@charliep9066 11 ай бұрын

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.

Amoroso hasn't been the standard roll in the region for about 20 years. Aside from maybe Lee's and Slack's, only a few pizza shops and corner delis still use Amoroso rolls.

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 11 ай бұрын

@drewt1717 11 ай 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.

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!

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!

Good video, Pat’s and Genos clear tourist traps that are just so far behind other places imo. One of my favorites is Steve’s Prince of Steaks personally.

I love Steve's. I go with sweet peppers and onions, no cheese. Something in the peppers/onions is so incredibly savory to me. I could eat two of them and not regret it.

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.

I believe that onions are just as important as bread, steak, and cheese. Honestly onions should be within arms reach for any beef dish.

I need to show this video to my local UK food van, they had a "philly cheese steak" and it was many small, thick, tough bits of steak with this hard baguette, lots of onions and not a lot of cheese. I think someone from Philadelphia would probably be very angry if they saw it, I ate it and it did not spark joy.

@willvr4 11 ай бұрын

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.

Dalessandros in Roxborough is the best. I grew up in South Philly and have tried them all and remember when there was no Geno's. Jim's on SOuth Street is better than Pat's and Geno's. THere used to be a pizza place on Carpenter and Passyunk called Napoli's and that was far better than either Geno's or Pats. Dalessangdors I found in college and it is even better today.

Lived in Philly for 3 years until mid pandemic. My colleagues and new friends took me to Dalessandro’s, Angelo’s, Ishkabibble, John’s Roast Pork and Jim’s. All of them great. Sadly Jim’s burned down and closed shortly after I left. Told me to stay away from Pat’s, Geno’s and Tony Luke’s at all costs.

@kurtpunchesthings2411 11 ай бұрын

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

I went to college about 30 minutes from Philly and Dalessandro's was my number 2. Surprised Chubby's wasn't visited as it's my personal favorite and the place I went to the most when I'd go downtown on weekends. Cleavers is also very good and worth a try. The only other place I've had in Philly was Pat's and it was my least favorite of them. I live about 2 hours from Philly now and there's still some good places around here, but nothing beats Chubby's.
