Cheesesteak Recommendations

[uchusky32]

I am in need of “Boneyard Expertise” (I use that term loosely). Heading to Philly for a week for my kid’s camp. Looking for a cheesesteak recommendation beyond the typical tourist destinations. Where do the locals go? Thanks!

Max’s Germantown.

Angelos in Bellavista is very good. If you’re going to Angelos, I really love Sam’s Morning Glory Diner for brunch (at the corner of Fitzwater and 10th). Newish ownership but still good.

But as a previously poster noted - get a roast pork or chicken cutlet with broccoli rabe instead.

Should this post include the question of who knows a top cardiologist?

Anything in moderation won't kill you. Except poison. Stay away from anything poisonous.

To Tony Luke's in professional opinion.

If you go to Jersey Mike’s, just turn around and get a cooked sub.

Angelo’s, John’s roast pork, or del rossis in center city.

Depending on where you’re laying your head in the area - this should help. Recently updated in April (w/ map): These are the best places to get a cheesesteak in Philly right now

1) If you are going to be a snowflake about hygiene, don't go. This is a corner deli/sandwich shop, and your shoes may stick to the floor. You are going there for a Philly steak, not to have surgery.

2) Do not go before a business meeting. The Philly steaks are designed to taste great, not to be gentle on your digestive system. The Philly steaks are worth the pain you may feel afterward.

I'm assuming it wasn't your intention to imply that these are related, but I can't help but think it after seeing them lined up like that.

Nothing like that is intended. I am not sure how you can get food poisoning from a Philly steak since no bacteria can live on a griddle that is probably at least 500 degrees. But some of us don’t have the strongest digestive systems, especially for 1500 calories of culinary ecstasy that is cooked in its own fat then served with hot sauce.

I suppose if you were eating directly off the griddle that might be the limiting factor, but it was more that it was just a funny juxtaposition.
