Pat's and Geno's are just tourist traps. I have never met a local that recommended either of the two.

Tourist traps, both of them. Can't even rate them in the top ten.

lol, the orangeness. And oh my gosh, Joey invented the pressure washer. I also loved the "who has more at STAKE" and "that was so CHEESEY". That was a really good yet subtle one that I almost missed.

I went to Philly today on a field trip. During lunch, half my class ordered from Geno's & the other ordered from Pat's. Since we're from the suburbs, most of us didn't know about this war until 5 people brought Pat's cheesesteaks back to Geno's to sit with the rest of us. They were so pissed off. When I went to get my food, they even asked if I was with them. I said "We're sorry! They didn't know!" They were cool about it though and were nice to me. But it was the funniest thing I've ever seen.

Haha that was sweet!! Your house is orange?

Only just 12 years ago & things were so different. Great memories!

That video was adorable. The owner of Pat's cracked me up....what a personality. I liked the way he tried to sing along with you guys. I'd eat there just because of that. I'm sure both places are great places to eat though. Kudos to the two gents who made the film. Now come to Long Island and make a film about all of the 7-11's.

JOEY INVENTED THE PRESSURE WASHER!

Delightful video guys! Your sonGs were fun to listen to and I love the genuine competition between these two cheese steak culinary creators!😄 I would definately try both if I got the chance!😂🥙

Lived here all my life never been to neither of them

I've been going to Philly for years and have been to a bunch of Cheesesteak places, eaten Pats and Genos several times. I went this past weekend and had the best cheesesteak of my life at Pat's. It was so much meat, perfect amount of cheese and onions. On the flip side though i have also had one of the worst steaks at Pat's. They have real consistency issues, but when they're on, god damn they're on.

We say Geno's, of course :)

LOL your home is orange?! nice one guys

Both of these places are tourist traps!!! Everyone knows in philly that they aren't the best

Aww that was funny. Cute old philly men. I like the surprise ending of you two in the middle of the road haha

"that was cheesy" haha....cracks me up..I'm so glad you made that pun

Eww, if your putting liquid processed cheese (cheese whiz) on it instead of real cheese, you already lost.

hahah awesome work! -charlestrippy

This video made me and my cousin want to drive out to eat. Great work guys!!

"who have got the most at steak." "that was chessey." LMAO!

well i gotta admit - this short DOES actually have the Philly flavor down, and it makes both Steakerias look decent. so yeah, great job gents.

You guys are great! Now I want a bite. I love Philly Cheese Steaks!

it's like the tootsie pop commercial from the 70's. "the world may never know!". this video made me so hungry...now i gotta get my car...sit in labor day traffic and decide which one i want along the way. i know this much however...either one is worth the 15 minute drive!

HAHA! Yet another brilliant episode of the Alka Seltzer Great American Road Trip - I loved when Link sat with the 6 dollars "can i keep this?"

LMFAO "I got 2 words for him & its not gonna be Happy Birthday!"

I miss Philly. Miss authentic cheesesteaks so much. Gotta find my way back there. This video is both nostalgic as hell and making my ass hungry

I had a dream that The Artie Clear Show while he was doing his his show LIVE at the South Philly Bar & Grill (between Geno's & Pat's) brought this Cheese Steak War right out into the streets and thousands of people turned out for this event! Go Artie, Go Artie!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who's here from IDUBBBZ

"What does flash taste like?" 2:21. Good point, I must say. Never eaten at any of these places, but from what I've heard from countless friends in Philly, John's Roast Pork is the best. Again, never eaten at any of these places, but this is what I hear.

pat and geno are like the mac and pc guys of the cheese steak world

I had a Philly Cheese Steak in Reading Food Market. Fantastic just doesn't do it justice!

I grew up right down the street from there on Sears Street!

Link in ripped jeans....yassssss

I like how a lot of the people commenting aren't even from Philly. Don't be jelly because no where else in the country can replicate our signature food.

1.54 ''I got 2 words for him and it a'int gonna be happy birthday!''- Brilliant, I will endeavour to use this one all week! XX P.S This is much better than the singing cheese thing Rhett and Link!

That is a friendly, funny rivalry! The Pat's guy is hilarious! The Geno's guy reminds me of the gangstas out here in Little Italy (NY). I like 'em both.

You speak the truth my friend. You speak the truth.

The orangeness...it makes me feel at home." "Your home is orange?" "well...yeah." LOL

I've been to dozens of restauarants throughout Philly that make steak sandwiches. I've had them with & without cheese, onions, pepperoni, mushrooms, etc., at more places than I care to recite here and BY FAR the very best place to get a steak sandwich is "One Pound Cheesesteaks" (2661 Kensington Ave), at the corner of Kensington & Lehigh. Not only do they make the best steak sandwiches in the entire city, but they make them in 5 minutes or less!

i think theyre both good, it just goes back n forth on whos better depending on how drunk i am when i get down there

rip joey vento

I've had both, Geno's was best.

thats so cool that you guys get to travel and do everything.

Lol “put some lights up over there!”

If I travel to Philly, I'm gonna make sure I go there and try both. Thanks guys for the fun review. It was cool to see on google street view that Pat's and Geno's were both very busy at that time of the day.

Those are tourist places. The best cheesesteaks are the neighborhood places. Philly-born and raised!!!!!!!

Went to Geno's about a year ago. The lady in front of me asked if she could have her beef cut up a little. The guy taking the order said "no"! He said, "we don't do that here, if you want that go somewhere else". The lady goes "I was here last night and they did it"...The manager comes over and says "who did it for you". The lady pointed the guy out that served her last night. The manger goes "Your fired!!! Get the heck out of here!" Never again will I eat at Geno's...Jim's on South St!!!!!!!

Is Pat really wearing a shirt that says "Mario is my Homeboy?" lololololol

Genos is better tell you why: 1. Pats grounds up their meat, and you bite its like mushy baby food, geno's has more bite to it. 2. Genos has better quality bread, Pats is soggy. From a first timer to both of them.

This was a great one! I kind of liked it better than the youtubers, You guys should hit a NYC pizza joint or something because IMO pepperoni pizza really does give the most indigestion, it would really speak well of the power of Alka-Seltzer. Oh and on the marketing side, put those Intergalatic Food Smugglers t-shirts on sale!

Geno's gets more business, at 2:00 AM there's a line reaching across the street, Pat's line never makes me stop my car, and Geno's is Mark Apsolon Approved, lol!

I've been to Pat's. I live about a half hour away in New Jersey. That's good shit.

Went to Geno's with my brother in summer 2016, and we met and got a picture with THE Captain Obvious in line. One of the highlights of my life.

Excellent work gents. The series is fantastic. (=

Sure they did. Samoset even spoke English before the arrival of the Pilgrims. The Pilgrims were astonished when Samoset strolled straight through the middle of Plymouth Colony and greeted them in English. Later, Samoset showed up with Squanto who spoke even better English.

I love these so much.

1:57 For a split second, I thought he was going to say Watch Me Whip, Watch Me Nae Nae, even though this video was made it 2008.

This was great! I think Mr. Olivieri probably has a good voice. Sounds like he can carry a tune. Joey is a riot! Put some lights up ova thayre!! RIP Joey Vento

Well this was a very competitive video

I like what Robin Wiliams said about the Philly cheesesteaks,in 300 hundred years when anthropologist are digging up bones,.in the shilly area,they will find skeletons with undigested philly cheesesteaks,gotta love Robin

Pat is the apple person,Gino is the windows person xD

i love the mario is my homeboy shirt

Pat's only because Rocky was filmed there back in '76, How freakin' awesome is that!!!

true brotherly love, taking a bite from the side that has already been bitten from

Hahaha watching this in 2024! Just long live Rhett and Link that’s all I have to say

Went to a concert in Philly last year and of course I had to have a cheesesteak while in the city of brotherly love. I went to Pats and Geno's and they were average at best. The next day I tried two local favorites Tony Lukes and Jims Steaks. They were certainly an improvement but nothing to write home about. I can get a steak and cheese sub at any pizza place that would be just as good. Great concert but the cheesesteak experience was definitely a dissapointment.

