I’m from Philly and have been there with my wife when the Eagles were there. I can tell you the cheesesteak experience is authentic and is a must for anyone who has never had a cheesesteak. As a side note London is a great vacation destination.
My first job as a teenager was as a grill cook making mostly Cheesesteaks. Not in Philly, but in Chicago. We made a variety of styles, including the classic Philly. I loved that job. Making something delicious and watching people enjoy it made me fall in love with cooking. Glad to see another smile somewhere else in the world for such an iconic sandwich.
I've just found your channel and am really impressed. Your delivery to the viewer is natural, relaxed but informative. Your descriptive skills are excellant. I'm looking forward to watching all your videos. Very well done.
As a Philadelphian, I I am pleased our great culinary tradition is being recognized. Hot roasted pork with sharp provolone and broccoli rabe , and the Italian Hoagie should be next. Finally there is scrapple, which is the Pennsylvania version of haggis.
As a Philly Lady, I completely agree with your statement. Gary needs to try all three of our culinary delights. Nice to see our Eagles represented there. I would definitely visit that amazing place if I get the opportunity to go on holiday in London. That was a proper cheesesteak, right down to the roll, which is the most important part. By the way, I love haggis as well.
Hot roast pork, provolone and broccoli rabe from DiNic's is great - Adam from Man vs Food put me onto it, and I tried it next time I visted from Australia
I worked in American for 3 summers when I was a student and the number one thing I missed from my time there was a proper Philly cheesesteak, absolutely love them. Definitely visiting this place on my next visit to London.
That looks fantastic Gary, what a lovely historical pub, I really enjoy visiting places like that. I did actually visit there with a friend when I was 16 and I am now 77, so don’t remember much of it except it was at night, dark and very creepy ! Although I remembered the historical entrance. The food looked good and the portion size just right - not out faced ! Would like to taste the beef dripping gravy for authenticity as I like to think I’m a self appointed gravy expert 🤣🤣. I make all my own (taught by my late Mum) so I’m not easily fooled 🤣 cheers again👍
I'm from Texas and the Philadelphia Eagles are our mortal enemies. However, the Philly Cheesesteak is absolutely delicious! Thank goodness that you can even get a pretty darn good one in Texas. Glad you loved this iconic American sandwich Gary! As always, love your reviews, keep up the good work!
I only just discovered this place exists. While I live in Florida I come from outside of Philadelphia and am a lifelong Phillies fan. When the Phillies played in London this past June, I wasn’t able to get there. Though I enjoyed watching I continually regretted not being able to enjoy two of my favorite things: Phillies baseball and a pint of real English ale. But yeah a slice of Philadelphia in London with a Philly cheesesteak! Can’t beat it! Next time I visit England I’ll make sure to stop by. Thanks for this Gary!
There's three key ingredients to a great cheesesteak - the roll, the meat, and the cheese. While that sounds stupid and obvious, as a local tour guide, history buff, and foodie/cook here in Philly, I can tell you even places here, but especially around the world, get this simple sandwich wrong. The roll, which we call a hoagie or steak roll in Philly, needs to be super crisp (not like a 5 day old french baguette crisp) to help trap the ingredients, outside, and super soft inside to sop up all of the juices from the meat (and onions if you get them) as well as the melted cheese. Having the wrong roll is what about 49% of places do to make it a bad sandwich. The meat needs to be paper thin slices. Here in Philly, most legit places, even the local neighborhood pizza/sandwich shops, used Ribeye steaks that have been frozen, and then cut on a deli slicer, as you would with any cold cut or lunch meat. If it's a good cut of meat and properly sliced thin, you can put it down on the griddle frozen as it will only take a few minutes, I mean 3-4, to get to the right spot. You want the meat perfectly medium. No red/pink, but DEFINITELY not medium well or well done. Some places like Geno's or Steve's Prince of Steaks in Philly will literally leave the slices as the are and some people prefer that. Other places, like Pat's (who invented it in the 1930's) will "chop", or pull the slices about into finer and finer pieces. You don't need it to be mince meat thin, but chopping it up, in my humble opinion, gives it a better mouth feel as you can just bite into the sandwich, chew a few times quickly, and boom, ready for another slice whereas the places that don't chop it up, the pieces of meat can be harder to chew and then you end up chewing on the meat long past when the part of the roll, the onions (or other toppings), in that bite you just took have already made it to your stomach. The meat is what about 49% of places get wrong. Hell, I've even