- So glad that I got to do a Cheesesteak Tour when I visited Philadelphia this time because when you are in Philly, you got to eat some good Philly Cheesesteak!!
Cheesesteak sandwiches have always been one of my favorite kind of sandwiches, that's why I had to make it my mission to see what the best Cheesesteak Sandwich that Philly has to offer!
Not only did I get to taste the cheesiest Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich that was oozing out with cheese, but I also got to try one of the biggest Philly Cheesesteak Sandwiches too! This Cheesesteak sandwich is filled with an insanely amount of toppings, full of juicy seasoned meat, fried onions, peppers and most of all, and it has so much cheese!
Mmm, thank you, Philadelphia for your fantastic Cheesesteak Sandwiches, I will be back for more of that cheesy sandwich!

What's your favorite Philly Cheese spot?
Every
Strictly Dumpling
Steve's Prince of steaks!!!
Strictly Dumpling why won't you love me
Strictly Dumpling there is great one in my area but i live in the uk
Strictly Dumpling JIMS STEAKS!!
glorious! Philly, our home town, represent! Jim's was our classic favorite but Johns Roast Pork is underground legend. My high school buddy had the cheesesteak record for so many years at Jim's , ate 12 in an hour and half. He is vegan now...
Brothers Green Eats I think he over beefed and it broke him
It would be suicide to continue being a meat eater after that ahaha
how tf are you not verified yet?
Brothers Green Eats so sad
Brothers Green Eat
The reason why I love watching your show is because you take the time to appreciate the little things like the chilli flakes on the outside of the chilli sticking like magnets. You’re a food poet!
Love
hm for some strange reason my mouth can't stop watering i wonder why 👀
Kyotosomo because you are a normal human being
Because your hungry
gee...I wounder why...
Skipped the tourist traps. I like!
Even them (ginos pats) are better then anything I've had anywhere in US
Jim's is a tourist trap
Tony Luke’s is the best cheese steak in philly
@@detomasopantera1966 Nope, tried a lof of them in Philly, but the best one I ever had was at one tiny place in Michigan oddly enough.
@@neoasura where at?
As a local Philadelphian, I am proud you went to *Jim’s Cheesesteaks!* and picked it as your favorite! Best in the world! One of the greatest places to go at an evening night out in South Street
When I went to Philly we were told by the locals to stay away from Pat's and Geno's. They said that's where all the tourists go and it's always crowded and the sandwiches are overrated. We were told to go to Jim's on South Street so that's where we went and we loved it. Highly recommend Jim's
Aaron Stark yes. Jim’s is the best!
@@amythompson7700 i thought it was Max?
Yes indeed I’m from south philly I never EVER ATE A GENO OR PATS
I think they used to be better a long time ago but when your restaurant becomes the most popular, usually it's inevitable that quality will go down.
Love jims steaks 👏👏👏👏
I haven't watched your vids in a long time as I felt that they were getting kind of repetitive but I'm truly blown away now. The production quality, the enthusiasm and whole over experience impressed me af. After this I'm always gonna be on the lookout for your vids. love it and keep it up mikey
Philly! My hometown glad you came here.
Bumba Cuber same

Outstanding video! I love you because you use the VOCABULARY, a vast collection of descriptive words!! Too many people use phrases like, "super awesome", "super good" , "super... ", and I hate it.
Thank you Strictly Dumpling! Cheers!!
Jan 71 He is even creative with metaphors, similes n allusions
@@srm4196 Please explain similes and allusion. I'm not american
That's why I love watching him
It's not that big of a deal but ok
@@ChocolateEffigy for v e r y simple minded people it might not be a big deal
Dalessandro’s is our favorite! The onions give it a nice smoky flavor on top. Love to double up on the cheese with provolone and wiz
Food and Footprints naw, Jim’s is the best!
Shinobi Jim’s was good and reminded me of Dalessandro’s a bit. But, the line is brutal and makes it much less worthwhile
Food and Footprints dalessandros is the best. Jim’s is to greasy
Joe's is the best!
musicaldancedreamer *too
I'm suprised he went to north Philly Max's which is a true cheese steak place even though its in the hood.. Good Choice glad his stomach has no fear..
Sound Coleman It's on the strip
@@notsure6187 You already..
