believed that Donkey’s Place, a restaurant on the other side of the Delaware River in Camden, New Jersey, was as good as (or better) in every cheese steak in the neighboring state.

Bourdain revealed his love for Donkey’s cheeseesteaks in season 5, episode 6 of “parts unknown”, which only reported the kitchen in New Jersey. In it, Bourdain asked whether Philadelphia was really the “center of the cheeseesteak universe” or whether the 80-year-old restaurant in southern New Jersey is probably a better version of the court. “See, the jersey cheeseesteak,” said Bourdain, “it is round, there is steak, spices, tanned onions, real American cheese as it is and a poppy seed role. And it is above.”

What distinguishes Jersey Cheeseesteaks from Philly Cheeseesteaks

Philly Cheeseesteak Diehards – People who know the right way to order a cheese steak – probably think that the idea that New Jersey is doing the dish better is crazy (or how Bourdain puts it treacherously). However, the changes introduced by these jersey cheeseestek manufacturers have proven to be quite appetizing for many sandwich lovers in New Jersey, Philadelphia and beyond. For Bourdain, the Mohn -Kaiser -Roll, which was used at Donkey’s, gave the Jersey Cheeseesteak a more satisfactory taste and texture than the Hoagie Roll or Baguette, which is usually used in Philly. Otherwise, some prefer the cut American cheese in Jersey Cheeseesteaks compared to the Cheez Whiz and Provolone cheese for which the Philly version is known.

Although cheese steaks belong to one of these foods that have a dispute after his mention, Bourdain was not afraid to pull a line into the sand and admit his controversial preference. “This should be a national landmark immediately. This sandwich is incredibly good,” praised Bourdain.
