Some people might accuse the Beat Cop’s Guide of being a little biased when it comes to Paterno’s. After all, it’s a neighborhood place, Paul Paterno is a great guy, and the bar doesn’t overcharge the beer or underpour the scotch.
What’s great about Paterno’s is that everything is homemade. I think this includes the gravy in the beef sandwiches, which has a more peppery flavor than some others I’ve had.
The sandwich is called the ”Incredible” and incredible it is. The bread is always fresh, and so are the peppers. At Paterno’s, I get the beef a little less wet than is my usual, because the bread is so good, and I don’t want the gravy to overpower it. Although it’s a bar, many families go to Paterno’s and eat in the simple dining room.
