In the chef’s kitchen, we head to Charann’s Tavern in Tampa, which recently celebrated its 50th anniversary.
Cook Cory Goeser shows us how they put “Charann’s Cheesesteak – The Tampa Original” together. The restaurant offers eight pepper spice options for this iconic sandwich.
We strongly recommend you go to Charanns Tavern and try how they do it. However, if you want to try it for yourself, we have published the following recipe:
