Philly Cheesesteaks

Philly is famous the world over for their cheesesteaks. Everyone in Philly has an opinion that they will passionately wax on about and tell you to go play in traffic if you disagree. Below is a small sampling of well Philly cheesesteak locals. "Pat's King of Steaks" and "Geno's Steaks" - Two of the oldest and best known contenders that are widely respected. Directly across the street from each other and fierce rivals. To be honest, the lines were always too long so I've never tried either. "Dalessandro's Steaks" - A well loved Roxborough contender. Also long lines. Slightly better than an Idaho school cafeteria cheesesteak in my opinion. "Angelo's Pizzeria" - Don't let the name fool you. They make the best hoagie rolls in town. As I always say, "Come for the philly cheesesteak and leave happy with a belly full of meatball sub." *These views are Nate's and do not represent Carols views. She will definitely disagree vehemently.