0:27 how flattering....

Nothing wrong with a little friendly competition! =]

I like Pat more, he's so adorable.

What's interesting is that the colour orange has actually been linked to making people feel hungry. It's one of the main reasons that Bob Evans restaurants have orange roofs. :) Wow, whodathunk that obnoxious Advertising and PR class I had to take in college would come in handy!?!

Genos is the best, i always go before or after a Flyers game (sometimes both before and after) all about the whiz without

I love Rhett and Link videos and their intro song to this!!!

Pat's wins because the owner is wearing a "Mario is my homeboy" t-shirt.

I like both, but the last 1 I went to was Geno's. My favorite is in my childhood neighborhood: New City Line Pizza on City Line Ave.

I finally went to both places last weekend. No bias, no expectations. Geno's was good. Pat's was dry and not very hot, considering they had just made it. But maybe we were there on a bad night.

I had to try both after I saw "Sandwiches that you will like" on PBS. EATING TOUR USA!!! Ibor City Cuban Sandwhiches are the best. America is amazing in general.

I love all Cheese Steaks.

I liked Geno's. When my family went to Philedelphia My parents ordered two sandwhiches from Pat's and I ordered some from Geno's. Everyone like's Pat's except ME! I ordered in complete sentences with a polite smile and the Geno guy was like "She's not from here."

YO! Philly ROCKS! Pat's and Geno's are BOTH GREAT! As for "Speedy"--he looks like he's from "Village Of The Damned"...

Neither are the best cheesesteak, but I always get both, genoa and pats, then head to Good ol' Tony Luke's . I love living in Philly

Between the 2 I'd pick Pat's. But neither of them are the best. I prefer either Delessandro's or Pagano's both in Northwest Philly where I'm from.

wow...right in the middle of the road! Classy!

had one in Philly. Tore my insides apart, but it was soooooo good

I'd save my money & make my own at home BUT if i had to choose, i'd definitely go to pats. They just seem to have a more down to earth vibe to me.

Fun Fact: Alfred Kärcher actually invented the first hot-water high-pressure washer hahaha

Look at Pat's shirt it says " Mario is my homeboy." HE WON THE BATTLE!

I cant say I've ever had a cheesesteak before, let alone been to America, but if I had to choose between Pats and Genos, I would pick Pats simply because it was where Rocky eats his cheesesteaks. For reference, watch 'Rocky Jumped the Park Bench'

i love geno's . so good .

i love cheesesteaks and I hear these guys make an awesome cheesesteak im thinking about visiting philly just for the steaks

REST IS PEACE JOEY, GENO'S FOREVER, RIPASO IN PACE JOEYY ♥

I doubt it

I like a mushroom pizza steak from tony Luke's. I order in any language I want.

There's also Tony Luke's

I wonder if the mob has anything to do with the philly cheesesteak scene or these two shops in particular!!! Just a thought as crazy as it sounds

We talked about this on the live blogtv show last night. Of course it didn't seem to record

Just because its not right across the street from these 2 Jim's gets left out of the discussion but try one on South St. Jim's is the best.

rocky balboa chose Pat's, there is a plate outside that says rocky stood here or something like that. im surprised they didnt mention it.

I can't believe he died, RIP Joey Vento! My condolences to the family too.

I don't go to Pat's for the ambiance. I go for the world's best cheeseateaks! I plan to replicate that recipe for my cooking show here. Geno's is nothing but flash, but their cheesesteaks are sub par.

You really can't go wrong getting a steak anywhere in Philly. My favorite is Steve's, though. The worst I ever had was at, and get ready for this: I got a PHILLY cheesesteak, at a NEW YORK deli, in BALTIMORE.
