Philly Cheesesteaks

Always strange to see people dissing the Philly cheese, it's an awesome sandwich.

Try Federal Donuts downtown. Chicken and Donuts.

OMG, yassss.

Best thing about Jim’s is they’re the only cheesesteak joint with a beer license. At least that was the case a few years ago. An ice cold
cheap High Life bottle only ramped up the cheesesteak experience.

Yes, 100%. Only difference is Id get a St. Pauli Girl,

Also I dont get the whiz hate. To me whiz is the best cheese on a real cheesesteak. I dont go out of my way in life to seek out cheezwhiz, but its use in a cheesesteak is perfect. The saltiness and the meted dripiness is such a huge part of the cheesesteak alchemy. "Whiz with". Nothing more needed

Did Philly the other month. DiNics was good, but not a cheesesteak. Best cheesesteak I had was Dalessandro's Steaks. It's not in downtown but worth the drive.

Dallesandros is excellent

Well this is convenient. I'm sitting in Philly right now so I'll try some of these places out.

Lived in KOP for a 6 month rotation until March and just got back to CT from a weekend Philly trip. I tried Paesano’s today in Fishtown. It’s pretty good, but not the best I’ve had.

Next time, try the "Paesano". Brisket with horseradish mayo, roasted tomatoes, pepperocini, sharp prov and a fried egg. You won't need dinner if you get it for lunch.

Lol I can EAT

I split everything with my fam. I had a 1/2 Paesano, a 1/2 roast pork, and a 1/2 cheesesteak. All 3 were good but that’s how’d I rank them in order.

[Ratso]

Go down to 9th and passyunk and get one from pats and one from genos. I initially thought whiz would be gross but they are superior.

Well, ya gonna leave us hanging here?

Obviously they drove to Hartford for lobster rolls or Rhode Island for pizza instead.

Anyone tried G Steaks on Park Street where Lenas used to be ? I’ve heard some really good things — def going to be stopping by next time I’m up that way.

I didn’t know anything moved in there. Is it just the Lenas part or Sullys too?

You can get provi or American at Genos and Pats. I’d still lean Jim’s on South Street.

 

[uconnphil2016]

Anyone been to that new place G’s in Parkville?

You can buy a lobster roll across the street @uconnphil2016

The PA Coal region barroom cheesesteaks were/still are way better than any Philly style steak sandwich that I have ever tasted, either in Philadelphia itself or Clearwater at Phillies spring training games.....overpriced and overhyped. To those who know better, it is easy to diss the Philly slop

 

[DarthGrumpy]

Uh, Oh, looks like cheesesteaks were not the only thing cooking at Tony Luke's...
