Weekly dinner specials: Federal Hill and Locust Point

Thursday

MaGerks $4 cheesesteak

Thursday is not the night you want to blow your wad on an expensive dinner. There's just too much booze to be bought in the next couple of days. Enter MaGerks. Swooping in like a rowdy, drunken angel, MaGerks offers manna from heaven in cheesesteak form. This is an extremely popular deal in Federal Hill (i.e. it's freaking packed!). If you want a cheesesteak within an hour, arrive early or expect to wait. The wait isn't bad if you're throwing back beers. MaGerks offers four cheesesteaks, which range from the traditional 9th and Passyunk (served "wit" Cheese Whiz) to the jacked up MaGerk (pictured; cooked salami, fried onions, tomato and Russian dressing). Whichever fits your fancy, you'll be satisfied by the amount of food. An order even comes with a pickle and a bag of Utz potato chips. So, in the end, MaGerks' cheesesteak special really is all that and a.... No! Metromix loves you too much to finish that sentence.
