NO B. S. Authentic PHILLY CHEESESTEAKS on the Blackstone Griddle

I hear you loud and clear when you shout at me in the comments about "That's not a Philly Cheesesteak!". Well, today I'm making an authentic Philly Cheesesteak, and I've got an actual real deal Pat's King of Steaks cheesesteak sandwich straight from Philadelphia to compare it to!
I even bought a master case of the Amoroso Italian rolls to try and make my Blackstone cheesesteaks as authentic as possible. And I get it now... the rolls DO make a HUGE difference!
All 3 of the Blackstone Philly Cheesesteaks that I made were fantastic - the Pat's King of Steaks cheese steak, my replica of that one, and my version with all 3 cheeses and my favorite all purpose seasoning. You can't go wrong with these griddle cheesesteaks!
*Don't yell at me about not ordering the Whiz from Pat's... To be honest, I'm not a huge fan of Cheez Whiz, and technically, provolone was the first cheese to be used on a Philly decades ago.

Understandable to want to give an authentic Philly cheesesteak it’s due. There is so much more when it is made by your own hands. You have every reason to be proud of your cheesesteak vs the “real” thing. BRAVO!

Thank you...appreciate that

With the internet and KZbin it’s easier to get a clearer picture of a Philly style cheesesteak…..Back in the 90s, it was of course much more difficult if you never been to Philly

[@sonnykey9673]

Once again, I’ve learned so much watching you guys. I never knew a Philly cheesesteak didn’t have peppers and required a specific bread. Thanks so much for sharing.

Oh man Sonny just look at comments.....really get hounded by the cheesesteak police...

[@sonnykey9673]

@@TheFlatTopKing I suppose it’s no different than the BBQ debate in KC. The battle between Gates or Arther Bryant’s bbq. Are they the best? Probably not but they are the oldest. For me I’m all good until people start assigning the burnt end tag to anything but the point of a brisket. But these days I try and bite my tongue. I may know the difference but people need to be allowed to express themselves through food. LOL we all have our personal idiosyncrasies. Anyway I appreciate all you two do.

[@ramencurry6672]

You can put peppers on a cheesesteak but it’s actually not common in Philly but it definitely does exist. Some places in Philly have good quality house made hot peppers and it works.

[@cedaroakfarm8596]

There are so many Griddle PHD's out there, sometimes it's hard to get through the smoke and really see the experts, you don't have that problem. Your versions are normally cranking the flavor and taste up from any baseline and one the average griddler can master very easily. You two keep doing what you are doing, unmatched.

Love that you responded to comments and made it as authentic as you can. I was born in Philly and visit yearly. My family likes Jim's Steaks and go there when we visit. I liked the rough chop of the onions like Jim's and my go-to is the whiz-wit. That being said, your 3 cheese version looked amazing. I agree that the roll makes a huge difference. Whenever we make cheese steaks at home, we continue to try to find something that compares (and haven't found the answer yet).

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Absolutely spot on...we thought that the bread mad the biggest difference...really was the key and like you have come close into finding a compromise...

[@lucabrasi5070]

Jim’s burned down last year. They say they’re rebuilding soon.

[@tomdelaney19464]

Awesome video, I live in Philly, the key to making a Philly steak is shaved ribeye on a long, somewhat crusty sesame steak roll with Cooper sharp with long hots! That simple ! Tourists go to Genos and Pat's- its okay but there are so many places that do it better! It's like ordering from a Domino's in NY -technically it's a NY pizza because they are in NY but it's not really a NY pie

[@TheFlatTopKing]

I want to try the Cooper Sharp...dont have that around here..plus I love the addition on the long hots...

[@trapin68]

My son and I went to Philadelphia in 2019 to see a concert at the Union Transfer and while there we asked the locals where was the best place to get a Cheesesteak. Nearly every one of them said to avoid Pats King of Steaks. We were very surprised to hear that. They called it a tourist trap. The one place that kept coming up in their recommendations was a place called Sonny's, so we went there. It was awesome. An added bonus was my son got chewed out by one of the cooks for sitting down to save a table before we had our food. LOL!!! It's kind of like the Soup Nazi from Seinfeld in there. You have to know what you want when you get to the window, they were very explicit about that.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

WOW....crazy for some places like that for sure...do you remember how you actually ordered it and what they offered..

[@Carloscda40]

Next time in Philly you have to check out Jims on South street, Chubbys, Dalessandro's to name a few.

[@dreweiser1]

I live in Philly, ask any person who has the best cheesesteak and you will probably get a hundred different answers. Alost everyone makes them the same way. Yes the roll makes a difference and no self respecting sandwich shop put peppers on their steaks. Mushrooms in my opinion are okay. I like American cheese, fried onions on mine but to each his own. Great video keep up the good work.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Thanks Drew....yeah i was surprised...the bread Definitely made the biggest difference

@The Flat Top King yes u are right. When we visited all the locals we talked to pretty much said those 2 places are just a tourist attraction and they don't go there. We had to try them just to say we did. I wasn't all that impressed honestly. Next time we go I do want to try the local favorites.