Yeah its on the main road one block from the crack houses, street ladies, and Hunting park. Its a really nice place to be.
@King Savage someone get this clown
6 cops just got shot in a standoff 2 blocks away lol
I think he is a great candidate for the FOOD NETWORK. Hands down!
i don’t think he’d want to work for a network. he’d give up too much control and wouldn’t be happy
As a philly native, seeing you hit up Jim’s warmed my little heart 😍😂
I keep telling myself I can't keep watching these because it is making me so hungry. However your reactions to what you are eating and the pure joy as you are discussing what you are eating has made me really enjoy your show. Thank you for sharing 😃
Glad to see some real cheesesteak joints on this tour! No thank you Pat’s and Geno’s.
Bless this comment!
Hell yeah
Pat's and Geno's need to learn how to season their beef.
I came here to post this and I’m not even from Philly. If You like food, skip Pat and Geno. The only reason to go there is if you live within two blocks and just want something filling.
Right! Johnny Hot’s off Delaware Ave is pretty good too!
It's late where I live, why do you do this to me!? Only 2 minutes in and i'm salivating! 😂
Adams Eats it's 11:32 rn and I'm hungry now thanks to Mikey :'D rip
I made it to 3 minutes before I had to seek out my own
I guess I'm weak then, I couldnt make it past 30 seconds... >___
Hey Mike....Happy New Year! Of all of the videos that you make, the ones like this and your pizza videos are among my favorites. It'd be really great to see you hit up more places here across the US. There are some amazing places here in middle America that have food that's just as delicious and the food places along the east or west coasts. Hope to see that, but if you don't tour middle America, I'll still enjoy your show. This show never fails to make me hungry :)
MOUTH WATERING PHILLY CHEESE GOODNESS!!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
My hubby used to work for a sub shop and he makes great ones at home. He cooks the meat in a giant cast iron skillet. Bread is very important. And I like whiz and provolone on mine and mushrooms and onions but no bell Pepper because bell Pepper upsets my tummy. I always add some Texas Pete on my steak sandwiches. Yum!
1️⃣💜👸🏻
Thank you for trying Max’s. It is the best cheesesteak I have ever had. There under-rated, they should be known more then those other Cheesesteak spots.
Never had the opportunity to try one of these bad boys. Live in Chicago and was raised on the great big Italian Beef with sweet peppers and hot pepper relish. (Giardenera) They look more tasty with all that cheese and onions though!
I'm so happy you did a cheesesteak video without pat and geno's lol
Mike I'm so glad you went to Max's! I love John's and the original Jim's on 62nd Street. But Max's is a North Philly staple. Great choice.
I'm so proud of you for visiting real philly's neighborhood cheese steak locations. forget PAT's steaks. Love this!
First day on my diet and I see this...
Tony Morris 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Its a sign lol start your diet after the holidays
You're screwed
Tony Morris 😂😂😂😂
I would quit my diet and get a cheese steak
You did it again. I paused the video long before halfway to start looking for a flight to Philadelphia. I have no clue about what else to do there, but I want cheese steak!
12:30 I swear, I'd think I'm watching porn if I had my eyes closed...
LMAO
Lmao
supposedly, same part of the brain responsible for sexual arousal is responsible for food-based arousal, maybe that's why people often speak to their lovers in food terms like "I'm gonn'a eat you up for dinner, baby!" or "When we get to the bedroom, I am going to DEVOUR you!"
@@d.lawrence5670 Thats hilarious lol
and 14:45
*DO NOT WATCH ON AN EMPTY STOMACH*
aholysoul That warning should be on all his videos.
aholysoul I only watch while eating or preparing to eat. Lol
same here lol
I just had dinner. My stomach tells me no, but my mouth tells me yes.
aholysoul I Don't!!!
Damn, I think I can smell all that food through my computer monitor! Good job, brother! Keep these tasty videos coming! :)
We are from NYC and visit Philly often. On our first sandwich trek, we went to the typical tourist spots. Pat's and Geno's. Both we not impressive AT ALL. We fed the Pat's to our dogs. We like Cleavers as well. Someone in the hotel told us about Max's. It was the best cheesesteak we had in Philly. We always buy a couple of their large ones to take home.
