The Philly to LA exodus is well-documented: you’re born and raised, spend most of your days chilling out max on a playground, and, when a couple of guys start making trouble in your neighborhood, you move out West, get deep into Scientology and marry that Matrix chick that did Laurence Fishburne. Though others might just start a cheesesteak truck, like South Philly Experience.
Just getting rolling, SPE is a new sandwich truck dedicated to replicating the flavors of the region that bears its name, run by recently-transplanted cousins who worked together in an Italian restaurant back home, yet somehow managed to actually move out of their mothers’ houses anyways. Illadelphness starts with sandwiches like traditional cheesesteak with or w/o onions plus provolone, American, or wiz; chicken cutlet w/ spinach, broccoli rabe, or roasted peppers; roasted pork w/ cheese or greens; and meatball and chicken parm subs; all are served on classic rolls imported from the Philly bakery Amoroso, a process that everyone agrees was a total bitch. Sides include fresh cut fries, meatballs, peppers, spinach, and rabe, as well as three varieties of the hard-to-find TastyKakes: the chocolate-covered Peanut Butter Kandy Kake, moist Butterscotch Krimpets, and straight-up chocolate cupcakes, which spend their downtime depressed that they’re not loved enough to misspell.
The truck’ll hit surprise stops “somewhere on or around Melrose” this weekend, with location Tweeting starting next week — track them down then, or just wait for them to hit Bel Air, and smell ‘em later.
South Philly-style cheese steaks will be the next item joining Los Angeles’ ever-expanding roster of nouveau food trucks. The South Philly Experience is set to roll out in two to three weeks — if all goes as planned for cousins Jonathan Salvatore and Scott Springfield. The pair now live in Santa Monica but grew up “just across the bridge from Philly” in south New Jersey.
As its name suggests, the South Philly Experience will offer South Philadelphia-inspired sandwiches: meatball subs, chicken cutlets, pulled pork with broccoli rabe and, of course, cheese steaks. Made on bread that will be shipped from the popular Amoroso’s Baking Co. in Philadelphia, the sandwiches will cost $8 to $11.
“Out here, we can’t find the sandwiches we’re used to back home,” Salvatore says. “Our sandwiches will all have homemade, authentic, fresh ingredients. There’s nothing frozen or pre-made about them.”
You can also get a side of French fries, and to please East Coast transplants hungry for a treat that’s rare in Southern California, dessert will come in the form of Tastykakes. Specifically, the truck will sell Peanut Butter Kandy Kakes, Butterscotch Krimpets and chocolate cupcakes.