scene celebrity chefs like Gordon Ramsey use "steak" - and leave the pieces of meat so thick that you'd think you were eating a literal steak on a roll. It's disgusting. The other key ingredient is the cheese. Liquid Cheese Wiz, American (sliced or in liquid form), and Provolone all work. Specific versions of American - like Cooper Sharp, and Provolone give them a much more sophisticated taste, for a sandwich, as does adding a bit of your favorite toppings - fried onions, fried/warmed pickle slices (not whole damn spears), and/or very finely cut and fried peppers (hot or mild doesn't matter). NEVER put Cheddar, Swiss, or anything else on it for the authentic taste/flavor. US Presidential candidate John Kerry was mocked on local/national media back in 2004 for coming to Philly and trying to order one with Swiss....lol. The cheese is usually only wrong about 2% of the time. You can put some ketchup on it. NEVER mustard, never mayo (in my opinion)....and never anything else in terms of condiments. The ketchup, more is okay for kids, should be just enough to help aid in softening up the roll and adding a little bit of acidity and tang to the meat/cheese/onion flavor. You don't drown the damn thing in ketchup once you're 13 or older. And if you ever come to Philly, the proper way to order is "# of cheesesteaks in this style", the cheese style, with or without (wit or witout) fried onions, and then if you want to add pickles, peppers, or something that comes next. Some places have condiments and veggies (besides onions) out for you to add at your leisure. If you don't see them, then would end the order with veggies (if you want any) and then you can ask for ketchup (or not) on it. So a proper order would sound like "yeah hi, can I get 1 (insert "cheesesteak if the place sells more than that", american, wit, fried pickles (if they have them), ketchup please. Then can I get 1, whiz, witout, light ketchup). Boom, that simple.
Did all 3 branches (at the time) in one day, although just for wings and citywide specials, always pop in when I’m in central and my daughter loves it too!
Had my first, cooked up by a hoary Philly native, while out in NYC writing about cummings, White, and cheeseburgers. They insisted that the key to Philly cheesesteak sandwich is Cheez Whiz. All about the Whiz. Nowadays, with my being bound to Britain once more, I crave them. Too few places do it with Whiz. I congratulate you on both your first experience and a lucky find of such a gem to enjoy it from.
That did look yummy, i love that combo, ive not had an authentic one , i always have a beef and cheese melt with salad from Subway but it is really nice, ty for sharing Gary,a well deserved 10 🎉
Wow Gary amazing vlog, i thought at the start of the clip you were in America. I make a lot of copycat foods, and my lot love Philly Cheese stakes, the secret i find is to velvet the beef, it make's all the difference, love your clips my friend. Chris.
I've not had one my entire life and I know how much I've been missing out now. Thanks for the tips, might have to start making them myself. Thanks for watching!
I’ve been bouncing around your channel a lot lately, Señor Eats. I thought since this was one of your first videos, that many things might have changed. And some have, but mostly the graphics. I was pleasantly surprised to see your early reviews be as enjoyable as they are in your more recent videos. I think you just have a knack for this! One thing I noticed: you mentioned a health concern while eating this sub. Yet, oddly, eating five rounds of oil with a side of fish and chips and peas in Whitby garnered no such concerns. 🤔
Hey Gary, the best Philly cheese steak I ever had was at the The Wildwood Inn in Canterbury. Blooooooody lovely. You should pay them a visit. Very good when I went
I had the best meal of my life in Philly (no, it wasn't a cheesesteak). You should check out Morimoto's if you make it there. Glad you enjoyed your meal so much!
I found the original bar in Cleveland street near the BT Tower about 7 years ago, I used to frequent it quite a lot, it’s only small and is pretty quaint.
Glad you got to try this! I've suffered through some bad eats with your channel, but it looks like you found a winner here. Hope you took a couple home for later. :)
I went to Philly in 2013 and didn't have a cheesesteak. I wish I had have done. I don't know about loving that cheesesteak Gary, it looked like you were making love to it 😂
Afternoon Gary, its a Bank Holiday, just caught the Philly Cheesesteak vlog. Brilliant 😊. Its what i call movie food. We hear about certain foods in the films & TV shows mainly from the U.S of A. Burgers, Hotdogs, Chilli ect,ect . I'm glad they came over😅.Yours was very well filled, looked juicy and the roll,was tell tale soft.Thought the price was right 😊 Also Thought the area looked( age showing word coming up)FUNKY!😅😅❤. On my new " give it a go " list Cheers Allan&Family
Afternoon Allan. Really pleased that you're watching my videos! Definitely movie food, the cheesesteak was excellent and I would highly recommend it. The place surrounding the restaurant is very cool as well. Thank you for watching!
