These two great cheeseteak places are both located on Browning Road just a few miles apart, and it\’s probably a good thing that located between them on the same road are two national based fitness gyms, Planet Fitness Brooklawn, and RetroFitness in Bellmawr. We\’re going to need to work off those extra pounds before summer really kicks in!
Unfortunately, I am gluten-free and have to pass on these delicious sandwiches, but I have my own favorite Gluten Free places and sandwiches… so maybe I\’ll do my own best GF food search. 🙂
