South Philly Experience

As our population of food trucks continues to grow, it seems as if every regional dish and cult object of culinary desire will have a rolling outlet of its own. The latest to hit the streets is the South Philly Experience – the creation of South Jersey cousins Jonathan Salvatore and Scott Springfield. Hitting the streets in a truck decorated to look like a brick wall with the Philly skyline on it, the duo offer iconic cheesesteaks with topping options including grilled onions and, yes, Cheez Whiz. Other items include chicken cutlet sandwiches topped with broccoli rabe and roast peppers, roast pork sandwiches, chicken parm and a meatball sub. But it's really the cheesesteaks that keep them truckin'. Oh – and their supply of Tastykakes too. Go to www.southphillyexperience.com or Twitter for info on their whereabouts.
