Yep, the 2000 Final Four telecast ran videos of Pat's and Geno's.IIRC when the final 4 was in Philly, they did a thing on it. Not sure whose is better, but it would be fun to check them both out - several times!!
I moved to Philly, so I never got used to the grilled onions (which are rather standard). That one pictured has the melted Cheez Whiz.
Pat's and Geno's are both good but Jim's on South Street is my vote. Go upstairs grab a table watch and watch people walk by on South Street.
I grew up three blocks from Lou's on Moore St. In case anyone is wondering a Zep has thick cut salami, mild provolone, no lettuce. Tomatoes and lots of fresh thick sliced onions, dressed in oil and oregano. The bread must be fresh from Conshohocken Bakery. Now I know exactly what I'm having for lunch.and how about a shout out for Lou's on Main Street, in Norristown, where Geno did hang out... View attachment 15199

Sorry to hear it. I hope you both are feeling better.Me too. Five loooong days in the hospital CCU for the first week of the Olympics. Not only did the food suck (I was on a restricted diet) but I missed the early basketball games.
Sadly, I don't see many cheese steaks in my immediate future.
No, not the coaches. More importantly, Wheel of Fortune is in Philadelphia and in the intro showed the fronts of these two immortal steak sandwich restaurants, forever in competition. View attachment 15194 View attachment 15195
My last trip to the Horsepistol I freakin near died from the louzy food. In 4 days I ate less than one meal--bad drinks, food tasted so bad it was inedible. You have my condolence--and understanding.Sorry to hear it. I hope you both are feeling better.
@vtcwbuff - moderation in all things, my friend. Cut a two inch slice out of it and eat it with a salad.

Now that's a san--which!! Who needs lettuce, if youse wan a san which you don't buy a salad.
I'm hoping the team gets healthy. KLS, Collier, Kyla, Crystal Dangerfield... you'd think surviving the summer would be the easy part!Damn, I hope everyone on the Boneyard gets healthy. We have a new season coming up soon!
Right, but I think the son who's taken over since the dad died, is working hard to walk back the nativist politics.Never Geno's. Never.
Bad sandwich. Bad attitude. Bad-in-my-opinion politics (which I wouldn't care about but the place is so in your face about their nativist politics).
A good sandwich would make it possible to let the other two slide. Geno's was nowhere near a good sandwich.
