    The one time I was there we called ahead. Cheesesteaks were ready as soon as we got there. Wife hopped out and paid while I drove around the block and waited.

    Yeah calling ahead is the way to go. Even then it’s still quite a pain to deal with. Might as well make it as easy as possible on yourself.

    Also, Del Rossi’s is essentially copying Angelo’s right now. Baking their own seeded rolls and everything. Angelo’s is probably slightly better, but I’d have a tough time Pepsi challenging them. We got a smorgasbord of them delivered for our guests that were visiting for the PJ shows and they were a huge hit. So much easier to deal with than Angelo’s.

    I tried calling them once and got busy signals. Friends coming in from out-of-town this weekend. I'm getting Mama's Pizzeria cheesesteaks for the occasion.

    as seen on diners, drive ins and dives, in my hometown of columbus, ohio. place looks pretty legit. F’me thinks guy fieri is an asshat and I strongly disagree.

    Guy Fieri is a giant douche. That italian pork looks good though.

    No issues with triple D. I always enjoy watching it. He has helped many businesses. That said most of his restaurants are corporate gigs with mediocre food, and I would never buy a pan with his name on it. Just another celebrity chef. Has he ever done a cheesesteak show?

    agree. I’ve heard his restaurants suck. I just really like his show and like seeing the passion behind all the “mom and pop” restaurants.

    F’me - that italian bar/restaurant you took us too in philly would be a natural for Triple D.

    I haven't watched it for awhile but I always liked DDD. The episodes where he started getting his son involved kind of wore me out though.

    Mmmm.  Trying to recall which place that was.
    Whole series of days/nights perhaps a little blurry, but lots of fun.
    We didn't cheesesteak it up, specifically.
    Too many people to wrangle. 

     I don't think I recall Guy doing one of the more well known steak places, but I stopped watching him.  Too much to take, although the concept is great.
