WTF is wrong with you people?

And there it is... I was looking to see if anyone mentioned this one. Close to Manayunk too.

Dal's is aiight, but they don't cook their mushrooms enough and they chop their steak up into dust. It beats a blank though. Manayunk...... I just threw up a little bit in my mouth.

Oh, and it's JRP for cheesesteaks AND roast pork. They're not called John's Roast Pork for nothing. Just go there for both. Tony Luke's is highly overrated - the dude is now marketing a supermarket steak-umm style cheesesteak and roast pork kit in the freezer section. I think that says it all.

Zig, if you like greasy delicious food then you'll love a cheesesteak. I don't think I know anyone who doesn't like one. Well, except for hipster doofuses.

Can you find me a picture of a good looking one please? All the ones I've seen look a bit yuck! :?

I'd probably have a few beers beforehand and THEN have one -- nothing better than beer and grease!

nothing better than a good Philly cheesesteak at like 3 in the morning after a night of drinking - it's awesome for sure.

Exactly.

Zig, the cheesesteak is not suppose to be aesthetically pleasing to the eye. It's all about the taste, but here ya go... Here's a pic of a cheesteak(left) and roast pork(right) from the best place on earth for both...



Mmmmmm, that's a good roll.

I believe it's called Chubby's. Haha, that's funny. I ate at the same place and struck up a conversation with the owner. He said he used to drive from South Jersey to Nawlins every weekend. It was an aiight cheesesteak, but it wasn't like here.

Yeah, that sounds right. The cheesesteak was just alright. I would never dream of putting mustard on a real cheesesteak in Philly, but I figured what the hell, it's New Orleans. That is still the spiciest mustard I have ever tasted. In reality it defeated the purpose of the steak. I easily could have slid the meat, cheese, shrooms and peppers out of the sandwich and not even noticed the difference.

That looks quite nice. The ones I've seen in pictures look sloppy and shitty.

There's a great cheesesteak place in Chicago called Philly's Best. I think the guy is from Philly and it's the closest you can get to the real deal.

My greatest regret is the one afternoon I spent in Philly I somehow didn't manage to eat a cheese steak :(

I spent one afternoon in Philly, jumping in a cab, riding 10 miles for a cheesesteak, waiting in line for 20 minutes to get said cheesesteak......

I will never eat one of those garbage on a bun sandwiches again.....

Geno's and Pat's are complete shit.....I could get a better sandwich at 7-11.............

Geno's and Pat's cheesesteak is equivalent to....

Some fucking dog food covered with cheese-whiz.....thrown on a stale, hard disgusting bun......

dude we gotta tailgate together in philly. i gotta hear some road stories from you.

From what I have heard over the years.....

Going to Geno's and Pat's for cheesesteak is the equivalent of going to McDoodles for a gourmet cheeseburger...

So maybe it was my fault for going to those shit-holes....
