Philly native here, eaten many steaks but never been to Pat's or Geno's. Thx for goin to places we actually eat at.
Randy Mathews right !
Randy Mathews where's the best place for a pork sandwich?
scotland5finest i don't actually believe there's a "best" steak or pork sandwich. it depends on what neighborhood im in and what I want at the time. even though they're pretty much the same ingredients, there are differences from shop to shop. that being said, you cant go wrong w John's(in the vid) or dinics in the reading terminal.
Is Pudge’s still around?
@@neilyaremchuk6798 yup. Moved 1 shopping center over but still around.
I am a Philly citizen through and thought and I love that he is going to places that are not on the tourist path, because the most interesting steaks are all over, a different local flavor. and Dalessandro's is amazing, by far my favorite place to get a steak!
Philly boys over here, what's up!
Love your videos brah
What's your go-to cheese steak joint? I've heard I should skip Pats and Geno's and go straight for Tony Lukes.
where are the Philly milfs , who cares about boys?!
millfs not boys omg!!cougars!!!!
youre raceist now wtf i only asked for milfs and a raceist guy is replaying...
North philly boy who grew up on poppy store cheesesteaks but when i moved into henry on the park del’s & chubbys both stole my heart...
Nick seems to get a lot of hate, but this show and Dining on a Dime are my favorite videos you guys make! Keep up the good work
I miss Lucas :(
This guy totally gets it. I lived in Philly for about a year and tried probably 20 different cheesesteaks, all good, all different.
Thanks for the video. I'm from Philly and I'm so tired of people saying pats and genos was the best here and they're not even close. those are tourist spots
You and Lucas are nailing it! Keep it up lad
2:39 I remember pouring my first beer
Next time I want 3 inches of head I'll give this guy a call!
That's what she said.
ahahah playboy loves the good ol head
I cracked up when the camera went back to the beer after him pouring it 😂😂
Your supposed to have head on a beer pour. It releases flavor and gas so that you don't get bloated. And It's a bottle so it's not like you're losing anything.
Philly girl here!! Thank you SO much for bringing attention to the non tourist spots!! Dalessandro's in Manayunk is AMAZING!!
My buddy travels for business and is a cheesesteak fan. When I found myself in Philly I called him and he pointed me to Dalessandros. It was amazing and the staff...well I wanted to hire all of them for my business. Hats off to them for a great meal and great people.
I'm so surprised that you didn't mention my all time favorite, JIM"s Steak at 4th & South, in Center city. I'm a native & as far as I'm concerned there is no better...
Ray Winward jims is good, but I'm more mad he didn't mention steves
it's so primal, it's so elemental!
Good interview of each place and the description of how it tastes. TRUE jernalsim!
This guy reminds me of Bob Odenkirk's character in Run Ronny Run so much. I love the subtle look on the guys face at 2:40.
Dalessandro's Steaks in best!
Jordan G I love it there but I gotta go with probably steves
Agree!
Cobalt Cigarettes that must be the best smelling plane ever! Lol
I need to get my head to Philly!
after filming this video, this man will never shit again.
Steve's Prince of Steaks is my favorite in Philly. Donkey's across the bridge in Camden is the best.
xOogieBoogie3x donkeys. Omg!!!! Yes.
This and the beef dip are my two favourite sandwiches.
The quality of the roll is just about as important as the steak itself.
I'm from Philly, these are the good places
I feel like Nick is the type of guy to not just take a bite of each but actually eat like 5 cheese steaks in 1 day.
I dig this video! Time to go back to Philly!
Drinking Yards Philadelphia Pale Ale, pretty good beer. The brewery is right next to the Penn's Landing Festival Pier if any of your are from the Philly area
These places are each excellent. But I would add that Pat's is actually worth a try if only for the historical aspect, even if it is a tourist trap these days. You can't get more authentic than the original, differences in quality aside.
On my to do list!!
I think this is a fairly well-composed video about the "mythical" cheesesteak. When you grow up in Philadelphia, you are somewhat surprised that everyone outside has awe and reverence for a sandwich you just take for granted. We got poor-quality cheesesteaks served to us in the school cafeteria that are better than what Subway makes.
The central thesis of this video is 100% correct. Just go to any pizzeria or hoagie shop in the Delaware Valley and order a cheesesteak with American and fried onion. Most of the time the line cook will make it on a flat top with salt, pepper, and a dash of granulated garlic. The rolls are most often baked nearby. The steak and cheese are usually provided by Sysco, so don't think there's any "terroir" or something that makes them special. It's really just the knowledge passes from cook to cook about doing it right.
Loved the "it's always sunny" reference.
D'Allesandro's on Henry Ave. The best of the best. It doesn't get better. I am Philly born and raised.
I love D'Allesandro's, but personally being born and raised in Northeast Philly, my all-time favorite is still Steve's at Comly and the Blvd. The way they pour melted American cheese over top your cheesesteak is just amazing - I'd eat it everyday if it didn't take 20 years off my lifespan.
