I ain’t gonna lie That looks like hard work

[@eatingood]

Haha The man took a lot of time perfecting the technique

[@bettycrocker3425]

The Calozzie in Georgetown is the Best Philly Ive had in Seattle area. You dont feel gross after eating like sometimes do w/other garbage fake phillie spots. Good ingredients.

[@eatingood]

My man!

[@mr.tomraypaz6085]

Those look so mouthwatering! So delish! I also noticed somebody in there appears to be a Van Halen fan.

[@eatingood]

Al is the man! That’s forsure!

To the East Coast haters.The Owner is From Philly! He got the accent to go w/it. Quit haten kuz u see a 🔥🔥 ass Cheese Steak that SLAPS 98% of the Philly’s in Philly (& reast of east coast) being made , lookin better than most of what u seen,& sold on west coast.. all sudden “its not official kuz its not in Philly, ect ect

[@eatingood]

Forreal you speaking my language 💪🏾

[@Notsogrim]

... are those Steak-umm's...

[@eatingood]

From what I saw when I was there is that it was sliced beef from a local butcher shop. Frozen until it an order is placed. Then when they cook it the moisture from the frozen beef allows them to chop the beef up real good. It definitely isn’t steak-ums, thats forsure. I should’ve gotten the meat prep in this video. Will add it in the next video I make like this.

[@KingJT80]

Rotght down the street from where i work. Ive known about it for a while. time to go get one.. Born and raised in south Seattle but live in Everett now. We have erwins philly cheese up here. Its a corner store basically but this also looks 👍🏿

So good!

[@JohnDoe-xo3lr]

The owner is a nice guy and workers make great cheesesteaks. I grew up on Super Sub on the North Shore and I go back there every year, Calozzi’s steaks are better than Super Sub now imho.

[@eatingood]

Yo! Al would love to hear this!

[@trashpanda2312]

great, now I am hungry...lol

[@eatingood]

You and me both!

[@christianhansen3292]

Lol you have to try the cheesesteak! All that playin makes the final product so incredibly good!

[@starcruze328]

If you ever get down to San Jose, try Amato's on Saratoga Avenue. Closest thing you'll get to a real Philly cheesesteak without having to get on a plane. GO EAGLES!

I second that. Too bad san jose has more homeless than normal folks now. Smh

[@esantiagoinciarte]

I disagree, I don't know if it's the bread or what but every single time I get aMatos I'm disappointed.

[@mrlaw711]

I, personally, do not like them putting the cheese spread on top, and then having it smeared all over the paper and foil. Serve them straight up like in Philly.

[@eatingood]

They have two styles. One is the cheese whiz and the other is the cheese slices/shreds. The second half of the video highlights the cheese shreds/slices.

[@eatingood]

Check out the 4min to 5min mark that’s where they use regular cheese!

[@brkjeff5770]

Salt, pepper, fried onion & american cheese. Let the slit bun sit over the meat & cheese on the grill for a min. to warm & soften then scoop and turn with spatula. That's the Philly way. These still look good. Props

[@eatingood]

Ayyyee! My man knows what’s up! Al Calozzi is from Philly, so you know he had to represent it with the real cheesesteaks on the west coast!

[@PardoNajera]

Van Halen!!! Guaaaaaauuuuu

[@PersonaXlll]

I can appreciate a good steak outside of Philly, I prefer mayo on the bottom of my rolls and cooper sharp or american, this looks really good!

[@eatingood]

Never thought about trying mayo at the bottom. Going to have to give that a shot!

[@PersonaXlll]

@@eatingood Every papi/corner store and most pizzeria's will ask you if you'd like it... Here in Philly most cheesesteaks you get from non-cheese steak places be just as good and accommodate your request, highly recommend that mayo!

[@marvinm8446]

The Philly cheesesteak is very delicious 🥪🥩🧀😊🥰😋.

[@eatingood]

Seriously! Everyone in Seattle has to try!

[@knowthyself903]

Using real steak, such as thinly sliced ribeye or sirloin, is essential for making an authentic Philly cheesesteak for several reasons: 1. Flavor: Real steak offers a richer, beefier flavor compared to processed alternatives like Steakums. 2. Texture: Authentic steak provides a tender, juicy, and slightly crispy texture that enhances the overall experience. 3. Tradition: Philly cheesesteaks originated with thinly sliced, grilled ribeye steak, and using real steak preserves the tradition. 4. Quality: Real steak ensures a higher quality and more satisfying sandwich. 5. Regional Pride: Using authentic ingredients is a source of pride for those in Philadelphia, where the cheesesteak is an iconic dish. In summary, the choice of real steak is crucial for maintaining the taste, texture, and cultural significance of an authentic Philly cheesesteak.

