Best cheesesteak place in Philly?

[Mork]

where all my philly peeps at?

 

[Gibsons]

poll?

 

[GasX]

Pat's

 

[UlricT]

that one next to the baseball field near the market, with a street on either side of it.

 

[d0ofy]

Geno's

 

[Ilmater]

Are you serious? That's like asking for the best BBQ place in Kansas City.

 

[franksta]

Pat's although I've never eaten at Geno's. They're right across the street from each other and Geno's looks like a tourist trap. Both had long lines.

 

[Kipper]

A small place tucked away on Henry Ave called Dalessandro's.

Seems this topic comes up every year...

Anyway, they're both tourist traps.

The "real" Philadelphians are going to Tony Luke's, Dallesandro's, Pudge's....everybody has a fierce devotion to their local shop, but few actually go to Pat's or Geno's unless they are drunk and it's very late.

Here is a link to the authoratative cheesesteak rankings. You will probably need to visit bugmenot.com for a login.

I can no longer find the accompanying chart with the rankings, but the #1 spot was a little place in Bridesboro that is only open for lunch, followed by Tony Luke's.

Man Tony Luke's is awesome, there's one here in Manhattan by my office. The roast pork sandwich is excellent!

john's roast pork on snyder ave by the new lowe's. It's situated near the railroad tracks and it looks like it's close most of the time but it's not.

 

[Scarpozzi]

Don't go to the Philly airport and expect anything...most vendors there sell Steakums!

Pat's...

Koch's is not too far from there. Unless it has changed since I graduated in 91, it's a tiny little deli that is always packed. They make up for the humongous wait by passing around col cuts to the people in line. It's is easily one of the best delis in the country.

That's what it was called.

John's Roast Pork was the one that Craig LaBan and the team declared the best. I can never remember the name b/c it is so innocuous.

Thanks!