D"allesandros is so dry. Most steaks in Philly are dry. You gotta hit the burbs for a a truly great one
The best place to get a cheesesteak is from Maxx's at Broad and Erie second is Joe's also you can never go wrong with a Papi store so underrated and the best bang for the buck...the best roast pork DiNick's in Reeding Terminal hands down...I'm a philly native born and raised
BrianTheGreat DiNic's uses broccoli rabe, John's uses the less bitter and juicier spinach. I like DiNic's, but John's is just the best.
riffers I went to DiNic’s to give it a second shot after I wasn’t really impressed with the broccoli rabe in my roast pork sandwich, I must have been really sick the first time I ate there, or maybe it was the fact that they had spinach as their greens for the day, but man oh man did I love it the second time. John’s was definitely my favorite sandwich ever though.
I don’t care for max’s have to try joes
I never tried Maxx's, but I heard about it. I'll try it over the weekend. Thanks!
I like to go to Joe's.
They even have cheesesteak vendors on the street in Philly. Had one years ago and it's still the best cheesesteak I've ever had.
im from philly. great video.
I know it ain't for everyone, but the Whiz is just... all that the core of the cheese steak is for me
staticsight amen!!🙌
HOLY MUSIC VOLUME MAN at the start, trying to make us jump out of our seat? :) Great episode over all, other than blasting our ears at the start.
philly native here - aye, you can never go wrong with a cheesesteak from a papi store. not just a corner store, but the papi store
What's a Papi store? And how's it different to a cornerstore?
pats and genos are all hype , tony lukes has always been my favorite spot
I've had amazing cheesesteaks at Geno's but they weren't consistent. The last few times they were getting worse. They're certainly not what most of us usually ate though, as we tend to get them from local pizza shops or lesser known steak shops.
Just got back and had Sonny's and it was great
Max’s in North philly is the real hidden gem !!!
'The difference is that he didn't have a cheesesteak but I do' Lmfao 😂😂
Pagano's in West Oak Lane is the best cheesesteak in Philly in my opinion. If I can't make it up that way, I hit the West Philly Jim's. The cheesesteak at John's Roast is pretty good too, but it comes "as is" and you can't choose your own condiments to add.
Chicagoan here who loves Philly cheese steaks. It’s something no one outside of Philly has replicated well. It’s too bad I don’t frequent Philadelphia often.
2:39 Great beer pouring skills
My favorite place growing up was DJ Deli in Trooper, PA. Tried Genos and Pats once. Hated it.
Last one I had was Johns. Fantastic. I must say though I did enjoy Pat's but had nicer greetings and service from Geno's across the street. I too prefer the American cheese over Wiz
Best cheesesteak is at Max's.. Only reason people don't go is because of the neighborhood. But hell, I'm from Hunting Park so I already know lol..
It is one of the best in town but it depends on who makes it. We had one night and it was great. A coworker who never had it saw it and went the next day and it was slop.
Broad and Erie shouldn't be that bad. I doubt people are shooting eachother right on the strip.
I heard dalessandro's was the real place to go in philly
moritsuna top 5 easyyyyyy
That's definitely on of the best
I don’t care for them 🤷🏾♀️
Looooove Daleassndros!!
Absolutely!
If I ever go to Philly, I'm going to try a roast pork sub with cheese wiz. I bet it's good.
John's Roast Pork for cheese steaks and roast pork sandwiches is a must.
amazing so hungry now
i sooo want one
"This steak was made for ME." Cuts to shot of 20lb of steak in a warming pile on the grill. McDonalds is made for you in the same way, the burgers sit in a warming tray and are assembled when you order them.
I found that pretty funny haha
Generally, I'd agree.. but I've been to dalesandro's quite a few times. It's really good.
I literally paused the video when I saw that to see if anyone shared the same opinion. All that meat is cooked. How long until they sell it? Are they that busy? Disgusting
Mcdonalds beef and ingredients are frozen and trucked halfway around the country before its fried up and served to you by people who don't give shit about what they serve. Its in no way the same kind of thing to eating at one of these local joints.
Bidet Nothing like McDonalds. They only throw on what is ordered at the register, maybe for a lunch rush some places pile up the steak meat, but it's all off the grill in 10 -15 min.
so happy you tried a neighborhood place for a cheesesteak. next time you come here hit me up and you can try my favorite one :)
Your so right, when people first come to Philly they go straight for the tourist places. They make good steaks, but they are far from the best in Philly.
This guy knows what he's doing, Joe's is definitely one of my many favorite spots here in Philly. lol. There are so many good places to get a cheese steak in Philly, it's hard to choose sometimes.
Genos and Patts are good, but you will wait in line for about an hour. Why do that, when you can get something a lot better, cheaper, and faster, if you go to some of these places in this video.
First time watching this host, after seeing his cameo on cheap eats. He seemed a fan of his own voice on Lucas' show and yep, here too. Hopefully his grating delivery will actually deter people from the mindless consumption of factory farmed meat he seems so keen to mythologise.