Dear Gary, I’m In Philadelphia as I type and I can’t get enough cheesesteaks into my belly. I had 4 last week and I fear for myself this week. The whizz sauce. Oh the whizz. Bliss
My daughter brought home some canned squirty cheese from her G'day USA school trip to California. I though how disgusting but we decided to make Philly Cheese steak sarnies with this plastic cheese. It blew my mind. So delicious. Not something you want to eat every day but deffo worth a try once!!!!
When I lived in Philly I loved cheese whizz! But my American pal said locals order with provolone instead as it’s proper cheese 😂 but that sauce… it’s too good
Gary, cheessteak is just a start should you venture this side of the pond. Etuffee, jambalaya, gumbo, anything BBQ'd great desserts such as Boston cream pie, endless regional food. Looking forward to your revues of North American food.
Thanks for more content. I find your videos chilled and great to catch if I have five minutes here and there. If you ever consider a trip to the States, you’re in for a trip treat with the Philly cheesesteaks there. They tend to say wiz with or wiz without for with onions or without. Personally, I prefer American cheese rather than Wiz (as in processed squares) but LOVE cheesesteaks. Waterloo has some good places :) Thanks again. Commenting for any small contribution to algorithms. Best again.
This one looks fantastic, that cheesesteak! WOW indeed!, the table tennis and shuffle sound great too, although you may need to brush on those skills Gary! haha! Couple of pints and a game of ping pong sound perfect!
I have been to 2 out of the 3 locations, bloody lovely-making me very hungry Gaz 😋😋 Not been to the ones in London for a while will def do this within the next few weeks 🤘 Last time I had one in America was 6 + half very long years ago!
Philly cheesesteak sandwiches are great, however, I can only eat half a one in one sitting. My father eats the other half. Great review, and I agree it's a 10/10.
With office workers being asked to go back to working at the office rather than from home, this sort of lunch meal is going to gain traction, I would have thought. Another excellent review. Many thanks.
Flying to Columba, Ohio, my plane trip was diverted to Philadelphia. The guy on passport control insisted that I tried their iconic sandwich he got a young guy meet me at gate with the biggest roll I'd everseen. I shared it with two students on the plane. Philly cheese steak was amazing. i hope next trip I end up in Philadelphia just to have another.
I'm a native Philadelphian who loved watching your review Sir. Naturally, I cannot be objective when grading our most beloved cheesesteak. But, for you to give it a 10 out of 10 certainly carries a lot of weight. Next time though you need a side of cherry peppers to go with that sandwich. Cheers mate.
Sorry Gary, somehow my comment for Wapping has gone into this video review?? Still I’m sure you’ll work it out ! Your Philly cheese steak sandwich looked great, would like to try one of those ! Thanks for the great review 👍
My pleasure. I lived in the Philly area for 11.5 years. There has always been two camps, the Geno's and the Pat's. They take their cheesesteaks very seriously there. Enjoy!@@GaryEats
Really love your channel and I'm already planning to visit many of the restaurants you have showcased. It would, however, be really helpful if you could mention where these places are and also put that in your description. Half the pleasure of watching a food review channel is imagining visiting said restaurant so please, just state where they are.
Big fan of Philly Cheesteaks but even in Philly the perfection varies wildly. The bun must be toasted lightly and the meat drained (you'd be surprised how many don't) so bun doesn't get soggy. The one in this vid looked perfect!
If you liked that, you must take the voyage to Philadelphia. A tremendous food city with so many options. Also a fantastic sports city. Catch a Phils game if you can. Cheers pal
I have had Philly cheesesteak a couple of times and to me they were okay. Not a big fan of warm sandwiches other than a simple grilled cheese or maybe a BLT. This sandwich looked good though and I appreciate that the sauce is homemade.
@@mrpersianality6363 Why are you butt hurt someone called you out? Ribeye ain’t a cheap cut, dope. Charley’s, the largest Philly chain, uses CHOICE meat. Stop digging.
Hi Gary, my wife and I visited on Saturday, fantastic meal with great service and a nice relaxed vibe. The service was spot on, music was at a reasonable volume, TV was not blearing out, good turnover of customers, easily a 9/10 we will be returning for sure! Thanks for the review.
The Philly Cheese steak looked good, but it was missing a key ingredient, Green Peppers! I am in the US and I have never had a Philly Cheese steak without Green Peppers! It's a must in my opinion!
