To try and decide each week where and what to eat in and around the basin can be a challenge – there are so many amazing choices. In this feature we’ll dive into dishes that will surely satisfy those hunger pangs and leave you wondering where to go next.

I’m well aware that many of you will see the name of this week’s feature and automatically have a vision of what is (and definitely what isn’t) a Philly Cheesesteak. If you’re one to nitpick, you may want to skip this article because while there are plenty of familiar ingredients, it’s not straight line traditional – and that’s not a bad thing. I’m not one to be insanely particular about what a Philly Cheesesteak should be. Just give me the flavors and vibes that are close enough, make it delicious, and I’ll be happy. And was I ever happy with this week’s feature.

I feel like with this dish we have to start with the stromboli of it all. If you’ve never been to Incline Bak’d then you’re missing out on a sourdough that’s hand crafted in house and beyond amazing in the flavor department. Before getting baked, it’s loaded with chopped sirloin steak, sweet peppers, onions, mozzarella, and provolone cheese.

Now when I tell you this thing is huge, I really need you to believe me. If you’re not bringing your appetite (and a handful of friends) this is going to give you multiple amounts of leftovers. The beef is super tender and rips away perfectly with each bite. The peppers and onions add just the right amount of sweetness and texture, and the cheese is top notch on the gooey factor.

The dough walks the line beautifully between crispy and chewy and even those cheesesteak purists who are die hard team hoagie roll, I bet would give this dough a thumbs up. Even with the size, I found myself not being able to stop eating. I said I was done multiple times but keep coming back for another bite. Eventually, I did eat it all (with the help of my wife) but not before it became super tasty leftovers.

Incline Bak’d is located at 120 Country Club Dr. Ste 28 in Incline Village. For ordering and menu information visit them online at inclinebaked.com or via phone at 775-298-2245.
