Philly Cheese Steak, or commonly known as cheese steak or cheese steak sandwich, is basically a sandwich made from thinly sliced pieces of grilled beef steak and melted cheese in a long hoagie roll. It is a popular street food and fast food among Americans. As the name implies it has strong roots in city of Philadelphia.

The cheese steak originally was invented by Pat Olivieri, a hotdog stand owner, which on one occasion decided to make a new sandwich consist of chopped beef and grilled onions. It is soon became very popular and the owner opened up his own restaurant, which still operates today known as “Pat’s King of Steaks”, that sells this cheese steak sandwich.

The cheese steak main features are the beef, the rolls and the cheese. Beef used are traditionally rib eye or top round. The rolls are traditionally long, soft and slightly salted. And the cheese used originally is American Cheese, Provolone, or Swiss Cheese.

Some variations of the cheese steaks are chicken cheese steak, pizza cheese steak (topped with marinara sauce, mozzarella cheese and finished in broiler) and vegan cheese steak (replaces beef with mushroom or seitan and soy-based cheese)

OTTIMMO – Many assume modern or contemporary foods contain ingredients that are not good for health. But in fact it is not the case, because even modern food can be created while still paying attention to the nutrition in it.

Pasta with Pesto Sauce for example. This Italian food does look like ordinary spaghetti noodles and green sauce. But let’s make no mistake, because it also contains high nutritional value, such as walnuts, spinach, basil leaves, mixed with olive oil.

Pasta with Pesto Sauce is a food demonstration in a workshop commemorating National Nutrition Day by the East Java Provincial Health Office. This annual event was held on February 24, 2020 involving all health offices in East Java and students.

OTTIMMO International took part in the event by holding a cooking demo by Chef Ryan Jeremia Iskandar. “We chose Pasta with Pesto Sauce because this food is popular with millennials and is no stranger to Indonesia,” said Chef Jerry.

In addition, said Chef Ryan during a demonstration on the third floor of the East Java Health Office Building, “It also contains high nutritional value, including vitamins A, C and K found in spinach, essential eugenol oil in basil leaves, walnuts that contain fat Omega 3.”

As a modern culinary academy, OTTIMMO does not only educate students to be able to cook. But furthermore, it also understands the nutrition contained in the food it cooks, in accordance with the demands of the modern culinary world.

And, as an educational institution, OTTIMMO also has the responsibility to provide information to the public about healthy food. Including healthy food for millennial generation that was demonstrated at an event at the East Java Health Service. (*)
