I immediately understood the situation to be an initiation, and proceeded to gorge myself (ketchup, mustard, and grease running down to my elbow) before polishing it off, fries and all.

Someone else filled you in on the Woodswether part. I've eaten italian steak sandwiches for years at the Villa Capri at 81st and Metcalf and never really thought about the fact that they don't appear on menus nationwide. They're good sort of an italian version of a tenderloin-hoagie bun style. But, back to Woodswether-nice to know about the Reuben, I've taken to not ordering one because they have gotten to be so bad-and don't try Jason's they tell you it's grilled when it's toasted-big difference! The Woodswether has some THE BEST BREAKFAST AND THE BEST BURGER in town!! And,if you love those fries (and what's not to love) then you'll be blown away by the hashbrowns!!! The Woodswether should go on regular rotation!!foodsnobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15031775363844342466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1889765136853809643.post-28438111420218330602010-02-11T10:25:53.155-06:002010-02-11T10:25:53.155-06:00JJSKC, beef vs. steak.

They have a decent selection of choices for toppings, from blue cheese to jalapeños.<br />And I think you're talking about Italian beef, not Italian steak. The best example I've found in town is at Pizza Man @ 102nd and Pflumm in Lenexa. Pizza is meh, but the Italian beef is really good.JJSKCKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12980532680529123164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1889765136853809643.post-32510562445022973942010-02-10T13:55:07.203-06:002010-02-10T13:55:07.203-06:00Are they "quotes" when the only sound yo...Are they "quotes" when the only sound you make is that which sounds like "yeahh uh huh.."<br /><br />You Italian Steakers are not familiar w/ the Chicago Land version, which seems to be the only Italian Steak I know of. My inlaws and friends from Chicago lament their absence in this region frequently. Sometimes called a chopped beef, they are not breaded(that's for chicken frying), but rather slow cooked in tomatoes, spices, etc. and then served on a respectable hoagie roll of sorts. I'm not an expert on the dish, just familiar w/ it's origins.<br /><br />KC LUnch you had me at homemade fries. I believe that homemade fries have officially usurped the terrible frozen starch pockets that get passed on to us by inferior houses of chow. I have begun to scoff at a menu that doesn't include fresh cut fries. Sad, I know, but the market has done it. Once you go home cut.....well you know...<br /><br />Wished you had included a burger in the review. On a quest to make up for the travesty the Flea Market passed on to me recently.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1889765136853809643.post-20376870202240608312010-02-09T08:33:53.556-06:002010-02-09T08:33:53.556-06:00Stack's at 3828 N.

I've never seen italian steaks anywhere outside of north central Missouri and the immediate Kansas side. Hardly anyone serves them anymore. I'll definitely try one at Jerry's. <br /><br />The proper italian steak of my childhood was a very thin, breaded and fried slice of veal or beef that was served rolled in a large hoagie bun, with red sauce, cheese, lettuce, tomato and onion.karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15666344166624322067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1889765136853809643.post-36607171679035893072010-02-09T08:29:47.274-06:002010-02-09T08:29:47.274-06:00Glad you got to try this place out.

Usually just tenderized steak covered in light breading and seasoning. They are big, but mainly leave you disappointed and burping garlic the rest of the day.

It basically acts as a cafeteria for the nearby office buildings, but is actually a great restaurant with huge portions and a great price.