I clicked so fast when I saw Philly cheese steak 😂
Sammehhh hahaha good minds think alike
Lol I did to
Mike I'm shocked! You mean you didn't have one, two, three... of those hot cherry peppers they have on the counter at Dalassandro's? Glad you skipped Pat's & Gino's. Actually there's a boatload of great places in the neighborhoods nobody knows about except the peeps that live there. Also Tony Luke's on Oregon Ave is prolly one of the better spots.
6:55 You almost said cheesecake
no he said it
He did.
9:40 how can i lose weight when i always watch this channel. FML
you obviously don't really want to lose weight, then
Just watch but not eat these
Hey from Philly, Mike! You went to Max's! 🤗
When you rolled up to Max's I knew you were legit!
I'm from north Philly I love Max's
Blue flame 555 Dbz same from north philly also. I didn’t think he would try out Max’s
I’m from West Philly and I only go to Max’s... 🤘🏽
Nolwazi Monique LaRue was uuui
Max is not the best Philly cheesesteak plus is nowhere near the OG
this was literally the most mouthwatering damn episode of Strictly Dumpling i've ever seen. damn.
Those are actually great choices. Max's is always unjustly ignored, awesome stuff Mike! A Philly n native.
I've never eaten at any of these places, but I can see why he chose Jim's as the best.
LOLOL then how can say its the best
@@3DGEOPrints Appearance and personal experience. I've had a ton of cheesesteaks, and I can pretty much make an educated guess how they'd taste.
@@zackvanhalen LOLOL ok cant argue with that
I grew up and lived 34 years about 30 minutes down 95 from Center City and have had a million cheesesteaks... everyone knows that you go to Pat's and Geno's for the experience (if you want to see and be seen or hang outside drunk after bar scene etc) but Jim's has been famous forever .... pretty sure Stuff Magazine called them the best like 20 years ago. Plus South Street itself is an experience... but there are hundreds and hundreds small places and pizzerias and little restaurant shops in the Tri State Area that make amazing cheesesteaks ... back in the 90s you could find an awesome cheesesteak prob 5 mins from your house for 5dollars in a 50 miler circular area.
Ugh South Street. 20 years ago most of the the small indy shops had been pushed off South by rising rents, 25 years ago and it was still a fun place to hang out. Jim's has never been better than mediocre. They chop the steak up like that because it's cheap meat. My friends mother used to work at the meat distributor they bought from and she said they never bought anything but the cheapest meat they could buy.
Your first stop is John’s?? Instant high credibility for this video!! Not just the food but the atmosphere, too. Love it!!
I dont need it. I dont need it. I definitely dont need it. I dont need it...
I NEEEEEEED IIIIIT!!!
I’ll be in Philly next week for work and am now going to Jim’s
Who else is hungry after watching this video? 😋😋😋
Ms Nabih all of his videos make me hungry lol
Ms NaNadievxgvv deyyhjihhjhff
after seeing Man VS Food in Philly, i knew i'd need two things in me, Roast Pork and Philly Cheesesteak.
As a native, you can honestly go to virtually any corner store or pizza place and get a phenomenal cheese steak 😆 I know if you’re visiting and not familiar with the neighborhoods, you might not be in an area where a good bodega is or may not “feel safe” but trust me on that advice.
Back with the yummy food ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
thank you :-)
This video couldn't come at a better time as I'm going to Philadelphia next week thank you
big Cadillac Lucky you!
Pats and Genos steaks are trash. Born and raised in philly still live here and Pats and Genos steaks taste like cardboard that’s why Mikey didn’t go
The reason Pats and Genos get longer lines than Jim’s is simple they are tourist destinations(traps) and they are for the drunk club goers that don’t have anywhere else to go for a cheesesteak. Mikey knew where to go for a good cheesesteak. Non of which were Pats or Genos. Mom and Pop stores have better cheesesteaks, shoot the Chinese American takeout places here make better cheesesteaks lol Just because celebrities visit a place doesn’t make it good. But try them out if you’d like to know what wet cardboard and cheese on bread taste like
7:16 not actually THE Jim of Jim's steak HAHA
Yay, Mikey! Great seeing you here in Philly and enjoying those scrumptious sandwiches. Other places I'd recommend - Ishkabibble's and Mi-Pal. The former for steaks; the latter for their eggplant parm sandwich. Thanks for visiting.
