Went to philly on a business trip and had to try a REAL philly cheesesteak. see how the fat soaks right through the paper? mmmmmm sooo good. these are from tony luke's in south philly.

 

bastard.

 

Wow, the Philly Cheesesteak sandwich and the newspaper with the featured article on the "Fresh Prince" (Will Smith) in the photo. Hahaha. Gonna try another cheesesteak with the cheeze whiz?

 

Does it compare to anything around here?

 

i had one with wiz at the place and took this one back to the hotel... didn't want be the weird one taking pics of food at the joint... LOL. it tastes soooo much better than the ones here. the juices from the steak mixing with the cheese soaked up by the bread tastes so good it can't even be described. mouths watering yet? haha.

 

 

+1 You are not right....

 

You should have went to Geno's. That's where I always go. Best steaks in Philly.

 

The Chease Steak Shop chain is pretty good. Really as good as it gets outside of Pennsylvania.

 

+99999 I go to the one on Bush and Divisadero in the city

 

As far as Northern Cali that's true. Simply because they bring Amoroso rolls out which is what they use in Philly. If you want the closest, you gotta go to So Cal. Either Fountain Valley or Irvine. The place is called Philly's Best. Met the owner when he first opened the FV store. He brings in the rolls, Franks sodas, Wise potato chips and makes them the same way they do in Philly.

And Geno's is where the tourists go, same with Pat's. Any small pizza or sandwich place will make you a great cheesesteak.

To the OP you should try a Hoagie. Or even a cheesesteak hoagie. Mmmmmm........

Incase you people didn't figure it out I'm from Philly. Born and raised 13 years.

 

They opened up a Philly's Best in Temecula just before I moved up here. It was good food!

 

Sweet they are still expanding. Maybe we can get one up here. That would rock!

 

+1 for IB's in berkeley

 

ug, I cant stand that place.
