    In this video I drive down to Pennsylvania, USA to eat at 3 different Cheesesteak Restaurants that were chosen by you from my community tab. The 3 restaurants that you chose were, Dalessandro's Steaks, Tony Luke's Steaks and Jim's Steaks. While in Philadelphia I also visit the Rocky Steps, the steps made famous from the Rocky movies and then I visit the Liberty Bell for a little American education.

    I’ve been making cheesesteak concoctions at home for years and after sampling all types of different toppings, I firmly stand by shaved ribeye, topped with only grilled onions and SMOKED provolone cheese. It seems like using the cheese whiz sauce or adding mushrooms or peppers, takes away from the flavor of high quality meat and cheese. Keep it simple and it always tastes better 👍

      you know your shit. I'm the resident cheesesteak guy in my house and for me it's similar except I use onions and bell peppers, sharp provolone, thin-sliced prime ribeye, and mayo on semolina bread. Simplicity is for sure the key. Gotta be able to enjoy the meat, cheese, and bread combo. Nothing to overpower the cheesesteak essence!

    • @MSH786

    Provolone was the original type of cheese that was used when cocky Joe Lorenzo, an employee of Pat's Steaks (the founder of the cheesesteak in 1930) one night was drunk and decided to put provalone cheese on his steak sammich, and the cheesesteak was born. Cheese Wiz wasn't invented until 1957, and Pat Olivieri decided to use cheese whiz because it was cheap and tasty.

    As a lifelong Philly resident I’ve had food from all of those places and they’re all for tourists and overpriced. They’re good and I’ve never had a bad experience with any of them but I’ve also had great cheesesteaks from corner Papi stores that were half the price. You can get a good cheesesteak almost anywhere in the city.

      Finally someone besides myself who knows this! Every youtube video about cheese steaks always sends people to these same old joints. Now I know it's "safer"to go to these places for the most part because they are "touristy" and you don't want to get lost in the city if you're really not familiar, but like Willie said, you can grab a great sandwich just about everywhere in the city (especially in the neighborhoods because many will make to order - and not just meat, cheese, onions and a roll - you can put almost anything on a cheese steak - and these video people really miss out on how awesome and creatively good cheese steaks can be by just getting the usual). Also, the prices differ according to neighborhood (some charge higher because the building's rent or lease is higher - don't let anyone tell you that their prices are higher due to the main ingredients...and if that's true then tell them to PROVE IT TO YOU...otherwise you're just paying for the "rent"). In the end, no one who lives in the city (particularly those born & raised) or really knows anything about anything, is getting dressed to drive to any of those places to stand in line & pay $10 -$12 for a sandwich with limited choices!If it's near you that's one thing, but MOST people will just as soon walk to the nearest corner store, deli or whatever and get a sandwich (and they're just as good if not better).

    Also great cheesesteaks are from Mommas, Gooey Louis, Max’s, Explorers Den, Reading Terminal, Paganos, Fat Larry’s, and other local neighborhood places.
    Mommas is by far my personal favorite, Gooey’s is great.
    It all depends on what mood you are in and where you are in the city, and what time of day.
    Delosandros also is great.
    Since I grew up in on Philly, I literally have eaten 1,000’s of cheesesteaks over the years and I’m fortunate to be alive from all of the saturated fat.
    Growing up in Philly, me and my boys always used American cheese or American/cheese wiz depending on where you were. Mayonnaise was a must, as well as fried onions, and ketchup. Our crew never as kids put hot peppers on our steaks, never, yuk!
    That is maybe a culture and age thing regarding hot peppers, yuk!
    Philly cheesesteaks are by far my absolute favorite food in the world, and the Explorers Den, where Lasalle people know about in the 70’s was the bomb.
    On weekends, especially Saturday nights, you would literally be waiting outside at night in a long, long line down the street. I would either buy two, or get a double meat, cheesesteak, as they were my absolute favorite growing up.
    Yes dear readers, enjoy your cheesesteaks now, but eventually, please leave them alone because they will lead to an early death, especially the way I loved them, they gave way too much saturated fat. It’s not worth the price you pay health wise that is, but because I regularly loved eating them, and I truly absolutely love them.
    But reality sets in as we age and mature, in that we cannot afford to eat like that unless it’s an occasional treat…
    So enjoy your visit to Philly, and get a steak and one to go, but watch your back, the big cities now a days are very very dangerous.
    Much love to my hometown of Germantown in Philly in my hometown city of Philadelphia, I so miss Philly as I now live in Florida. In the 70’s-80’s Philly was a great place to grow up in, the music, the food, the fun, the good parts were great, but the bad parts are a heart break, a real nightmare, but it’s my home and I love and miss Philly, but I’m safer in Florida at this point.
    But I love cheesesteaks❤️❤️❤️!!!
    Please send me one, anyone.
    Mike, the cheesesteak lover out.

