Philadelphia.
What immediately comes to mind?
Rocky. The Declaration of Independence. Rowdy sports fans. Cheesesteak.
Cheesesteak is as synonymous with Philadlephia as Benjamin Franklin is. This gooey heart attack of a sandwich was invented in Philadelphia in the early 1930s & remains popular in the City of Brotherly Love to this day.
The first bite was heavenly: steak juices dripped down our fingers, as the melted cheese mixed perfectly with the sweet onions. Some people add ketchup to their steak, but ours was perfect without it. A few dozen bites later & our first cheesesteak was history. We agreed that it was satisfying & that one cheesesteak was almost too much for one person to handle.
Pat’s vs Geno’s? I’ll take Jim’s any day of the week!
