That is NOT 7/11 nacho cheese, that is the one, the only, the original Cheese Whiz. It comes in a giant can and is nectar of the gods, especially on fries. Also, you do have other options for your cheese steak. In fact, the people I know rarely get whiz on their steak. Provolone is the most popular, but I'm a fan of American because of the way it melts into the meat. Back in my younger days, of course, I would often go with a "Heart Attack"- all three cheeses together. And, yes, these are the ONLY three acceptable cheeses: provy, whiz and American.

When my wife was alive we decided one Saturday to head down and take a weekend trip to Philly from the Jersey Shore for a Cheesesteak, she saw all about Geno's and Pat's and how they're iconic and wanted to go there to get one, and I told her nah I friend of mine who went to Temple told me to hit up Jim's on South St. So we did. Went upstairs to the dining and probably had one of the best cheesesteaks we ever had. Got the pepper steaks with american. goddamn.

Born and raised in Philly. I haven't been back in over 20 years. Pats and Genos are overrated. They DO NOT make the best cheesesteaks in Philly and the only people who think that are tourists. The best cheesesteaks are made in the neighborhoods by small 'mom and pop' shops not on the tourists routes. Places like Hoagie City on 49th and Lancaster or Sandwich Masters on 56th and Market St ( If they're still there )...or Leandros Pizza in Upper Darby. Also, there are 2 different kinds of cheesesteaks. Pats uses Cheez Whiz ( I don't know about Genos ). The best places use White American Cheese and wafer steak about the consistency of Steakums. You get a clean bite through the Amoroso roll with wafer steak, not the fight with shaved beef that'll pull your roll apart when your teeth get involved in a tug 'o war. Trust me on that..these guys are living on nothing but tourists dollars.

I totally agree! I was in Philly for my niece's wedding, and of course I wanted to try a Philly cheesesteak. So I went to this place because of the rep. Now I want to be clear. It was NOT a bad sandwich. In fact, it was a good sandwich. I am from NY City, so I am used to great heroes. But I remember thinking while eating this hero, "Okay. It's about as good as a cheesesteak hero I can get off a decent food truck or sidewalk vendor here in NY. No better, no worse." Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, since some of the street vendors have awesome food in NY. But I was nonetheless disappointed. I expected a lot more. So I asked a few residents and they gave me the scoop, and sent me to an out of the way place, all the way in South Philly called The Real Tony Luke's (Maybe it was The Original Tony Luke's?). Anyway, this place absolutely blew me away! I was about to order a Cheesesteak, but when I saw roast pork with broccoli-Rabe and fresh provolone, I had to go with that. One of the best sandwiches I ever had in my life. Pat's and Gino's are just mediocre sandwich shoppes making bank on their name, nothing more. Next time I go there I have to try the actual Cheesesteak, because I saw the cooks make them, and they looked like they were practically cramming the meat and cheese into the hero bread with a plunger and a crowbar.

John's Roast Pork is the only place in Philly that you should go out of the way for Cheesesteak. -Made to order, beef is not sitting on the grill being dried out. -they mix the cheese and onions before they put it on the roll so cheese is evenly spread out in each bite. -They use Sarcone seeded rolls I think, or some kind of sesame seeded rolls that's crisp on the outside and light on the inside. -Uses Sharp Provolone by default, but I think white American cheese goes best with it.

I live in Florida and all my Philly buddy’s told me this is one of the tourist traps for a philly. I’m sure they are good but the best? Not by the locals.

Thank you Philadelphians for protecting your city and future tourists in the comments. I'm from Chicago and I really have a hard time warning people when it comes to the touristy food traps. Peace and love to all!

If you really wanna sound "hip" to your friends. You can call it a cheese steak.. no need for the Philly part.. dont know why people say Philly cheese steak.. do youse say "Chicago deep dish"? Just curious, I'm pretty sure I know the answer

@@CarsCatAliens a Philly cheese steak is different than a regular cheese steak. Regular cheese steaks come with a red sauce. You can also get California cheese steaks that come with lettuce tomato and mayo on the roll.

Cool video and wow that's a whole lotta cheesesteaks! I tried both Pat's and Geno's back in the 90's and Pat's was by far the better one. That said....Not even in the top 100 of best cheesesteak places. You should try em to see if YOU like them. Best one for me? Nick's in Saugus, Mass. D'Angelo's Sandwich Shops in New England are usually pretty good too.

Look, if you want to feature Pat's or Geno's that's fine, but calling either the best ANYTHING in Philly other than "Tourist trap steak spot" is just lying to the people.

@shadyshinichi2JZ2 жыл бұрын
Exactly. Its the best tourist cheesesteak spot and I give them and Genos the credit for that. Not the best, everyone has their favorite. But cheesesteaks do not come with pizza sauce, mushrooms, or peppers. Just meat cheese, fried onions with salt pepper and maybe ketchup

I remember watching the travel channel, and seeing that Gino's and Pat's were some of the first few Philly cheese steak places. But reading the comments it says that they're not really the best

@edwardgiovannelli51912 жыл бұрын
They may be the oldest, who knows, but they are tourist traps now and the food is pretty bad. Any corner mom-and-pop- pizza place will make a better cheesesteak.
