      When you do, forget Dave's anti-roast pork shit. It's the best sandwich in Philly. But he's right that they also make one of the best cheesesteaks, too (Cafe Carmela is the top though if you're willing to drive out)

    This video shows once again what i like the most about Pres - he treats everyone the same way. From Trump, famous athletes and movie stars, to working class people, and even 4 homeless guys on a bench. He never talks.down to anyone, always gives everyone a chance to say their opinion or tell a story. Yes, hes a Boston douche in lady clothes, and we all like to joke about him doing coke, but he also seems like an actually decent person.

    Best cheesesteak in the city. It's a shame his mother wasn't there, she usually is. By far one of the nicest families in the city.

      I gotta say if you're not getting the Roast pork w/ spinach & sharp provolone I'm not sure what you're doing, they're better than the cheesesteaks without question!

    Not a barstool guy but as a philly transplant John's is the best cheesesteak I've had, and the roast pork is up there (if that's your cup of tea; my friend thinks it's the best sandwich). This amount of care and love makes me even more committed to my opinion. Cheers to Portnoy on his patience and fair shake.

    Being from the Philly area you don’t realize how many Americans have actually only eaten a few cheese steaks their entire life.. 🤯🤯
    Edit: American is definitely the way to go.. extra American if you like your cheese

  • @Robbie.Dunbar
    @Robbie.Dunbar 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I was just there. I don't think I will ever go to Philly and not stop there ever again. Got the Pork and the Cheese Steak. Loved both of them. Very easy place to get to also and plenty of parking nearby with a shopping center across the street.

  • @ZiontheHutt

    The cheesesteak and roast pork sandwich is hands down two of the best sandwiches I have ever had. Can’t wait to eat this Saturday before the Phillies game.

    Went there today and there was a table of guys crushing yuenglings with their sandwiches. A true working mans spot lol.
    Great to see it getting the recognition it deserves, dalessandros and all those spots are so overrated compared to Johns

    Thanks Dave for taking the time, this place is the absolute best!! My brother in law lived in Philly for a decade and for a couple years only a few blocks from this place. I’ve had over 20 of the locals “you got to try” cheese steaks and I gotta say, hands down John’s is tops!! We live in Ohio BUT if we are within 50 miles, it’s a guarantee,no time…. we make, it’s not a question.

    Loved this cheesesteak video!! Interaction with the family owning the business was great! Hope you do more cheesesteak reviews over time, def can't do them all week lol. Try Jim's on South Street, my go to since I was a kid. I always get just fried onions and extra cheese (wiz or american only). At Jim's or the next place you do try both variants that way to compare?

    John is spot on. In my family it’s always been American, grilled/fried onion and that’s it. If you want, add ketchup for a little tang and acid to cut thru the fat. Meat should be shaved ribeye seasoned with salt and pepper. And he’s spot on about American, there’s something special about good white American cheese in terms of flavor and melt that makes a cheesesteak a cheesesteak in my opinion.
    Def recommend you check out Leo’s as well. Another family run, award winning place with great steaks. I don’t think they even offer the cheese whiz shite!

    • @mandyg5444
      @mandyg5444 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I’ve never ordered wiz on my cheesesteak. As a little girl I always loved getting a pizza steak. Sooo good. That’s with marina, provolone or mozzarella, peppers and onions. (For those who have no idea wtf I’m talking about) My parents overnight me hoagies on occasion. Best parents in the world. Philadelphia LOVE ❤️ 🇺🇸
