Mulligan's Cheese Steak

I went to a University of Dayton happy hour and Friday night at Mulligan’s in Hyde Park. The place was packed like I hadn’t seen since March Madness, so I’m guessing they raised a lot of money for the holiday charity they were supporting.

I had spent most of the night making a fool of myself by drinking on an empty stomach. After I realized that everything I was saying wasn’t as funny as I thought, I realized I needed some food.

Penn Station is nearby, and I considered walking across the street to get some. But, Man!, it was cold out. So I ended up ordering a Philly Cheese Steak from Mulligan’s.

Now, I realize I’d probably had a little too much to drink to accurately give you a good review of the sandwich. But I can tell you that it did the job. It tasted great at the time and sopped up some of that alcohol in my tummy.

I’ve had all sorts of Philly Cheese Steaks, though never in Philly. So I feel like I can judge the imitations, but I can’t compare it to the real thing. This is a good imitation.

No roasted peppers, which I don’t like anyway. Too few grilled onions. But good cheese and well cooked meat. I finished it very quickly. It came with pickle slices, and I finished those too.

So, do you think I should have braved the cold to reach Penn Station? And what’s your favorite meal when you need to fill up your stomach for drinking purposes?