Right he was right across thebst from ishkabibbles.
Mike, As a life long Philly resident, I was so excited to see you visiting cheesesteak places that are not tourist traps! I live 10 min from Dallasandros and they make an awesome cheesteak and tuna hoagie (got one in my fridge right now. Pat’s on South Street is IMO, even more delicious. I have never, ever seen Pat’s so empty. There is almost always a line down the side street.
The descriptions are dreamy best ever love it must share
I don’t think I’ve ever craved cheesesteak like I do now 🤤
Because of you my husband rushed to buy a philly cheesesteak nearby, and it was nothing like what you’ve eaten 😑😑😑
You can only get a cheesesteak in Philly for the most part any place that calls it a Philly cheesesteak you know is not a real Cheesesteak cuz that's not what we call it
SuckaFree215 You are so right. lol. Places in philly call it a "Cheesesteak". Every where i been outside of philly call it a "Philly Cheese Steak", even jersey that is 10 minutes from philly, cant make a cheesesteak properly.
Most places out of philly use thick slices of the leanest steak possible, which is tough and has no flavor and has no grease or juice. A cheesesteak is suppose to have grease and juice coming out of the steak.
But places out of philly buy the leanest meat because its more healthy for you. But people are not buying a cheesesteak to eat healthy. LOL. They want to eat a cheesesteak with a lot of flavor and melting in the mouth tender.

@King Savage nothing good comes out of Florida except football players
@King Savage lolol
There is a reason for dining tables, it catches the food before it hits the ground
14:50 "It's the length of my arm!" thats what she said :v
Before the video: should i start it without eating anything
After: yeah, i'll never learn...
everytime.
Max's is my fav but now I need to try Jim's. Great review!
You gotta go to a corner store/ papi store spot for the best oneee
yoyo ma no! Papi steaks are TRASH
This video was *Grate!*
Yeah, that was *Cheesy...*
*Ok, I'm Gouda now...*
That made brie laugh
I think these puns were a big miSTEAK
Dad stoooooop
Dylan Chen 😂😂😂😂😂
Strictly Dumpling these puns are so PARMasan
Keep the vids coming! You really should come to Houston! We are such a melting pot!
TX X bye Felicia....
Oh you went to the hood with Max's. Great choice...
MIAPhilly Yeah he definitely gets points for that! That's my favorite cheesesteak spot.
MIAPhilly I’m from Norristown. And that’s my spot.
11:30 I would have asked that fine woman to join me hahaha! He ran right passed her.
You deserve millions of subscribers Mikey 👍
Steak = happiness
Cheese = happiness
Steak + Cheese = PURE BLISSSS
simple math ;)
Nathan Widjaja excellent deduction. I'd say you're a math cheese wiz 😉😥
god i want one right now lol.
Quick Maffs
The way he explain food it sounds like poetry 😂
YUM! I always get so hungry watching your videos!
this video is cheesy but it's not a mis-steak
Katie Li lol 😆
I hate and love you at the same time
Katie Li did you just...
I see whatcha did there!!!!
Get out
When a grown man takes his voice up to Disney princess heights.... you damn well better take the recommendation! Awsome video, trip to Philly added to the bucket list.
I'm a fan of white American on my cheese steak.. and as someone else said.. go to Mom & Pop's places. my in laws like sauces on their cheese steak..
Mike, I've seen you eat all around the world, thanks for coming to Philly. Especially a new york guy giving us some credit. And thanks for saying what I always tell people, Philly isn't just a cheese steak town, it's a sandwich town. Roast pork, meatball, chicken parm, sausage and peppers, italian hoagie, Philly hoagie rolls make the sandwich
two years later, are we still gonna ignore the little scream of terror at 15:10 when a bit of cheese and steak fell?
I felt that
People from Philly represent 🔥
Lex like it says in our constitution, we are legally required to shout out where we’re from when we hear someone else talkin’ about it. PHILLLAAAAYYYYYY!!!
Lex 🙌🙌🙌🙌!
Ayyyyyyyy
right here!!!!!
reppin the 2-1-5
Did anybody realize that he just ate 7 gigantic cheese steaks by himself in one day?