🇺🇲🏈Authentic American restaurant, wow.. that's awesome! Can't beat the original. Did the cameramen get to nosh, too?🙏🏽🙏🏽 #pleaseFeedTheCameraman. 😅😊 Thank you both for sharing your yummy meal!🧀🥩🥖
The cameraman had something to eat at this restaurant after the review! He was very happy. I can't believe I've never had a Cheesesteak before. Have you had one?
@GaryEats Thank you for the cool reply. Never had an authentic one, but if they do a gluten free, dairy free one.. babe, I'm there!!🇺🇲🥖🥩😉 thanks again, both of you are champions of London Cuisine. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🍽
Is the whizz (hope I’ve spelt it correctly) is it just cheese sauce with onions? I was flung to say who cares if it’s healthy. I’d give it a good go though.
Hey Gary n camera man 👨- found you via Danny rate my takeaway, going through. I admire ya honesty, but I’m questioning myself because of the drink level 😂😂😂 did you film the intro at table AFTER you had ya food? Judging by the drink level is only why I ask 😂
😂 you could have lied by saying you topped ya drink up 😂 but you didn’t, and that I admire!!! 😂 honesty is always the best policy which is why I’m watching lol 😂
not a bar for me i am a massive la rams fan go rams lol when i see the start i thought you had gone to the bronx picle i take it you meant a gherkin what is wizz sauce liked the way the bill came up on the screen thought it was going to get a big ben ten by the look on your face never had one but if the chance was to arrive i would jump at it thanks again steve
Might start supporting the Rams myself mate as you are. The wizz sauce was very nice and I can recommend it highly. Please do try one when you can mate.
Oh my jebus can someone please get this poster some punctuation it is so unbelievably hard to parse what this person is trying to say without using any punctuation whatsoever I mean who cares what team you like if you are in the united kingdom you don’t have much access to certain american foods so if you can get a great philly cheesesteak there who cares what jerseys are displayed and how can you be an american and not know what wiz sauce is I think most children born these days come out of the womb holding a jar of it oops I almost hit a period there by mistake my body is so trained to use punctuation but I am fighting against it mightily you should look up a pickle and a gherkin if you are going to comment on what Señor Eats is saying wtf are you eating to have never had one of these sandwiches let me guess a whole lot of kombucha am I right oops almost hit a question mark there but I am getting the hang of this now wow it is so freeing not to be beholden to these cursed marks of shackled punctuation haha no dreaded need for a period there either anyways nice video Gary
I’m a Niners fan and I’m always welcomed, even fully jersey’d up! Leave your team “rivalry” at home, most UK NFL fans don’t care outside of watching games, and most Americans are just surprised we follow their game!
Would love an explanation for this. We started the Revolutionary War because we knew that 200 or so years into the future we would create a sandwich that is tasty? 🤔 Does Yorkshire pudding explain WW2? I’m so confused…
wait before the steak sandwich came to the table you drink glass was half full. when its is on the table the drinks glass is almost full. what magic is this. hehehe but it could be you did the table talk and end at the same time. it really just looks like a Subway, have you tried the chicken Ceasar salad one. if you have the app they offered a 12 " for £5. As was that £16 for the cheesesteak. which is once again a lot for it.
My brother lives in Phoenixville and I crave cheesesteaks when im back home.also a big Eagles fan.enjoyed the review but I have to say I never seen a man more out of place! 😂 looks like Alan partridge in a KFC 😂
I've been to Philadelphia many times and I must say they make the best cheese steaks I've ever eaten. My favorite is Pat's King of Steaks even though they use a processed cheese whiz. Genos Steak which is literally across the street uses provolone cheese which personally I can't stand the smell of. Then there is Marino Bros and Tony Lukes which is famous for a roast pork sub with broccoli rabe. Everyone has a favorite and one thing is for sure; here in the states everyone agrees to disagree.
I’m from Philly and have been there with my wife when the Eagles were there. I can tell you the cheesesteak experience is authentic and is a must for anyone who has never had a cheesesteak. As a side note London is a great vacation destination.
Thanks for letting me know. Loved it there.
He got a ‘wiz whit’!
I was shocked to see my school’s (Temple) flag on the wall - go Owls!
My first job as a teenager was as a grill cook making mostly Cheesesteaks. Not in Philly, but in Chicago. We made a variety of styles, including the classic Philly. I loved that job. Making something delicious and watching people enjoy it made me fall in love with cooking. Glad to see another smile somewhere else in the world for such an iconic sandwich.

Thanks for commenting!
I was born in South Philadelphia November 1963. It’s a thrill to see you in my hometown. I’m glad you enjoyed the cheesesteak!🙋🏻♂️👍
Loved it!!