I can't call this a Philly style cheese steak. Around Philly, we just call them steaks.

[@eatingood]

Cool

[@murderwitahashtag840]

And cheese is not SHREDDED! main choices are American and provelone, by the slice I PERFER MOZZERELLA!! 215 OFFICIAL

[@MACKCHIEV100]

NOT PHILLY STYLE AT ALL. WE DO CALL THEM CHEESE STEAKS. WHEN I WAS COMING UP DOWN PHILLY IN THE 70'S AND 80'S WE HAD WHITE AMERICAN CHEESE, SWEET AND HOT PEPPERS, ONIONS, COOKED WITH KETCHUP AT SOME PLACE'S.

[@ahhason]

@@MACKCHIEV100 The original is called steaks. Back in the day they didnt even put cheese on it till one day they decided to and it became popular. The original cheese used was provolone and then whiz was used and became the staple of a "Philly Cheesesteak" one whiz wit please. If you are a Philly native you call them "steaks" the further away from philly you go the more they start calling them cheesesteaks then even further hey call them Philly cheesesteaks. In other countries they call them Philadelphia Cheesesteak. Go figure.

[@MACKCHIEV100]

THANKS FOR THE HISTORY.@@ahhason

[@UrbanAlchemystic]

I'm going to have to see what this one is all about. I've only tried Philly's Best in Long Beach California and then I tried Charlie's steaks and Lynnwood I believe. I like Philly's Best better than Charlie's Steak for some reason they put pickles and tomatoes in my stuff and I was sadly mistaken.😅 Philly's Best I dunno it's owned by Bonafide Philadelphian and you can even see the culture of the city all over the walls. I remember their steaks being very good. This one looks delicious❤ I haven't had a decent steak in a while. I used to like Jersey Mike's but not anymore

[@eatingood]

This one is a must try. Al brought it from Philly to Seattle and I can say it’s definitely a gift from the universe!

[@3XBgaming]

If you are in Socal you should try South Philly Experience

[@raymiller1753]

Not sure how I feel about the pepperoni. It might be good, but it's not what I'm looking for in a cheesesteak. I'd still try it though.

[@eatingood]

The Roni is so good! It’s definitely a different type of Cheesesteak but they have multiple styles including the original steak sandwich. I choose to have the pepperoni cheesesteak to be featured in this video because it’s my favorite lol Highly recommend stopping by whenever your in Seattle!

[@ButcherBird-FW190D]

Looks solid, very well done. Only thing I'd change ? Well, I'm not sure on the pepperoni. Looks good, though. RE: The cheese, I'd use parmesan. The whiz works but parm is optimal. Looks great in total, though.

👍👍👍👍

[@MooseMeus]

parmesan on a philly cheesesteak... go away

[@ButcherBird-FW190D]

@@MooseMeus Well, Sir.... I hear your point. The whiz works pretty well, no doubt. -And noting, I am from Arizona, so my ability to comment on Philly cheesesteaks is limited. Granted... I am just saying that I preferred the parmesan cheese over the cheese whiz. Take care and Peace.

Im betting he worked at Dalessandros & went to the spectrum to see VH

It looks good.. Is it better then Gino's or about the same?

[@eatingood]

I think it’s unique in its own way! Al Calozzis puts a little bit of his own twist to it. Like my favorite sandwich here is the “Roni”. That one is a beef steak with pepperoni, onions and cheese. It’s pretty delicious! If your ever in Seattle swing by and try it out.

[@grizzlylaws8374]

Gino’s is trash ah tourist trap Frfr

I prefer a plain steak, not so chopped up to meat crumbs, no pepperoni, xx onions, pepper, ketchup and mustard😋

[@broomz9384]

Those prices are ridiculous 😮

[@eatingood]

Well worth it 😬

[@knowthyself903]

When preparing Philly cheesesteaks, it's crucial to use authentic steak rather than Steakums. That sandwich doesn't look appetizing; we're from the East Coast, and we prefer real steak over Steakums. Stop being cheap 😢😢😢😢😢
