best cheesesteak i have had was a little dive pizza shop outside of scranton pa. they would make a cheesesteak stromboli with mushrooms, onions, and peppers that was incredible. homemade dough was the kicker. craziest thing was the quality control on making it was unreal. i guess depending on who was working that night, the size of the thing would vary +/- 50% in length/width and again that much in how much they stuffed it full of stuff. Sometimes it was so small it barely fed you. Other times it would fill up an entire pizza box and you could get 4 meals out of it. all for the same price.

Donkey's Place is very good, but not a "True" Philadelphia style cheesesteak. A few years back I had one in their then, new Ocean City, NJ location. The poppy seeded kaiser is actually a nice touch.
 
You have never had a good cheese steak until you go to Primanti's on the Strip in Pittsburgh......unbelievably delicious.


I kid....I kid...

Da Burg baby! Da Burg! Da Burg is a foodie wonderland! (John Mayer's next hit!)

The 10 Best website says the vote actually came down to a matter of a few votes between Groove and Dalessandro’s Steaks & Hoagies.

Don’t worry Philly, 7 out of the top 10 best cheesesteaks came from the City of Brotherly love.

I've been to Dalessandro's thanks to suggestions from this board and I still haven't been to the Groove Cheesesteak Company.

No issues here... They referenced it was not a true Philly Cheesesteak. And The Dad just admits to Barry that it was good (never says it's the best) but he's still a Moron. :)
 
The cheesesteak has been replaced in the best sandwich hierarchy with the roast pork with broccoli rabe and provolone. Both, when served on the right roll, are great in my opinion.

The cheesesteak was NEVER the best sandwich. The Italian Hoagie was always more popular in Philly.
 
Donkey's Place in Camden! It's not even on cheesesteak row!

I may have to boycott the show until next episode.
Forksville General Store is really good for non-Philly area.

Also, Deb's Place in Cross Fork, Potter County right along Kettle Creek is pretty good too!
 
What a bunch of pretenders. We all know what you really like...

7 days away from my yearly first Friday of the NCAAs drinking and watching games on South Street. Though as much as I love the basketball and fun, the trip to Jim's is always a favorite part (though some years, use of the singular form of "trip" isn't always correct).

I gotta to back to my Roy Rogers story. Back in the 70's I was a manager at a Roy Rogers in the Harrisburg area. The company promotions guy (reminded me of Herb Tarlack from WKRP) used to come up with some of the worst promotions imaginable to mankind. To celebrate the intro of the big beef sandwich (1 extra oz of beef on a kaiser roll) he printed up a $0.05 coupon towards the purchase of a sandwich. The company upper management in their infinite wisdom ordered each store to increase their beef order by an extra 50% for that week. Needless to say, our store alone had 800 pounds of cryovac bagged top inside round beef leftover that was rapidly approaching it's shelf life. The district manager called the beef processing plant in Scranton and told them about the situation and they readily agreed to buy it back at a discount. We loaded up all the beef from the 3 Harrisburg area stores, loaded it up in an unrefrigerated van and drove it back up to Scranton in the summer. When we got to the processing plant in Scranton we told them about the beef (which at this point was starting to get a bit on the warm side) and asked them what they could possible use it for. They said it doesn't really matter we are just going to use it for minute steaks anyway. I haven't touched a minute steak since that day.
 
I was told Dalessandro's was the best by a former resident. Haven't eaten there yet. But I will be in Philly in May. I'll have to try it.

I went there before a Phillies game last year and wasn't impressed. We waited for a spot to open up at the counter, but thinking we might miss the start of the game, we got it to go and ate in the car nearby. I intend to give it one more try and eat at the counter.

The "best" part of the day was the guys on the dock offered us a tour of the plant. It was entertaining until they took us into the slaughter room. Between the blood, piss and manure I was about to toss my cookies. Then they offered the opportunity to use the bolt machine to kill the cow. I passed and ran for the van. I'm still not sure if they were serious.