Lol
+Joe Love Shut up, hipster.
This guys good at what he does!
lol !!
God bless America and its food!
Do a East coast chowder review. Boston vs Manhattan vs et al
Ishkabibbles is my go-to
Nice job pushing past Pat's and Gens's The local places are where it's at and you did hit some of the good ones.
John's Roast Pork is the best... traditional steak. I had a smoked cheesesteak at Seymour's BBQ in Laurel Springs, NJ. Oh dear me was it amazing.
Anyone else ever been to the Grille at Great Bridge, it's in Virginia, but it's really freaking good
The next time you come by philly I want a YDL set, thx.
Jim’s or Tony Luke. Reading Terminal Market is where you wanna go for a class sandwich other than cheesesteaks. Surprised this guy didn’t ask if the Ribeye was dry aged.
"This is as delicious as it is...inelegant to eat."
Beauuuutiful statement.
Almost like, "If it doesn't get all over the place...it doesn't belong in your face."
lol
You have to try Jims!
Next time of your in Philly try Stelios place right next to where they film the original Rocky movies
This guy has a great job.
Good stuff! BUT, you have to try the Chicago's Italian Beef! ;-)
+T. Wolfe Different tastes, still GREAT. I've been to Chicago, I love the Italian beef. I'm so thankful just to be near a Portillo's here in the West Coast. Always asking for a Big Beef double dipped with hot peppers and sweet peppers x2 with cheese fries and an extra cheese cup for the sandwich. Not traditional, but shit it's all gravity to me.
Both sandwiches are great!!
Love a good cheesesteak at Philly and a good Italian beef in windy...Als Pops...all good with hot and sweet peppers dipped...yuuuuummmm
Never been to Philly, but I have heard the Steve's is where its at.
Chuckwagon524 trust me, it is!
Chuckwagon524 steves slices their steak. They don't chop it so it's actually like nice pieces of thin steak. Also I like Steve's cheese distribution
I'm Australian and just heard $1.50 bottles of beer at 2:34? WHAT THE FUCK!!!!
Dining on a dime is my favourite, but damn, this show is underrated.
1980's Sydney cheese stake sandwich is unforgettable
yards pale ale is so good 3:11
Only thing that could have made that video perfect was an it's always sunny reference and he delivered. Noice
been to all those place as a Philly kid, I would say John's is the best out all of it
Tony Lukes all day, bruh. Forget a steak n cheese go in for the roast pork sanwich. amazing.
Barbara Schecter Tony Lukes have really good chicken parm sandwiches. But the one in south Philly, I went to the one in the north east, and it wasn't that good.
That it's always sunny reference lmao
I'm from Toronto I haven't had many legit philly cheesesteaks.. but I know good food.
I went to Philly about 6 months ago and I went to Gino's I wasn't impressed at all, to be honest the people working there didn't seem happy or looked like they enjoyed there jobs either. I was surprised because it was supposed to be the main spot. Next time I will do a bit more research when I go to Philly
Daniel Bielby go to Jim's steaks on 4th street.
Yeah, Genos and Pats are tourist traps. lol. There are so many great cheesesteak places in Philly.
You gotta visit Chicago and grab your self an Italian beef sandwich!
Johns Roast Pork is #1 hands down for cheesesteaks
Tommy Di Nics rst pork is best in Reading Terminal
No Johns is so much juicier and the bread is better too.
Damn right
Jordan G Tommy Di Nics!!!! The best
Nope Johns.
Yo, you got it. You can hit just about any place in the Philly area, that makes sandwiches, and get a great steak sandwich...
I really like those pickled peppers they have....
i got to johns roast pork they got the best ones
1:41 “the steak I’m about to eat was made for me”. There’s like 50lbs of meat already cooked on the grill.........
thank you for also seeing this
Best we have out here is Taste of Philly in Denver.
So which was best?
Farm anyone give me a quick review of geatanos? Heard those are good too... going to dunce down there soon from ny and looking for a good CHEESESTEAK spot. Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated.
Are we gonna ignore those two cuties in the beginning??
"Untouched by modern hipstery trends"
Ladies and gentlemen, Nick Solares. The same man who says a $120 cheese steak is worth it.
bet its a good cheese steak
At $120 it better come with a side and a bottle of 2008 Opus One.
A vulgar display of ferocity , pure savagery , ethereal video
Are they cheaper than in down town?
I had one at Carmen's and thought it was great. But then that might be considered too touristy..
The best Philly cheesesteaks are at Donkey’s in Camden NJ
Love u nick
You didn't have a cheesesteak at John's Roast Pork? They have the best cheesesteak in town!
John's Roast Pork -- best steak, pork, and roast beef sandwiches in S. Philly
Haven’t tried pats or Genos but the one that looks like roast beef i wouldn’t even try!
how much do these sandwiches normally cost?