陈志远 吃太多了
I have a feeling he eats what you see on camera and the camera man or whatever helps eat the rest
i always asked myself the same!
That's what I said... he had to have help lol....
That's nothing, I saw a video of some dude eat 12 Philly cheesesteaks in 16 hours, although I'm pretty sure he got assistance like other people do/did.
The seeded "sarcone rolls" is what makes the best.
*Rewatches episode and immediately puts Philadelphia on food bucket list, and adds ingredients for cheesesteak to expanding grocery list* Yup time to stock up the fridge. Thanks Mike! 😊✋👍
Maxx's to is my fav. I wish I knew you were coming, I would have treated you. I'm glad you had a good time here.
Ommmmiiiigooshhh I just want to cry wen u eat Mike .tears of happiness roll dwn my mouth
Try a hoagie its literally a blessing to the soul. I remember as a kid my mom giving us (4 kids) cash to go to the local popi store to get hoagie and sodas 😭i swear the 90's were the best times
Whats a hoagie?
@@brandonknable7890 uncultured swineeee! Jkjk its what they call a sub or submarine sandwich in parts of the us but mainly eastern Pennsylvania
Josh Gluchoff or grinder
U gotta try one from 2nd and Ontario at Jason's
We had it good growing up in the 90’s in philly now everyone thinks wawa has a great hoagie 😂
how to get more meat on your sandwich: Be a famous youtuber
matt damon not really the sandwiches do come that size
Nope...that's the size of the sandwiches, I've eaten here my whole life
dude I've been to those places enough to know when they are stuffing them for the camera
matt damon then next time start filming them when they're preparing your sandwich
I went to Jim's last year when I went to Philly (from Australia) and it was so good! The roll was great too!
Love your vids man! ❤️
Max’s cheesesteaks the best, real deal !!
Shadiest place I've ever been to, couldn't even get inside
@@jenjen1112 it's not Shady. You are just uncomfortable lol
Mi Kayla Max’s n johns hittn.... dem papi store joints be hittn to in my block lol
Its 530am and I'm on Waze calculating an ETA to Jim's from DC.
Philly also has the *BIGGEST* pizza, i get a slice whenever i go to a flyers game
how do u eat so much in one day...lol...
Weed!!!
mandalor-83 1 correct
He hardcore works out twice a day
@@Murica1st does working out make u eat more or something? i feel like i still cant eat that much in one setting even if i do a hardcore work out
I would be obese if I ate like that
The only person who eats in order to get ready to eat. Jim’s looked incredible.
Oh my gosh! Jim’s cheesesteak looks so good i want some right now
never buy a cheesesteak from a spot where there meat is already cooked, it's flavorless and over cooked. Tony lukes is also good.
Things Philadelphia gave us
1. The Declaration of Independence
2. Ben Franklin
3. Cheesesteaks
I’m so happy that you’re in my city!! Wish that I could’ve meet you! ❤️ Max is the best from my opinion 😆
I want.
this is my favorite video from Mikey since it's in my city. Joe's steak is really good as well, but Jim's is also a favorite.
1) Dalessandros
1b) Joe's Steak + Soda
2) Steve's Prince of Steaks
3) Jims
4) Chubbys
5) Donkeys Place in New Jersey
Johns Roast Pork is awesome, but I really cant get past the top 6 i have listed
Do you leave leftovers to your cameraman or you keep him a bit hungry?
Vatsek he probably eats one off screen
You can see other half is for someone......
Come to Chicago and do this with the Italian Beefs next ;)
We'd love you here in Chicago!
Mike please come to Chicago!
Too dangerous. It's not worth it.
i'm glad you're still alive
Want to see you in Chicago as well, however you are warned about visiting in the dead of winter, it earns it's name as the windy city.
(He didn't actually finish all those cheese steaks in one day?)
No. Its too dangerous.
Despite that I’m only 12 I’ve grown up in Philadelphia eating cheesesteaks as they are my favorite childhood food
Salute!!! In the hood at Max's. Ppl from out the area always ask for a whole, when they mean half. Lol Still missed a couple spots.
Nothing beats a philly provolone with!!!! That salty provolone is perfect on the steak
Provolone 👍. I hate whiz
Max is my favorite and I’m from Philly!!!
Me too philly all day