He's in London tho
@albertbeaney2580 your comment makes no sense ... haha he is in the UK and in London. This isn't America , so he isn't in your hometown
I've just found your channel and am really impressed. Your delivery to the viewer is natural, relaxed but informative. Your descriptive skills are excellant. I'm looking forward to watching all your videos. Very well done.
Wow, thank you! That's really kind of you to say and I'm glad you're enjoying my videos.
As a Philadelphian, I I am pleased our great culinary tradition is being recognized. Hot roasted pork with sharp provolone and broccoli rabe , and the Italian Hoagie should be next. Finally there is scrapple, which is the Pennsylvania version of haggis.
Love it! Thanks for watching.
@danbernstein4694 Sorry to disappoint you mate. *NOTHING* rivals the *HAGGIS!*
@@AngusMacKinnon-xm5ko I have tried both and I agree.

Hot roast pork, provolone and broccoli rabe from DiNic's is great - Adam from Man vs Food put me onto it, and I tried it next time I visted from Australia
I worked in American for 3 summers when I was a student and the number one thing I missed from my time there was a proper Philly cheesesteak, absolutely love them. Definitely visiting this place on my next visit to London.
Thanks for sharing that. Brilliant stuff 😊
Gary happy... happy me watching 👍
Can't get enough of these Video
Glad you like them!
My Dad would of loved this! He went to the USA in 1962 was there for 4 months absolutely 💯 loved it
I really enjoyed this one as well, Helen ❤️🌹

As always, love your reviews, keep up the good work!
Thanks so much John
Glad you finally tried one .. its ny favorite snd probably one of the best food items on the planet.. hands down
Fantastic
Philadelphia Cheesesteaks are the Best. A actual pronunciation of the name sounds like Pass-e-unc avenue like saying short for uncle
Thank you for the information
Afternoon Gary what a restaurant! Must give it a go. 10/10 great Thank you Gary
Many thanks!
Glad you enjoyed. I'm thrilled Passyunk Avenue is doing so well across the pond.
It’s absolutely fantastic 💯💯💯🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

I’ve been there, and the branch in Newman Street. Absolutely fantastic, and with extra whizz cheese sauce.😍
Fantastic stuff Steve. Glad you liked it there mate!
Love your enthusiasm. I will give it a visit if I ever go back to London.
Thank you. Give it a go.
That Philly cheesteak looked delicious, I have only ever had one and it was yummy! X Nicole
It was very very tasty my first one, Nicole x
That looked delicious.😁I think to say you looked like you really enjoyed it would be an understatement.😋
It was!
Been my favorite place to visit from when it was in the Worlds Food Court in Stratford. Glad you agree
It’s very good Richie
3.52 I wish someone looked at me the way Gary looks at that Philly cheesesteak ))))
Lol Robbie. It was superb!
😂😂😂😂❤😂
I've been looking for a decent philly cheesesteak in London for a while. This video is perfectly timed! I'll give this a go.
No problem Jonathan. Enjoy!
I've had Philly Cheesesteaks in Philadelphia & they can't be beaten! Great video Gary!
They're excellent!
Did all 3 branches (at the time) in one day, although just for wings and citywide specials, always pop in when I’m in central and my daughter loves it too!
That is fantastic to hear nice one
Cheers and thanks again Gary! Great work matey.
My pleasure
Went here back in October I think it was and tried it. And same words was coming out of my mouth! It’s just delicious
Superb!!
Had my first, cooked up by a hoary Philly native, while out in NYC writing about cummings, White, and cheeseburgers.
They insisted that the key to Philly cheesesteak sandwich is Cheez Whiz. All about the Whiz.
Nowadays, with my being bound to Britain once more, I crave them. Too few places do it with Whiz.

You looked like a happy boy at Christmas time when you had your first bite! Lovely video - thank you!
I was!
I found the original bar in Cleveland street near the BT Tower about 7 years ago, I used to frequent it quite a lot, it’s only small and is pretty quaint.
Nice
late vid upload just about to go to bed thnks gary xx
Hope you enjoyed it!
That looks delicious Gaz, of all your videos I've watched I don't think I've seen you go MMMMMM so quickly !!! I want one now !! 😋😋😋
Absolutely sensational!!
Glad you got to try this! I've suffered through some bad eats with your channel, but it looks like you found a winner here.
