The Famous Philadelphia Cheese Steak: A classic combination of sliced steak, onions and cheese wiz, creates a sandwich like no other. Many have tried to imitate, but an authentic Cheese Steak can be found no where else in the world! There is one question that still remains, and it is one that will be forever debated:
Where can you find the very best Cheese Steak in Philadelphia?
The Major Contenders: Pat’s and Geno’s. This heated south Philly rivalry will never end. In very close proximity each of these thriving businesses sells Cheese Steaks to the hungry people of Philadelphia all night long. In fact, here's a video debate between these two giants.
Other key players in the Cheese Steak debate: Jim’s and Tony Luke’s. Some Philadelphians even say these Cheese Steaks give Pat’s and Geno’s a run for their money. Is there another local Cheese Steak joint that may serve up the most delicious Cheese Steaks in town? Perhaps the best kept secret of Philadelphia?
To each his own… right? Well what’s your favorite?
