but the buzzfeed people are just 'regular' guys out eating good food, so naturally they're gonna enjoy it more than a food critic who understands it a lot more
Not everyone is good at their job, including food critics. What is a food critic? You are a food critic just as much as a "food critic". A food critic is just an opinion. Some people like the steak raw.... they are food critics just the same as the super well done burnt steak critics. It's all superficial and money driven.
The Buzzfeed boiz themselves said that they are not picky people when it comes to food and there have been instances when they didn'r rave at all. So I would say they don't normally pretend, they just have low standards.
can I just say that the content on BA's youtube channel is truly unmatched??? so much to watch, and everyone has their own amazing personalities that come through. love it so much! keep up the great work
are you sure? they're better than something like buzzfeed, but smaller channels like munchies and thrillist are way better imo. Many BA videos seem very low effort, much like the magazine
I like this, he establishes what HE is looking for in the steaks, not just saying “This is the best one out of all”. Everyone’s taste and preferences vary, so this was enjoyable to see.
I agree, I personally like Dalessandro's because they have that more finely chopped meat and the melted American gets all up in there. Good onions, too.
TheFuriousBear Agree! I grew up in Delaware County south of Philly and all cheesesteak places used American cheese. No whiz for me...unless I’m in Philly!
jackpast suburban cheesesteaks are the worst. Total crap. Might as well make a steakum feed it to your cat, then heat it up with some American and share with your suburban therapist.
Also just the vendors, the camera crew, the sound editors, the viewers, the plumbers, the video editors, the commenters etc etc etc... *The list of those just few involved goes on for a few thousand miles*
Listen to the way his dad talks. Its obviously he is from the Delaware Valley. Thats why his dad was on there. You have to be from the area to understand.
MD native, I went to Woodrow's Sandwich Shop after seeing this and it was hands down, no contest, the best Philly cheese steak I've ever had. I owe you lunch, at the very least. Thanks for doing these awesome videos!
Delaney’s dad is so proud of his son. The way he looks at him is so adoringly and disbelieving, it’s just like “I can’t believe I made this smart, articulate, sweet kid who’s really chased his dreams, I’m so proud of him.” Brings a tear to the eye.
@@whooelse9444 lol. Right his “cancelling.” As if jokingly using a few slurs is grounds to stop loving your son. Or grounds for me to stop appreciating Alex for the clearly sweet and caring person he is Lolol
@@whooelse9444 so you think delany’s father shouldn’t be proud of his son for being smart articulate or sweet just because of a few dumb offensive joking tweets?
@@tomatoesandradiowire482 his pops is his pops so of course he's gonna stick up for his son but other than that, nobody with sense would cape for him. He may have been "joking" but something tells me that he behaves that way on the regular.
vonslagle I mean, if you want to get technical, a Béchamel sauce with cheese is called Mornay, and it's usually made with Gruyère. So you're right, it's not Cheese Whiz, my mistake. Personally, I like the fact that they put truffle oil in the recipe.
I love provolone.. and we all have our preferences, but that's not the "real" cheesesteak. WHIZ is how it was originally, so Alex is doing this correctly.
As a Castilian man, and as a European man, I have a hard time understanding the culinary traditions of Americans. Why is it always so dumbed down, brash and over-exaggerated, and finally completely lacking with nuance and sophistication. Cheese wiz? I've never even heard of that vile looking gel looking thing. And those wonderbread loafs, aren't for human consumption. The city looks pretty unappealing too, seems to have very little cultural activity. Fat bald guys working on their cars and people shooting each other with pistols. What a life.
The feeling when you are watching this guy eat delicious food and tell yourself that one day you are going to eat that. Then you remember that you are lactose intolerant.
I think some lactose intolerant people can actually eat cheese because the bacteria consume some of the lactose in the milk when converting it to cheese.