Hope you took a couple home for later. :)
It was delicious
Great review Gary. Looked nice that Cheesesteak 👍
So good Mark and an absolutely brilliant place to go to watch American football 🏈👍
I went to Philly in 2013 and didn't have a cheesesteak. I wish I had have done. I don't know about loving that cheesesteak Gary, it looked like you were making love to it 😂
Still chance to have some in the UK. Amazing food. I might as well have been!
Love the way those tourists took off as soon as you squatted down in the tunnel 😂
😂😂😳
Afternoon Gary, its a Bank Holiday, just caught the Philly Cheesesteak vlog. Brilliant 😊. Its what i call movie food. We hear about certain foods in the films & TV shows mainly from the U.S of A. Burgers, Hotdogs, Chilli ect,ect . I'm glad they came over😅.Yours was very well filled, looked juicy and the roll,was tell tale soft.Thought the price was right 😊 Also Thought the area looked( age showing word coming up)FUNKY!😅😅❤. On my new " give it a go " list Cheers Allan&Family
Afternoon Allan. Really pleased that you're watching my videos! Definitely movie food, the cheesesteak was excellent and I would highly recommend it. The place surrounding the restaurant is very cool as well. Thank you for watching!
Awesome review dude, i might check out this spot when I visit London
Thank you! You should definitely visit.
Dear Gary,
I’m In Philadelphia as I type and I can’t get enough cheesesteaks into my belly. I had 4 last week and I fear for myself this week. The whizz sauce. Oh the whizz. Bliss
You certainly like your cheesecake
Gosh that looks amazing. So tasty and juicy.
It was really good Nicholas
First had one of these on the North Sea oil rigs over 35 years ago along with Boston Beans been making my own ever since
Truly incredible bit of food. Love it.
My daughter brought home some canned squirty cheese from her G'day USA school trip to California. I though how disgusting but we decided to make Philly Cheese steak sarnies with this plastic cheese. It blew my mind. So delicious. Not something you want to eat every day but deffo worth a try once!!!!
They’re absolutely delicious!!
When I lived in Philly I loved cheese whizz! But my American pal said locals order with provolone instead as it’s proper cheese 😂 but that sauce… it’s too good
I really really enjoyed this one
That looked completely delicious. Good price, too. Hubby Joe would love that!
Gary, cheessteak is just a start should you venture this side of the pond. Etuffee, jambalaya, gumbo, anything BBQ'd great desserts such as Boston cream pie, endless regional food. Looking forward to your revues of North American food.
One day for sure 👌👌👌
Thanks for more content. I find your videos chilled and great to catch if I have five minutes here and there. If you ever consider a trip to the States, you’re in for a trip treat with the Philly cheesesteaks there. They tend to say wiz with or wiz without for with onions or without. Personally, I prefer American cheese rather than Wiz (as in processed squares) but LOVE cheesesteaks. Waterloo has some good places :) Thanks again. Commenting for any small contribution to algorithms. Best again.
You're very kind. Thank you! I wish I tried this much sooner.
This one looks fantastic, that cheesesteak! WOW indeed!, the table tennis and shuffle sound great too, although you may need to brush on those skills Gary! haha!
Couple of pints and a game of ping pong sound perfect!
I loved it here! Lovely staff as well.
I lived in England for a long time and this was my to go place for some American vibe. Home away from home.
Great to hear!
I have been to 2 out of the 3 locations, bloody lovely-making me very hungry Gaz 😋😋
Not been to the ones in London for a while will def do this within the next few weeks 🤘
Last time I had one in America was 6 + half very long years ago!
Love them. A fantastic cheesesteak
What a sandwich! All the elements for a tasty treat.
Oh yes.
Philly cheesesteak sandwiches are great, however, I can only eat half a one in one sitting. My father eats the other half. Great review, and I agree it's a 10/10.
Sounds lovely. They're great aren't they? Thanks for watching!
The perfect date hehe.....order 2 and get 1.5 for yourself 🤗😋
With office workers being asked to go back to working at the office rather than from home, this sort of lunch meal is going to gain traction, I would have thought. Another excellent review. Many thanks.
More than welcome Jeff. It’s an excellent place 😊
That looked very authentic. I’ve eaten many cheesesteaks in Philly
Tasted superb!!
Flying to Columba, Ohio, my plane trip was diverted to Philadelphia. The guy on passport control insisted that I tried their iconic sandwich he got a young guy meet me at gate with the biggest roll I'd everseen. I shared it with two students on the plane. Philly cheese steak was amazing. i hope next trip I end up in Philadelphia just to have another.
