    Amoroso hasn't been the standard roll in the region for about 20 years. Aside from maybe Lee's and Slack's, only a few pizza shops and corner delis still use Amoroso rolls. Most of the "soft" rolls are from Liscio's bakery these days, and the crusty seeded rolls are typically from either Sarcone's or Carangi.

    John's Roast Pork is the clear winner. Not too fine, not too thick steak. Cheese and onions are mixed through out so you get some in every bite. The bun isn't too thick. All the ratios are in harmony and you get that unctuous, juicy, savory bite - this is the single most important factor. Also, onions are always a must. Optional, but highly recommended, would be hot peppers for that acidity and heat.

    as a born and bred philly native, both whiz and american are acceptable on a steak. To me, whiz is more of the downtown/city style and what people from out of town associate cheesesteaks with, but the American cheese is the go to for locals for sure. If someone from Philly is getting themselves a cheesesteak for dinner on friday night they are most likely going to get American cheese. Both are great and honestly even though I have eaten a thousand cheesesteaks I could still probably eat one everyday. They really are a go-to staple for us

    The secret to a great cheesesteak is the roll. It has to be extremely fresh and sturdy enough to stand up to all the beef drippings, but yet not too tough. I also think that provolone is the best cheese option.

      Obviously provolone! 💯
      I suppose if you get a cheesesteak regularly, it's nice to have options to prevent getting burned out on just one cheese flavor, but if and when I ever visit Philadelphia to try their cheessteaks, I would want to savor the beef. I already frikn know what Cheese Whiz tastes like, and I've had plenty of cheesesteaks from other places where I live. Provolone complements the steak without being overly loud, letting the meat speak to it's quality and preparation. I could be wrong, but thats currently my (admittedly non-expert) opinion.

    Angelo’s is by far the best steak in the city these days imo, but Dalessando’s and Tony & Nick’s are also excellent. I personally think Tony & Nicks has the best bread out of everybody (except Angelo’s of course), but they cook their meat on such low temp it never has that great maillard. Daleddandro’s is the opposite- their meat and onions are cooked to perfection but the bread doesn’t quite keep up. But that’s the beauty of Philly steaks!

    I went to college about 30 minutes from Philly and Dalessandro's was my number 2. Surprised Chubby's wasn't visited as it's my personal favorite and the place I went to the most when I'd go downtown on weekends. Cleavers is also very good and worth a try. The only other place I've had in Philly was Pat's and it was my least favorite of them. I live about 2 hours from Philly now and there's still some good places around here, but nothing beats Chubby's.

God bless Philly, the cheesesteak is a beautiful thing. Even the ones you disparage are better than the alternatives anywhere else on Earth. I ate a lot at Oregon Steak, because it was right at the base, and we went by it on the way out, and the smell of cheese steak is like a bee being drawn to a flower. Often my resolve to try a different place was conquered by the smell of steak. Great pizza in Philly too, but cheesesteak is king! BTW, I’m freak. I like onions, mushrooms and peppers with my Whiz on the steak. Only justification for the existence of Cheez Whiz.

    Keep going gents. We dig your chemistry, great contrast of personalities. My first time in Philly I hit up both Pat’s and Geno’s one after the other. I was all-in for Pat’s, Whizz, no onions. Next time I’m going straight to John’s but for the pork sandwich.

      Watching you two soy boys giving your feelings and opinion on Philly Cheese steaks just lowered my testosterone level. I'm going to need testosterone replacement therapy now watching these plethora of beta soy boys and fat unattractive females that infest television and the internet these days.

    John’s bread is from Carangi’s Bakery. Pronounced “Ka-ran-gee”
    Pat’s & Gino’s are both for tourists & college kids.
    Charlie’s is also popular.

      From an Irish guy Dalessandros looked the nicest to me I agreed with the video that the very fine cut steak has a better chance of blending well with the cheese I feel like that's what makes a great Cheesesteak when the cheese and steak are blending well Genos for example too thick wouldn't blend well but Dalessandros you can tell that's perfectly blended steak and cheese

      From an Irish guy if I was going to philly that's the place I'd like to try what I imagine as a great Cheesesteak it all comes down to the blend between the steak and the cheese that's where it lives or dies and Dalessandros definitely looked the best For that

    I love cheesesteaks. Last time in Philly, I made my way out to try Tony Luke's (now Tony and Nick's) and John's Roast Pork. 100% agree, thought John's roast pork was incredible (suprisingly, I thought the roast pork sandwich was kind of bland, but maybe the philly cheesesteak was too good haha). I've got to try Dalessandro's next time!

    I'm sad I moved out of the area before ever trying John's Roast Pork. But this is a pretty good compilation for a foreigner to experience. Dale's is easily my 2nd favorite after SQ Philip's which was sadly not visited here. Also, I would have recommended to visit Jim's on South but seeing that this was posted 1 month ago means that Jim's hasn't fully rebuilt yet. I know they had a fire not too long ago so it was just bad timing. Also, shoutout to going to Tony & Nick's, that's the one place I remember from my childhood going to that I forgot the name of. I remember my grandfather and my uncle both taking me there. I think my grandfather took me there when I was super young that I vaguely remember that being my first cheesesteak. Haven't had them in decades but I remember them being a proper joint to go to. For journalism's sake though, you definitely need to revisit and go to Jim's when they are finished rebuilding that way you can go across the street to Lorenzo's pizza and get yourself a slice to pair with a Jim's steak and wrap it in the pizza slice for a classic Philly Taco. Also, go to SQ Philip's, Gooey Louie's, Woodrow's (they have a special truffle whiz - not a fan, myself), Angelo's, Joe's, Tony Luke's (my least favorite), Steve's Prince of Steaks, Cleavers, Sonny's, Shank's, Max's, Ishkabibble's 1& 2, and of course DiNic's Pork & Beef for a full complete trip amongst the giants of cheesesteaks!
