Being a meal filled with all my favorite things, it was natural that I would be drawn to it. That was how it was when I first read about Elbert’s Cheesesteak opening at Rockwell mall. Too bad we had recently transferred office locations so it wasn’t that easy to sneak in lunch at Rockwell. When the chance presented itself, I grabbed it hoping to satisfy my curiosity about the place and because my friends keep telling me its soooo good.

I opted to share an American cheesesteak sandwich with a colleague as I wasn’t too sure how big the whole thing was and doubted I could finish it. That was a mistake. I soon discovered I was at my last bite of my sandwich and I was still craving for more.

The beef slices were oh so tender, almost melt in your mouth. The cheese did not overpower the taste of the beef and the onions! I cannot even describe how lovely the onions were combined with everything else. The one surprise I got was how soft the bread was. I was fully expecting to have my teeth gnaw on the bread and get my jaw locked while trying to consume my sandwich. But it wasn’t like that at all. The bread was definitely crusty and looked like your typical baguette but so much easier to eat making the overall experience totally awesome.

The downside I think to the whole thing is that on my next visit, I will now have to shelve out almost Php 400 bucks just to enjoy Elbert’s cheesesteak. I don’t mind but I am guessing not many will have the budget on it even if it does taste awefully good.
