There are some foods out there that just scream meat, don't you think? For me, the Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich is one of them. The idea of turning a Philly into a vegan sandwich was somewhat baffling to me...at first. But then, I tried the vegan Philly "Cheesesteak" Sandwich at a local restaurant called Block 16. It [...]