Did you guys know Ralph and Ricky's that he mentioned on here is out of business I wanted to find it and check it out and it said on Google maps perminatly closed
Excellent tour, description of each steak, high production values, kept it simple and to-the-point. And I like nicknaming each steak. Too bad BA has fallen apart; this is what a food channel can and should do.
Steve's very good, better than almost all on this list ... but I agree with dude ... Tony Luke's (Oregon Ave location) is the best, not to mention the widest variety on menu .. and best cherry peppers on the planet. Must be Oregon Ave location, KOP and CBPark locations just ...no.
hey, it's philly. you pop the coke (maybe some meth too) leftovers from the orgy into the microwave with some beer and baking powder. sell that crack and get the cash for cheesesteaks for the whole gang.
I just got done with a trip to Philly. I only got to visit 4 spots of Pats, Geno’s, Woodrows, and Tony Luke’s. Let me tell y’all Tony Luke’s is literally perfect. Perfect crispy bread but soft inside, cheese is all without and the bite is the same with every single one. The meat tastes well, and the customer service is on point. My rankings Tony Luke’s, Woodrows, Pats, Genos
I lived in Philly for 26 years and I never been to Tony Luke's. Why? They close too early! Most of my cheesesteaks were consumed after last call, which is 2 AM in Pennsylvania. I always liked Jim's because they sell bottled beer, and that was always nice before seeing a midnight showing of The Rocky Horror Picture Show at the TLA down the street. Maybe I'll try Tony Luke's when I'm down in Wildwood Crest next summer. I remember when Pat's tried franchising in the 70's and that was so sad. If I'm in the mood for provolone, I'll go to Geno's. Before I die, I want to go back to Pat's and stand in the spot they have marked where Sylvester Stallone stood during ROCKY.
Sometimes I watch this show and I get weirdly sentimental about how Delaney says something nice about every place. Like, it might not be his favorite stacked up against the others, but there's a time and a place for each restaurant to make good memories.
Damn. 14 Chicago dogs in a day was a challenge but this was ridiculous. Well done. 👍 Once again, solid choice for Alex' #1. Oh, and poor *_Sonny's_* @8:30. That steak sandwich looked pathetic. 😂
Sonny's is good for when you're a few too many pints past the point of no return. Sometimes bad sober food makes perfect drunk food (see: Lorenzo's Pizza)
I love that Alex's dad wore a suit (complete with monogrammed cuffs on his shirt) to eat cheese steak by the side of the road. It's all about the details to make the best web series about food!
Such a shame you didn't go to Steve's Prince of Steaks. You should definitely try it and in my opinion, you should try their American Cheese instead of Whiz, the American is melted just like the Whiz and their rolls have great texture and the meat is cut in perfect slabs. Tony Luke's is my second favorite steak, Steve's is my first. You won't be disappointed.
Michael M I loved Steve's provolone. Try it next time. For provolone, John's is the best, dalessandro and Steve's depending on mood for style (both provolone).
Yeah. Gives me a bunch of nostalgia. My favorite cheesesteak when I lived in Philly was Angelo's (a small cart by Liberty Place). Dude had such good quality steaks, fresh amoroso rolls, and even had amazing breakfast, but sadly Angelo passed away a few years ago.
Joe darden I miss Chick. He was a good guy. Joe needs some polishing but still keeps it real. Decent steak in my top 6. Did u ever have Pete's nearby off of State and Unruh? Damn good but its been awhile.
You went to the touristy spots but also hit up some of the city's favorites. Some will argue with you because you left out their favorite neighborhood spots, but you had some great spots in there. Cleavers is a great up and coming spot in Rittenhouse that you should try next time you're in town.
yeah Id go Tony Lukes off of looks a lone that just looks like a perfect roll and a well executed composition of quality meat, cheese, and onions. Woodrow's looks nice but its like i'm getting the 5 star version of street food which i'd probably do once and wonder why i didn't just get an actual steak dinner.