They’re delicious
Good grief omg 😲 😳 amazing looks delicious am feeling hungry again lop 😂😂
This was very good as you could see Helen ❤️🌹🇦🇺
I'm a native Philadelphian who loved watching your review Sir. Naturally, I cannot be objective when grading our most beloved cheesesteak. But, for you to give it a 10 out of 10 certainly carries a lot of weight. Next time though you need a side of cherry peppers to go with that sandwich. Cheers mate.
Thank you and I will Joey 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Sorry Gary, somehow my comment for Wapping has gone into this video review?? Still I’m sure you’ll work it out ! Your Philly cheese steak sandwich looked great, would like to try one of those ! Thanks for the great review 👍
No problem.
Hi Gary. If you are going all the way to Philadelphia from London, you should go to either Geno's or Pat's.
I will do Dennis. Thank you!!
My pleasure. I lived in the Philly area for 11.5 years. There has always been two camps, the Geno's and the Pat's. They take their cheesesteaks very seriously there. Enjoy!@@GaryEats
Looks fantastic place. Next time in London we must have a go😅
Please do!
Really love your channel and I'm already planning to visit many of the restaurants you have showcased. It would, however, be really helpful if you could mention where these places are and also put that in your description. Half the pleasure of watching a food review channel is imagining visiting said restaurant so please, just state where they are.
I do try and add the location in the description in pretty much every place, can you not see it?
You’ll be alright gary get on the all-bran in the week 🤪
Haha. Indeed my friend!
Big fan of Philly Cheesteaks but even in Philly the perfection varies wildly. The bun must be toasted lightly and the meat drained (you'd be surprised how many don't) so bun doesn't get soggy. The one in this vid looked perfect!
It was really really good, and where is your impression of me lol 😂
@@GaryEats It is being worked on I want it to be spot on lol.
I'm American and that looks like the best Philly beef I've ever seen!
It was superb!
yikes...
I finally watched this one
Glad you had a "real" cheesesteak
It looked good
It was superb!!
I want to try a Philly cheesesteak it is on my bucket list.
It's delicious
That is a very traditional cheesteak..not over thought..you get it man. So when are you moving to philly?
It was exellent and after that not long!!
There ya go Gary. Great choice
This was really good
If you liked that, you must take the voyage to Philadelphia. A tremendous food city with so many options. Also a fantastic sports city. Catch a Phils game if you can. Cheers pal
I hope to one day Lee 👍
When will you start offering food tours through London? I'd better book a ticket in advance now, please 😊
Haha! Maybe one day 🤣
I have had Philly cheesesteak a couple of times and to me they were okay. Not a big fan of warm sandwiches other than a simple grilled cheese or maybe a BLT. This sandwich looked good though and I appreciate that the sauce is homemade.
Thank you very much for your comment. I really enjoyed this one.
In the US theyre mostly cheap beef shavings and processed cheese.
lol No
@@jamespohl-md2eq yes it is. That's the authentic version. Bougie versions are seen as inauthentic
@@mrpersianality6363 Did you hurt your back moving the goalposts?
@@jamespohl-md2eq why are you butt hurt about the truth?
@@mrpersianality6363 Why are you butt hurt someone called you out?
Ribeye ain’t a cheap cut, dope.
Charley’s, the largest Philly chain, uses CHOICE meat.
Stop digging.
A great Philly steak and cheese sandwich washed down with a nice Cola is a real treat.
👍
That’s my New Year’s Eve dinner all sorted, I’ll be off down there later today!
Let me know how it goes.
Hi Gary, my wife and I visited on Saturday, fantastic meal with great service and a nice relaxed vibe. The service was spot on, music was at a reasonable volume, TV was not blearing out, good turnover of customers, easily a 9/10 we will be returning for sure! Thanks for the review.
The Philly Cheese steak looked good, but it was missing a key ingredient, Green Peppers! I am in the US and I have never had a Philly Cheese steak without Green Peppers! It's a must in my opinion!
Next time!
My favorite is eggplant parm on Italian bread.
Sound perfect
Philly Cheesesteak is my most favourite sandwich. Second is a Ruben done right.
Both amazing Robert
Looks pretty accurate, I little fancy
Very nice.
🇺🇲🏈Authentic American restaurant, wow.. that's awesome! Can't beat the original. Did the cameramen get to nosh, too?🙏🏽🙏🏽 #pleaseFeedTheCameraman. 😅😊 Thank you both for sharing your yummy meal!🧀🥩🥖
The cameraman had something to eat at this restaurant after the review! He was very happy. I can't believe I've never had a Cheesesteak before. Have you had one?
