  • B6 Taste Rachael Hedden Staff Writer A small caf bustling with the sounds of busy workers, eager customers and an alluring aroma of the best Philadelphia Cheesesteaks located anywhere in the south. This is what you will encounter when you visit Sylvas own South of Philly. Located in the 44 EK Sylva Shopping Center, South of Philly brings you the best Philly Cheesesteaks in the south that you will ever eat. Upon entering the store, I was greeted by co-owner and operator, Justin Kirkland. Kirk- land owns and operates the store alongside his mother, Terry Kirkland. Justin explains,My mother was born in Sylva but was raised in Philadelphia. She is very committed to her job. She decided to open South of Philly because there were no other restaurants like this in the area. So on Labor Day of 2012, we had our grand-opening, and it was a huge success. South of Philly uses only the freshest ingredients and takes extreme pride in their work. We get our bread shipped here from Pennsylvania. It is hand-rolled and the company, Amorosos, is Amish-owned. You can really taste the differ- ence in the bread. Our meat is shipped very local, from Asheville, and it is from free-range animals and has zero hormone injections. We use USDA Prime graded meat selections, and that is the highest grade there is. We take extreme pride in our work. Even our vegetables are grown and bought from organic suppliers. Both our veg- etables ; and meats are cut in house. If we can do ae here, we do it. se photographer, Beatles WCU News Services 1964: The Tribute, a band that re-creates _ the early music of the Beatles, will perform at 5 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 9, in the John W. Bardo Fine and Performing Arts Center at Western Caro- lina University. The performance at WCU will take place on the 50th anniversary of the Beatles first appear- ance in the United States. Nearly 74 million people tuned in to watch The Ed Sullivan Show on CBS-TV on Sunday night, THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN Buds: Chris Ward, and I, were seated at a table while we waited on our food to be served. Looking around the restaurant, I noticed several framed pictures of baseball photos and street cafes. There were four tables for seating as well as a booth. The over-. all appearance and atmo- sphere was welcoming and inviting. Oncethe food was served, we were in heaven. The food came : out prepared nicely on traditional paper-lined red baskets. To start, we were served both a tradi- tional Philly Cheesesteak and a Chicken Philly, both loaded with peppers, onions, mushrooms and provolone cheese. The presentation of the food was mouth-watering. The warm, fresh bread was stuffed full of meat and vegetables, and the melted cheese was peeking out the sides. As if this wasnt enough al- ready, we were surprised with two huge baskets full of crisp, seasoned French fries and juicy, sweet, onion rings. And last but certainly not least, both Ward and I were treated to servings of their made in-house macaroni and potato salads. We certainly did not leave hungry, in fact, Ward and I were served so much food that we had to ask for multiple carry- out boxes. South of Philly really outdid themselves and their overall service was impeccable. When Ward was asked what his favorite dish was, he replied that it was the traditional Phila- delphia Cheesesteak. After taking a bite, Ward described it as a perfect blend of steak, provolone, and vegetables. This is hands down the best Philly Cheesesteak I have ever had. __ The Chicken Philly, my personal favorite, was just as great. The combination of succu- FREAD URES South O South of Philly's chicken and Philly cheesesteaks, two of their best-selling sandwiches lent chicken and melted provolone, all smothered together with onions, mushrooms, and green peppers was wonderful.
