Pope Greenwich Village Italian Sub Sandwich

 




Mickey Rourke and Eric Roberts are coming out of Joe's Dairy in Greenwich Village
New York. In the movie The Pope of Greenwich Village this little Italian Cheese Store that
specializes in fresh homemade Mozzarella which is along with fresh made Italian Sausages precious commodities in the Italian-American Enclave. This real life Italian Cheese Shop was fictionalized as 
Jimmy The Cheeseman's Shop in the Pope of Greenwich Village which starred Mickey Rourke as Charlie Morant, and Eric Roberts as his cousin Paulie. Here we find Charlie and Paulie going into the cheese shop so Paulie can buy some fresh Mozzarella, Salami, and Prosciutto to make an Italian Sandwich. They then go next door to the real life Zampiere's Bakery which operated two shops in Greenwich Village for years, providing the local Italians with fresh baked Italian Bread and Pastries. Sadly these two wonderful establishments no longer exist, but thanks to this wonderful movie based on the book Pope of Greenwich Village by Vincent Patrick who does a great job capturing some real Greenwich Village Village character.

A BRIEF HISTORY of The PHILLY CHEESE STEAK


The story of the Philly cheesesteak begins in the heart of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in the early 20th century. Legend has it that Pat Olivieri, a hot dog vendor, decided to try something new by grilling some thinly sliced beef on his grill for his own lunch. The aroma wafted through the air, enticing passersby with its irresistible sizzle. A taxi driver, drawn by the aroma, asked Pat to make him a sandwich with the mouthwatering meat. And just like that, the Philly cheesesteak was born. Sort of. The original sandwich made by Pat only had chopped beef and onions, no cheese.

As the popularity of this delectable creation spread, Pat Olivieri’s humble hot dog stand transformed into a bustling destination for locals and tourists alike. With each satisfied customer, the fame of the Philly cheesesteak grew, solidifying its status as a true culinary icon.

While sauteed onions have long been the traditional topping, the inclusion of peppers became popular as a customization among the newer vendors and restaurants offering the sandwich, adding a bit of Italian flair.

When you’re considering the true moment of the philly cheesesteak origin, you need to look at when someone added the cheese. The cheese wasn’t added until the 1940s when restaurant manager, “Cocky Joe” Lorenza at Pat’s King of Steaks added some provolone to the mix.
The key to an authentic Philly cheesesteak lies in the meat. Traditionally, thinly sliced rib-eye steak is used, known for its tender texture and rich flavor. The steak is cooked on a hot griddle, sizzling to perfection. The result is a juicy, flavorful filling that becomes the star of the sandwich. Today, the Philly cheesesteak meat can be found in various cuts and even chicken or vegetarian options, but the original recipe still holds a special place in the hearts of cheesesteak connoisseurs.

WHAT is a CHEESESTEAK

Meat


The meat traditionally used is thinly sliced Rib-Eye or top round, although other cuts of beef are also used. On a lightly oiled griddle at medium temperature, the steak slices are quickly browned and then scrambled into smaller pieces with a flat spatula. Slices of cheese are then placed over the meat, letting it melt, and then the roll is placed on top of the cheese. The mixture is then scooped up with a spatula and pressed into the roll, which is then cut in half.


Bread

In Philadelphia, cheesesteaks are invariably served on hoagie rolls. Among several brands, perhaps the most famous are Amoroso rolls; these rolls are long, soft, and slightly salted. One source writes that "a proper cheesesteak consists of provolone or Cheez Whiz slathered on an Amoroso roll and stuffed with thinly shaved grilled meat,"  while a reader's letter to an Indianapolis magazine, lamenting the unavailability of good cheesesteaks, wrote that "the mention of the Amoroso roll brought tears to my eyes."  After commenting on the debates over types of cheese and "chopped steak or sliced", Risk and Insurance magazine declared, "The only thing nearly everybody can agree on is that it all has to be piled onto a fresh, locally baked Amoroso roll.


Cheese

American cheese, provolone, and Cheez Whiz are the most commonly used cheeses or cheese products put on to the Philly cheesesteak.

White American cheese, along with provolone cheese, are the favorites due to their mild flavor and medium consistency. Some establishments melt the American cheese to achieve the creamy consistency, while others place slices over the meat, letting them melt slightly under the heat. Philadelphia Inquirer restaurant critic Craig LaBan says, "Provolone is for aficionados, extra-sharp for the most discriminating among them," although LaBan was at the time new to the Philadelphia area, and sharp provolone is rarely found in cheesesteak shops, while mild provolone is common. Geno's owner, Joey Vento, said, "We always recommend the Provolone. That's the real cheese."

Cheez Whiz, first marketed in 1952, was not yet available for the original 1930 version, but has spread in popularity. A 1986 New York Times article called Cheez Whiz "the sine qua non of cheesesteak connoisseurs." In a 1985 interview, Pat Olivieri's nephew Frank Olivieri said that he uses "the processed cheese spread familiar to millions of parents who prize speed and ease in fixing the children's lunch for the same reason, because it is fast." Cheez Whiz is "overwhelmingly the favorite" at Pat's, outselling runner-up American by a ratio of eight or ten to one, while Geno's claims to go through eight to ten cases of Cheez Whiz a day.

TOTONNO'S PIZZA NAPOLTANO

CONEY ISLAND, BROOKLY

NEW YORK



TOTONNO'S


​Zagat once claimed of Totonno Pizzeria Napolitana (totonnos.com), “Only God makes better pizza.” And this legendary pizzeria has certainly received its share of cult-like worship since its beginnings in 1924, when Anthony “Totonno” Pero opened his own pizzeria in Brooklyn’s Coney Island (he had trained for years as a pizzaiolo at the legendary Lombardi’s in Manhattan and had a place across the street before moving to the current location). An Italian immigrant who was a baker in Italy, he developed his own pizza recipe, which is still followed today: “imported Italian tomatoes; a dry mozzarella that’s made especially for us, with very little salt; and olive oil,” says Louise Ceminieri, granddaughter of Anthony, who co-owns the shop with her brother and sister, Frank Ceminieri and Annette Balzano. “The recipe, combined with the coal-fired brick oven we use, creates its own unique taste.”

This recipe remains unchanged even despite wildly fluctuating prices (Louise recalls paying up to $127 for four cans of olive oil and $90 for a bag of flour), and she prides herself on not cutting corners—easier since the family owns the building and, according to Louise, “never spent five cents on advertising.” She also partially credits Americans’ insatiable desire for pizza. “Pizza is going to make money, no matter what kind you make, because people love it so much,” she says. It doesn’t hurt, however, that Totonno appears in dozens of cookbooks and guidebooks the world over—the pizzeria even won an America’s Classics award from the James Beard Foundation in 2009. 

In the ’90s, the pizzeria began expansion, opening two locations in Manhattan by licensing with partners, but the original location suffered a setback in 2009 when a fire destroyed part of the restaurant. However, the family persevered and reopened in February 2010, much to the relief of fans worldwide, and the pizzeria remains the longest-operating in one location in the United States. “We had to rebrick and reinsulate the oven, and I was really afraid that the pizza wouldn’t taste the same,” Louise remembers. “But we made some test pizzas before we opened, and I said, ‘Could it be possible that it tastes even better?’"
