The secret to a great cheesesteak is the roll. It has to be extremely fresh and sturdy enough to stand up to all the beef drippings, but yet not too tough. I also think that provolone is the best cheese option.

@MARCBEA1 Жыл бұрын

@drewt1717 Жыл бұрын

Obviously provolone! 💯 I suppose if you get a cheesesteak regularly, it's nice to have options to prevent getting burned out on just one cheese flavor, but if and when I ever visit Philadelphia to try their cheessteaks, I would want to savor the beef. I already frikn know what Cheese Whiz tastes like, and I've had plenty of cheesesteaks from other places where I live. Provolone complements the steak without being overly loud, letting the meat speak to it's quality and preparation. I could be wrong, but thats currently my (admittedly non-expert) opinion.

John's Roast Pork is the clear winner. Not too fine, not too thick steak. Cheese and onions are mixed through out so you get some in every bite. The bun isn't too thick. All the ratios are in harmony and you get that unctuous, juicy, savory bite - this is the single most important factor. Also, onions are always a must. Optional, but highly recommended, would be hot peppers for that acidity and heat.

as a born and bred philly native, both whiz and american are acceptable on a steak. To me, whiz is more of the downtown/city style and what people from out of town associate cheesesteaks with, but the American cheese is the go to for locals for sure. If someone from Philly is getting themselves a cheesesteak for dinner on friday night they are most likely going to get American cheese. Both are great and honestly even though I have eaten a thousand cheesesteaks I could still probably eat one everyday. They really are a go-to staple for us

Angelo’s is by far the best steak in the city these days imo, but Dalessando’s and Tony & Nick’s are also excellent. I personally think Tony & Nicks has the best bread out of everybody (except Angelo’s of course), but they cook their meat on such low temp it never has that great maillard. Daleddandro’s is the opposite- their meat and onions are cooked to perfection but the bread doesn’t quite keep up. But that’s the beauty of Philly steaks!

If that first spot is right off the highway, I think that was the Tony Luke's I went to back in 2010ish and it was phenomenal . Definitely looks different though. I've never seen them be stingy with the Whiz cheese though so that was weird. Geno and Pat's is a total tourist trap. Less food, and more expensive. Just go to Tony Luke's and you'll never be disappointed.

From an Irish guy Dalessandros looked the nicest to me I agreed with the video that the very fine cut steak has a better chance of blending well with the cheese I feel like that's what makes a great Cheesesteak when the cheese and steak are blending well Genos for example too thick wouldn't blend well but Dalessandros you can tell that's perfectly blended steak and cheese

@MC-gj8fg Жыл бұрын

Video hit it pretty much on the head. John's Roast Pork is the best despite it being the least classical Philly Cheese Steak. Genos and Pat's could have been omitted as sub par tourist trap steaks. There are so many other great cheesesteak spots, such as Angelo's, in Philly that were far more deserving to find a spot on this list.

Man...as a Missourian, I would LOVE to go to Philadelphia just for the cheesesteaks. I'm not a big fan of onions so I would personally swap them out for mushrooms but even then I would try them with onions b/c I wouldn't want to disrespect the tradition.

You can’t go wrong with the roll, so long as it’s not cheap and falling part. There is a time the place was seeded, crispy, and strong, but soaking up the juices.

In the Navy I was stationed in Philly for a couple of years at the shipyard. I always got a kick out of the back and forth over the best cheesesteak. Well, I never got a bad cheesesteak. God bless Philly, the cheesesteak is a beautiful thing. Even the ones you disparage are better than the alternatives anywhere else on Earth. I ate a lot at Oregon Steak, because it was right at the base, and we went by it on the way out, and the smell of cheese steak is like a bee being drawn to a flower. Often my resolve to try a different place was conquered by the smell of steak. Great pizza in Philly too, but cheesesteak is king! BTW, I’m freak. I like onions, mushrooms and peppers with my Whiz on the steak. Only justification for the existence of Cheez Whiz.

Sorry about the second post....Benjamin Franklin is buried with his wife Deborah at Christ Church 340 N 5th St, Philadelphia, PA 19106 (corner of 5th & Arch.) This is the Old City section of Center City Philadelphia. You can view the grave site from the street. It's the grave with all the pennies on it. Why? One of Franklin's most famous adages, “A penny saved is a penny earned,” has, over time, compelled thousands of visitors to toss pennies onto his marble grave marker at the Church Christ Burial Ground at 5th & Arch streets for luck. Also it's traditional for engaged couple to visit and both toss a penny, if it hits and stays on top you'll have a great marriage. Yes my wife and I visited and both got the penny to stay on top, that was 45 years ago and we are going strong!

I love cheesesteaks. Last time in Philly, I made my way out to try Tony Luke's (now Tony and Nick's) and John's Roast Pork. 100% agree, thought John's roast pork was incredible (suprisingly, I thought the roast pork sandwich was kind of bland, but maybe the philly cheesesteak was too good haha). I've got to try Dalessandro's next time!
