Casapulla's with cheese

Went to Casapulla's Hockessin for lunch recently and discovered that it now offers cheese sauce as a steak topping.

Any thoughts? Just like there are the two camps of "chopped" vs. "not chopped" when it comes to cheese steaks, this can be a touchy subject, too. Some say putting cheese sauce (such as Cheez Whiz) on a cheese steak is heresy. Others say it's the only way to go.

I don't mind. For me, it matters where I am going. If I'm getting a steak at a place in south Philly, then Whiz it is for me.

At Casapulla's, I'll get provolone, the cheese that many say should be the only cheese put on a steak. I like the pepperoni Casapulla's uses, too. So, that was my recent lunch, seen above, a baby steak with provolone cheese and pepperoni.

Not sure if other Casapulla's locations are offering cheese sauce. But, it's interesting to see Casapulla's give it a try. I might try it next time I go there, though I am already thinking it just won't seem right with the rest of that classic Casapulla's taste (Casapulla's Hockessin, 1216 Old Lancaster Pike, (302) 234-7827).

As for the rest of my lunch, I was ready to give a big thumbs up to the Herr's Peanut Butter-filled Pretzels. Simply delightful, until I read the dreaded nutrition facts.

600 calories. The whole bag, four ounces, is 600 calories.

Not that Herr would dare to slap a 600 on the label. No, in the worst violation I have ever seen of the servings per container abuse, Herr's treads into new ground with a 4.

Yep. They think the 99-cent, four ounce bag is just your typical four servings. Shame on Herr for this one. They're on mini-boycott for now, even against those corn chips I like so much.

At least I went healthy with my Fuze Strawberry Melon drink. Lots of neat vitamins (who knew we need Chromium?) and only 10 calories per serving (which meant 20 for the bottle, as it seems everyone who writes these labels loves to cut numbers at least in half). What's next? Bag of chips, serving size one chip, servings per container 65?
