The Best Thing I Ate This Week

Philly bao buns, a soup surprise, and a whole fish (w/o July 2)

Philly Cheesesteak Bao Buns at Double Knot

Pioneering what I’m sure will be the next hot food trend of South Philly-Asian fusion, this beautiful dumpling is the culinary blend I never knew I needed. While it’s sure to infuriate both cheesesteak and Chinese food purists, Double Knot’s Philly Cheesesteak Bao Buns take chopped ribeye, onions, and provolone and tucks it inside a bao bun to create the greatest Asian dumpling you’ll ever have. The flavor profiles work seamlessly, since beef-and-onion bao are really nothing new. The provolone adds a little creaminess to the equation, and I’m grateful Double Knot stopped before offering a version wit wiz. —MM
