Every so often one yearns for something authentic to eat. You might crave a slice or two of New York-style pizza, but unfortunately the city is over 400 miles away. Or you may want to taste the world’s finest lobster, but Maine is even further. Nothing quite matches the satisfaction of authenticity from the actual place a food originated, unless you have a cheese steak from A Taste of Philadelphia.
