Philly native here, eaten many steaks but never been to Pat's or Geno's. Thx for goin to places we actually eat at.

Randy Mathews right !

@imfraeglasgow 7 лет назад

Randy Mathews where's the best place for a pork sandwich?

@randymathews3348 7 лет назад

scotland5finest i don't actually believe there's a "best" steak or pork sandwich. it depends on what neighborhood im in and what I want at the time. even though they're pretty much the same ingredients, there are differences from shop to shop. that being said, you cant go wrong w John's(in the vid) or dinics in the reading terminal.

@pilotbroF22 7 лет назад

I am a Philly citizen through and thought and I love that he is going to places that are not on the tourist path, because the most interesting steaks are all over, a different local flavor. and Dalessandro's is amazing, by far my favorite place to get a steak!

@McShag420 8 лет назад

This guy totally gets it. I lived in Philly for about a year and tried probably 20 different cheesesteaks, all good, all different.

Your supposed to have head on a beer pour. It releases flavor and gas so that you don't get bloated. And It's a bottle so it's not like you're losing anything.

@refzz1259 5 лет назад

My buddy travels for business and is a cheesesteak fan. When I found myself in Philly I called him and he pointed me to Dalessandros. It was amazing and the staff...well I wanted to hire all of them for my business. Hats off to them for a great meal and great people.

Ray Winward jims is good, but I'm more mad he didn't mention steves

@exqueue3813 7 лет назад

"This steak was made for ME." Cuts to shot of 20lb of steak in a warming pile on the grill. McDonalds is made for you in the same way, the burgers sit in a warming tray and are assembled when you order them.

I literally paused the video when I saw that to see if anyone shared the same opinion. All that meat is cooked. How long until they sell it? Are they that busy? Disgusting

@pac6010 7 лет назад

Mcdonalds beef and ingredients are frozen and trucked halfway around the country before its fried up and served to you by people who don't give shit about what they serve. Its in no way the same kind of thing to eating at one of these local joints.

@domithecomi1 7 лет назад

Bidet Nothing like McDonalds. They only throw on what is ordered at the register, maybe for a lunch rush some places pile up the steak meat, but it's all off the grill in 10 -15 min.

@frglaf4187 7 лет назад

I think this is a fairly well-composed video about the "mythical" cheesesteak. When you grow up in Philadelphia, you are somewhat surprised that everyone outside has awe and reverence for a sandwich you just take for granted. We got poor-quality cheesesteaks served to us in the school cafeteria that are better than what Subway makes. The central thesis of this video is 100% correct. Just go to any pizzeria or hoagie shop in the Delaware Valley and order a cheesesteak with American and fried onion. Most of the time the line cook will make it on a flat top with salt, pepper, and a dash of granulated garlic. The rolls are most often baked nearby. The steak and cheese are usually provided by Sysco, so don't think there's any "terroir" or something that makes them special. It's really just the knowledge passes from cook to cook about doing it right.

@davidkriz4235 4 месяца назад

These places are each excellent. But I would add that Pat's is actually worth a try if only for the historical aspect, even if it is a tourist trap these days. You can't get more authentic than the original, differences in quality aside.

@DJ_LP_ViBE 4 года назад

John's Roast Pork for cheese steaks and roast pork sandwiches is a must.

@hmpz36911 3 года назад

I've had amazing cheesesteaks at Geno's but they weren't consistent. The last few times they were getting worse. They're certainly not what most of us usually ate though, as we tend to get them from local pizza shops or lesser known steak shops.

D'Allesandro's on Henry Ave. The best of the best. It doesn't get better. I am Philly born and raised.

@wayfaerer320 4 года назад

I love D'Allesandro's, but personally being born and raised in Northeast Philly, my all-time favorite is still Steve's at Comly and the Blvd. The way they pour melted American cheese over top your cheesesteak is just amazing - I'd eat it everyday if it didn't take 20 years off my lifespan.

@andstr4150 3 года назад

D"allesandros is so dry. Most steaks in Philly are dry. You gotta hit the burbs for a a truly great one

@JamesPain1203 7 лет назад

The best place to get a cheesesteak is from Maxx's at Broad and Erie second is Joe's also you can never go wrong with a Papi store so underrated and the best bang for the buck...the best roast pork DiNick's in Reeding Terminal hands down...I'm a philly native born and raised

@riffers 7 лет назад

BrianTheGreat DiNic's uses broccoli rabe, John's uses the less bitter and juicier spinach. I like DiNic's, but John's is just the best.

@TMey88 6 лет назад

riffers I went to DiNic’s to give it a second shot after I wasn’t really impressed with the broccoli rabe in my roast pork sandwich, I must have been really sick the first time I ate there, or maybe it was the fact that they had spinach as their greens for the day, but man oh man did I love it the second time. John’s was definitely my favorite sandwich ever though.

@HangingWithNasyaCarter 6 лет назад

I don’t care for max’s have to try joes

@IlDeimos 5 лет назад

I never tried Maxx's, but I heard about it. I'll try it over the weekend. Thanks! I like to go to Joe's.

@nickfury324 2 года назад

Last one I had was Johns. Fantastic. I must say though I did enjoy Pat's but had nicer greetings and service from Geno's across the street. I too prefer the American cheese over Wiz

@thegoldenmajesticmeatball 7 лет назад

1980's Sydney cheese stake sandwich is unforgettable

@damanidavis9803 5 лет назад

Pagano's in West Oak Lane is the best cheesesteak in Philly in my opinion. If I can't make it up that way, I hit the West Philly Jim's. The cheesesteak at John's Roast is pretty good too, but it comes "as is" and you can't choose your own condiments to add.

@HarperNguyen 7 лет назад

Dining on a dime is my favourite, but damn, this show is underrated.

@dchang11 3 года назад

My favorite place growing up was DJ Deli in Trooper, PA. Tried Genos and Pats once. Hated it.

@geoffrobinson 5 лет назад

John's Roast Pork is the best... traditional steak. I had a smoked cheesesteak at Seymour's BBQ in Laurel Springs, NJ. Oh dear me was it amazing.

@IlDeimos 5 лет назад

Your so right, when people first come to Philly they go straight for the tourist places. They make good steaks, but they are far from the best in Philly. This guy knows what he's doing, Joe's is definitely one of my many favorite spots here in Philly. lol. There are so many good places to get a cheese steak in Philly, it's hard to choose sometimes. Genos and Patts are good, but you will wait in line for about an hour. Why do that, when you can get something a lot better, cheaper, and faster, if you go to some of these places in this video.

+T. Wolfe Different tastes, still GREAT. I've been to Chicago, I love the Italian beef. I'm so thankful just to be near a Portillo's here in the West Coast. Always asking for a Big Beef double dipped with hot peppers and sweet peppers x2 with cheese fries and an extra cheese cup for the sandwich. Not traditional, but shit it's all gravity to me.