I think its funny that most steak shops in Philly offer mushrooms and peppers on their cheesesteaks. One chain pizzeria with locations in Philly, south Jersey, Maryland and Deleware sells a "Philly Cheesesteak " that has sweet peppers, onions and mushrooms with provolone. They are the only place that I know of that uses sweet peppers instead of fresh bell peppers. As far as the bread goes Amoroso, Liscios and Serpe seem to be the brands most popular in north eastern MD and south east PA. Del Campo was another biggie years ago. Overall another great video with perfect timing as I bought shaved steak earlier today and will be doing cheesesteaks sometime this week. "

Since moving from South Jersey to Las Vegas almost 30 years ago, I've always found it difficult to find a good Philly cheesesteak.

Pat’s vs Gino’s is a tourist spot, but worth the visit to experience. The rolls are what it’s all about. The pre-packaged Amoroso rolls are a good substitute for the real thing. But they are definitely different than the ones you’d get in the city. We have several quality roll brands. I honestly don’t know a single person who orders provolone on their steak. It’s American for most or Wiz for the others. Wit or witout is onions (and mix them in that steak and cheese before your put it on the roll). And you can add ketchup to top it off. Now, there are a million acceptable variations. And you’re welcome to all of them. Including with peppers. Philly sells them. We just give them different names. Hell, we sell pizza steaks. But the mayo guy is out his got damn mind. No one does that! 😂

Pat's was the originator of the Philly Cheese Steak but now is mostly a tourist destination. The current king of Cheese Steaks in Philly is Angelo's in south Philly. Look up Angelo's in youtube and study how the sandwich is made. Your cheese Steak may be tasty it's not a Philly Cheese Steak. The meat must be finelly chopped and well blended with cheese and fried onions. If you really want to kick it up add Longhot peppers or Banana peppers Cooper Sharp for cheese and a sesame seeded roll from South Philly.

Great job! The roll makes the sandwich. Not just the Philly Cheese Steak, hoagies and sandwiches in general, not sure why, but it’s always better here in the North East of the US. I travel all over the world. NOTHING beats a sandwich in the North East!

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Although I am not up that way..I completely agree...I hear that for everything...PF bread is better up there because the water...etc.

[@2Wheels_NYC]

I'm not from Philly, but have friends that are. I won't get into the different places there, but these look perfect! Just like you researched a NY chopped cheese, you got these proper. And, those buns would make a damn good chopped cheese! Excellent work! Oh, I'm definitely a wiz guy!

Matt, I have actually been to Phillie and had a genuine Phillie cheese steak sandwich. And you know what, to me, a cheese steak sandwich is delicious, and yours looks delicious too. Pops

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Thanks Pops....

[@jakespencer8077]

Never had one but Amy definitely sold your version with the SHAKE THAT! I do make a hell of a good shrimp, soft shell crab, and roast beef poboy though. I’ll definitely be trying your creation!

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Lord...its like reverse video to me...you see what I cook and think wow.....you tell me that and what...expect me to eat my computer ....I do need a lead on some authentic bread from LA

[@davidmurphy7951]

Man I voted for your version, over the other two. Gained 10 lbs just watching, then listening to you both moan, LOL. Thanks for the hard work you put into making these videos, by eating in front of us. As always remember, Air Force Rules ! Have a great weekend.

[@herbabbott]

First of all, I want to say that I love your videos, you guys are great! Next, I am from Philly, and make cheesesteaks myself for my family and friends all the time… There is only one way, and that’s all three cheeses!! The only difference is I put mayo and ketchup on the roll first…

[@TheFlatTopKing]

WOW....i had not seen that...i have been told since about cream cheese...what say you

[@FlockyFlock17]

Mayo on a cheesesteak? OMG

[@larrywebster]

I was literally looking at Amoroso’s rolls online the other week for mine. We have a place here in town that brings them in and that bread is amazing.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Absolutely...its amazing the difference the bread makes

[@tomivy11]

This is hilarious! You want to some pretty great lengths to appease the fan base! Lol. Love you guys keep the cooks coming.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Thats why we do it...the fans...without them...you know the rest

[@rjmartine3306]

This one was great !

[@Jimydog72]

Neal I went to a cheesesteak place once (not in Philly). They had one that was meat, onions, Provolone and Philly Cream cheese. It was called a "Philly Philly" and it is fantastic. If you see this comment and decide you want to try it be careful that effing cream cheese will Melt your face and it retains the heat for a long time.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

I have a co worker that asked me to put cream cheese in it...I honestly couldn't tell if he was kidding or not...he swore by it..this is only the 2nd time hearing it...Yeah he was from there...I didnt want to do this and look like a fool...but I appreciate you mentioning this....I will try it
