In the Chef's Kitchen, we head to Charann's Tavern in Tampa, which recently celebrated 50 years in business.
Cook Cory Goeser shows us how they put together "Charann's Cheesesteak — The Tampa Original." The restaurant offers eight pepper spice options for this iconic sandwich.
We highly suggest you head to Charann's Tavern and try it how they make it, but if you want to give it a go yourself, we've posted the recipe below:
