I grew up in the Philadelphia area and they are awesome. And it is true (from personal experience), you can't get a good cheesesteak anywhere else.

The key to the authentic philly steak is the bread. They say it has something to do with the water from the Schulkill River. Supposedly it makes the bread rise different. Without a doubt it's awesome. But Amoroso rolls are key. There's a place called Johns Roast Pork that's supposedly the best in Philly but they are only open on weekdays. Pats and Geno's are the tourist hotspot, and are pretty decent steaks (though I prefer Pat's). Don't overlook the Roast Pork Sandwich there too. It's pretty good as well.

I can make a vegitarian version of it,because the real meat version of it causes all kinds of ulcers and a trip to the ER to get my stomach pumped. But from what I hear those things probadly taste as good as they look.

Tony Lukes or Jims are where the locals get cheesesteaks.

Go to jims on south street, or dalessandro's in roxborough.
Also try a chicken cheeseteak.

If you want a "real one" then you need to go to Pat's or Gino's. Jim's is also good, but not the originals. I also agree with the chicken cheesesteaks also

They're mighty good, but if you have high cholesterol, I'd avoid it. It isn't "so good I want to die while eating it" good.

Though I do welcome death, so perhaps I'll go and get a dozen...


Keep us posted!

Don't know about the "real one" comment. As another poster said, most locals hit jims- trust me, they are real ones.
