Sonia's Kitchen-Cheesesteaks and Curb Appeal


I spotted Sonia's seven years ago during the first week I lived downtown. I absolutely loved the bright green and yellow paint job and how unexpected it was to see a cheesesteak place on this corner. Even though I don't eat meat, I couldn't resist checking out the place.

There is an interesting looking vegetarian sandwich option on the menu and even though I am notorious for making poor choices (like the time I ordered the seafood platter in a restaurant in Wendover, Neveda which is located in the middle of a desert) I couldn't bring myself to order a veggie sandwich at a cheesesteak place.  So I engaged the services of a carnivorous guest blogger who went to Sonia's, ordered the pepper, swiss cheese and grilled onion cheesesteak and reviewed it for me.  He said it was great.  The swiss cheese gets all melty and becomes a tasty sauce for the steak and the steak was really good.

Someday I'll order the veggie sandwich.  It can't be as bad as the Wendover seafood platter.

Yum! Eloise and I would have been happy to guest-blog a cheesecake when we come visit next week.

Did margot mean to say "cheesecake"? or was it a foodian slip? We had a cheesesteak place in Tahoe for a while and I loved thier zesty veggie sandwhich, as I'm not much of a steak eater myself!

To Liz, I'm sure it was a "foodian" slip as neither of us likes cheesecake.