@GaryEats Thank you for the cool reply. Never had an authentic one, but if they do a gluten free, dairy free one.. babe, I'm there!!🇺🇲🥖🥩😉 thanks again, both of you are champions of London Cuisine. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🍽
Is the whizz (hope I’ve spelt it correctly) is it just cheese sauce with onions?
I was flung to say who cares if it’s healthy. I’d give it a good go though.
Whiz sauce yes
The smile on your face is called Philadelphia Freedom.😂
Haha!
Such a delicious sandwich. Wizz/wit is the way to go imo.
Oh yes Brian.
Glad you liked it!
Loved it!
Hey Gary n camera man 👨- found you via Danny rate my takeaway, going through. I admire ya honesty, but I’m questioning myself because of the drink level 😂😂😂 did you film the intro at table AFTER you had ya food? Judging by the drink level is only why I ask 😂
I really appreciate that, thank you very much... this was the early days so we might have done lol
😂 you could have lied by saying you topped ya drink up 😂 but you didn’t, and that I admire!!! 😂 honesty is always the best policy which is why I’m watching lol 😂
not a bar for me i am a massive la rams fan go rams lol when i see the start i thought you had gone to the bronx picle i take it you meant a gherkin what is wizz sauce liked the way the bill came up on the screen thought it was going to get a big ben ten by the look on your face never had one but if the chance was to arrive i would jump at it thanks again steve
Might start supporting the Rams myself mate as you are. The wizz sauce was very nice and I can recommend it highly. Please do try one when you can mate.
@@GaryEats welcome to the ramilly lol what does the wizz sauce contain
It's a processed cheese sauce mate :)
Oh my jebus can someone please get this poster some punctuation it is so unbelievably hard to parse what this person is trying to say without using any punctuation whatsoever I mean who cares what team you like if you are in the united kingdom you don’t have much access to certain american foods so if you can get a great philly cheesesteak there who cares what jerseys are displayed and how can you be an american and not know what wiz sauce is I think most children born these days come out of the womb holding a jar of it oops I almost hit a period there by mistake my body is so trained to use punctuation but I am fighting against it mightily you should look up a pickle and a gherkin if you are going to comment on what Señor Eats is saying wtf are you eating to have never had one of these sandwiches let me guess a whole lot of kombucha am I right oops almost hit a question mark there but I am getting the hang of this now wow it is so freeing not to be beholden to these cursed marks of shackled punctuation haha no dreaded need for a period there either anyways nice video Gary
I’m a Niners fan and I’m always welcomed, even fully jersey’d up!
Leave your team “rivalry” at home, most UK NFL fans don’t care outside of watching games, and most Americans are just surprised we follow their game!
This explains 1776 better than any historical documentary I've seen :)
Thanks for watching!
Would love an explanation for this. We started the Revolutionary War because we knew that 200 or so years into the future we would create a sandwich that is tasty? 🤔 Does Yorkshire pudding explain WW2? I’m so confused…
wait before the steak sandwich came to the table you drink glass was half full. when its is on the table the drinks glass is almost full. what magic is this. hehehe but it could be you did the table talk and end at the same time.
it really just looks like a Subway, have you tried the chicken Ceasar salad one. if you have the app they offered a 12 " for £5.
As was that £16 for the cheesesteak. which is once again a lot for it.
Hahah good eye David. I haven't tried that no. Thanks for watching!
My favorite!
So tasty. Thanks for watching!
Add some lettuce, peppers and jalapenos with some chipotle sauce then you'd have a subway steak melt.
Delicious.
Best one I ever had was in joxers dailys bar culvert city LOS ANGLES, IT WAS huuuge
😄😄
My brother lives in Phoenixville and I crave cheesesteaks when im back home.also a big Eagles fan.enjoyed the review but I have to say I never seen a man more out of place! 😂 looks like Alan partridge in a KFC 😂
I’m sorry maybe a bit too young for me lol 😂
Your content is brilliant gary.I’m hooked
So very kind thank you 🙏
I've been to Philadelphia many times and I must say they make the best cheese steaks I've ever eaten. My favorite is Pat's King of Steaks even though they use a processed cheese whiz. Genos Steak which is literally across the street uses provolone cheese which personally I can't stand the smell of. Then there is Marino Bros and Tony Lukes which is famous for a roast pork sub with broccoli rabe. Everyone has a favorite and one thing is for sure; here in the states everyone agrees to disagree.
Love them.
Steak n cheese......marriage made in heaven!! Some tater tots would've finished it!!
You should go find some American soul food in the UK now
I will try and do that!
The irony of a graffiti saying "Cancer" outside a fast food restaurant!
