Three new places in the last month or so; great news.

1st - Pappa Geno's Famous Philly Cheesesteaks

Where Mary Lee donuts used to be, at Ella and West T.C. Jester
(in the strip center on the fringe of the Foodarama parking lot).

Philly cheesesteaks, hoagies and burgers (plus chicken sandwich/
salad/strips). The spicy cheesesteak was really good, and huge.
The fries were food service, but real potato and cooked to
order. My father-in-laws hamburger looked really good, too.
Just the sort of neighborhood sandwich place every neighborhood
needs.

2nd - Los Fabianes

Where Yen Jing used to be, on West T.C. Jester in the
same strip center with the vet, Subway and K. C.s.

Fresh build out, good chips, really good tortillas. The
green sauce was excellent, and the red sauce didn't
do much for me. Good carnitas, tolerable carne
asada (mine came with cheese, which I most certainly
did not ask for), and nobody had the enchiladas, so
a second trip is in order. I really like the carne asada
at Los Nopalitos, and the enchilidas at Juanita's, so
this will probably be where I go if I want carnitas
or puerco asada or agujas. Their grilled meat platters
(a nearby table got parillada pa' quatro) looked really
really good.

3rd - Gatlin's BBQ

Where Jazzie Cafe used to be, on 19th. Reminds
me of the Jazzie a lot; really friendly, really nice
people that I am pretty sure don't know how to
run a restaurant. Could be a good place for a
sandwich at lunch. I ordered by weight, and
think the butcher has a heavy thumb.