I grew up in CT, where legends of pizza, lobster roll and hamburger were born and I had no idea how lucky I was as a kid. Actually living there instead of just visiting made me realize that some unknown clam shack spot or local pizzeria actually had better lobster rolls or a white clam pie than the big names, because they cared more and the big guns rested on their laurels long ago. Maybe 10 years ago my wife and I got sandwiches at Geno's, and we both met eyes on first bite and I could immediately tell we were thinking the same thing. The local corner shop has a cheesesteak that's 100x better for the same price, and our local daily-baked stack of italian loaf is like 15 inches long and loaded with chopped steak, cheese, slowly sauteed peppers/onions to the point of being too large to eat with your hands. You gotta come through early to get the bread, because old school Syrian Grandma only makes a few big batches of incredible bread before her soaps start at noon and she retires for the day, and the spot is no secret. I usually get two "full-steak" sandwiches at 8am once a month, stop back home to put them in the fridge, head to work, reheat them in the tinfoil wrap later at 170 for an hour (I get home an hour earlier than my wife) and that night's dinner is done, with a lunch/snack of my wife's leftover the next day. So much better than my experience at Geno's, and it's there every day if I was so inclined. The grandsons that run the day-to-day also make a bomb-huge falafel wrap with an insanely good tangy white sauce that has a touch of minced bread-n-butter pickle that should be bottled to share with the world.
I really can't imagine that Alex ate all these cheesesteaks in 12 hours.😳 The servings where large, he had to eat every one to two hours to come up to his 12hour goal.🙊 Every normal person would have been full after only two cheesesteaks or would've been hanging "over the pot" for 🤮. I love the way Alex is dedicated to what he's doing, but that he ate all these cheesesteaks in this amount of time is unbelievable. 😳
Brandon Randolph Last time I was in Philly, the rental car agent pointed me to Ishkabibbles. Best cheese steak I've ever had. Been to the tourist trap places, on previous trips, now I go where the locals eat.
I love how he actually gives criticism unlike the buzzfeed guys who just pretend to orgasm every time

He's so happy to be part of his son's show!
looked to me like a guy takin lunch and eatin with his son.
he's an attorney in the area so he was probably working lol
I don't think he put on the suit for the video, I think he was working

After eating 16 steaks you could say missteaks were made
No way he eat all of them. A few bites and toss more likely

I was noticing they are a bit nut hugging. Wait until that 16th steak hits that gut, and they may become leotards.
LOL 😕😀😁😖😆🤣
And the underpants that started unsoiled
Provolone cheese over fake cheese every day. Although, I do agree on the bun - crispy on the outside, soft on the inside.
@King Savage I'd rather have real actual cheese than toxic waste.
@King Savage Uh no. That's a pretty cancerous worldview.
I love provolone.. and we all have our preferences, but that's not the "real" cheesesteak. WHIZ is how it was originally, so Alex is doing this correctly.
@King Savage If you don't like the taste of provolone whatever, but you know it is specifically used because it's a good melting cheese

Jimmy Kim which two would you hit up? I was thinking cleaver's and paesano's. Should we try Steve's/Joe's/dalessandro's as well? If so, which?
I agree, hit mad tourist spots and left out some jems but made some redeeming strides with some great spots.
Should've tried Max's on Broad St and Erie Avenue. They have the best cheesesteak
@King Savage you don't know what you're talking about
Agree to disagree
Michelle Talley don’t feed the troll
@@alanguenley635 chile, I pay him no attention.
Was what I said not chill? Lol
1. ISHKABIBBLE'S
2. Jims
3. Tony or Max
I love how your third choice had two different places. Make up your mind with this jawn.
I have heard the best place to get a good cheesesteak is a small corner pizzeria type place. This video basically confirms that for me.
yeah Id go Tony Lukes off of looks a lone that just looks like a perfect roll and a well executed composition of quality meat, cheese, and onions. Woodrow's looks nice but its like i'm getting the 5 star version of street food which i'd probably do once and wonder why i didn't just get an actual steak dinner.
I grew up in CT, where legends of pizza, lobster roll and hamburger were born and I had no idea how lucky I was as a kid. Actually living there instead of just visiting made me realize that some unknown clam shack spot or local pizzeria actually had better lobster rolls or a white clam pie than the big names, because they cared more and the big guns rested on their laurels long ago. Maybe 10 years ago my wife and I got sandwiches at Geno's, and we both met eyes on first bite and I could immediately tell we were thinking the same thing. The local corner shop has a cheesesteak that's 100x better for the same price, and our local daily-baked stack of italian loaf is like 15 inches long and loaded with chopped steak, cheese, slowly sauteed peppers/onions to the point of being too large to eat with your hands. You gotta come through early to get the bread, because old school Syrian Grandma only makes a few big batches of incredible bread before her soaps start at noon and she retires for the day, and the spot is no secret. I usually get two "full-steak" sandwiches at 8am once a month, stop back home to put them in the fridge, head to work, reheat them in the tinfoil wrap later at 170 for an hour (I get home an hour earlier than my wife) and that night's dinner is done, with a lunch/snack of my wife's leftover the next day. So much better than my experience at Geno's, and it's there every day if I was so inclined. The grandsons that run the day-to-day also make a bomb-huge falafel wrap with an insanely good tangy white sauce that has a touch of minced bread-n-butter pickle that should be bottled to share with the world.
How could you skip Steve Prince of Steaks!?
No Steves Prince of Steaks?? Tragic man you missed out.
ugh steves is so good
Steve's Prince is my go to. The best day of my life is when they opened the one on 17th and Chestnut cause it was on my way to work.
Bro! You need more vids like this!
Steve's Prince of Steaks didn't make the cut?? You're missing out! Should've expanded into the Northern part of Philly.
@King Savage doubt it that's like asking for a cuban sandwich in texas.
@King Savage it's more of an opinion but if they are that good give a location.
Wow, no Steve's
56466bhggh yeah there were some gems left off.
Tony Luke's is effing amazing! Gotta get it with the provolone. Can't wait to go back 😋
Hell yeah! Provolone gets no respect in cheesesteaks!!
Phillip's with the provolone..... Dead
Rossygrossy hey girl u look familiar.
wtf you didnt go to steves?
Very Good Boy so much this, glaring omission!
Very Good Boy right, total disrespect!!
Very Good Boy Where's that?
Chino Nadal steves it at either bustleton nd wellington or the one up the blvd by pepsi
Yes dude. I don't get it. Anytime I watch something on cheesesteaks they never even mention Steves.
this kid is grade A...very in depth and let's us know how he REALLY feels..we need more of that in this world
You gotta try Max's and Ishkabibbles
Ishkbibbles is the best
No Steve's Prince of steaks??
Steve’s prince of steaks, comly and the boulevard best steak in the city
I really can't imagine that Alex ate all these cheesesteaks in 12 hours.😳 The servings where large, he had to eat every one to two hours to come up to his 12hour goal.🙊 Every normal person would have been full after only two cheesesteaks or would've been hanging "over the pot" for 🤮.
I love the way Alex is dedicated to what he's doing, but that he ate all these cheesesteaks in this amount of time is unbelievable. 😳
He probably shared each sandwich with the production crew that accompanied him.
@@scyence yeah, that explains the 400 lb guys following him
Finally another person who likes Tony Luke's.
2020 me in quarantine clutching my pearls as he eats on a public mailbox. 😂
No Max's? No Ishkabibble's?
Brandon Randolph right maxes is the best deal
Brandon Randolph man I was just thinking this, how exactly did he miss the best places
Always skip Jim's on South and go straight to Ishkabibbles!
Brandon Randolph Ishkabibble's is really good.

Last time I was in Philly, the rental car agent pointed me to Ishkabibbles. Best cheese steak I've ever had. Been to the tourist trap places, on previous trips, now I go where the locals eat.
This is probably one of my all time favorite youtube videos