    I am a Philly Cheese Steak NUT! I used to go around looking for the best one, especially when I was living in Charleston, WV. I went to this pizza place where they had a neon sign in the window that said "Philly Cheese Steak". So I went in and told them I was looking for the best PCS in Charleston. To my surprise the girl behind the counter said, "You won't find it here." I was stunned but ordered it anyway and she was right. The cook came out when he learned of my objective and told me that the best PCS in Charleston was at the Women's and Children's Hospital. SO, I went over there one day and they had a decent PCS sandwich. Over the years I decided to try and make one myself and after trial and error I finally produced a PCS sandwich that 'took me to Philly'. I will continue to seek out the best anytime I travel and PCS sammies are on the menu, but I am so happy I know I can produce one that fits the bill.

  • @christinamackinnon
    @christinamackinnon 3 роки тому +3

    Nice little video! Ok, you asked, so, here you go. First of all, it is a cheesesteak - period. Do they call french fries, french fries in France - NO (they call them frites - not french frites)! Second of all, it is chopped rib eye - period. Thirdly, the cheese is provolone, but you should always get “extra” provolone. When made properly, the meat is cooked on the grill with the provolone, so it all melts together. Fourth is the bread - Amoroso’s rolls - period. Fifth is the toppings - always get the peppers and onions on the side. Most places do not spread them out properly, so you get a bite with too much, then a bite with none. My favorite cheesesteak is across the river in Maple Shade, NJ - Yellow Submarine - which was featured in “The Best Thing I Ever Ate” HGTV episode, and was presented by Aaron McCargo (the fourth season winner of “The Next Food Network Star”), a native South Jerseyan, and professional Chef, who has spent a great deal of time in Philadelphia - I think he knows what he is talkin’ about. Next time you come to Philly, bring along a local with you to explain a few things. For instance, a lot of people like to use ketchup on their cheesesteaks, and others think it is sacrilege. You should have tried a single bite of each with a little ketchup to decide for yourself. Thanks for not doing the Pat’s/Geno thing - as so many have said - tourist traps - but also, the employees there seem to go out of their way to be rude, which does not enhance the image of our beloved city (Geno’s actually put up a sign about 15 years ago that stated that customers had to order in English - THIS, in a neighborhood built by immigrants (nerve, gall, Chutzpah, audacity). Oh, yea - you asked about what to drink with a Cheesesteak - beer. For a true experience, drink beer, and I say this because everyone I know drinks beer with their cheesesteak. I don’t like beer, so I don’t - but EVERYONE else does. I hope you enjoyed your time in this AWESOME city, and that you will return to see some more of it (BTW, I really liked your detour to Independence Hall and The Liberty Bell). Keep wandering.......

    I always get fried onions....along woth mayo black pepper and ketchup...sometimes sauteed mushrooms, but as I read another comment...you cant go wrong with toppings...as long as youve got your favorite cheese. I would indeed drink a pepsi ONLY with my cheesesteak lol or water.
    So your question about why was Jim's ground up and Tony's sliced. Many places do their steaks steaks differently. Some places will take the slices of steak and chop them up SUPER fine...but yet still chunky, and others will keep the sliced.
    (You can also order chicken cheesesteaks which are just as good)

    The places that you went to are okay but there are literally hundreds of neighborhood hoagie shops and pizzerias in Philly and surrounding counties that make cheesesteaks just as good if not much better than those three you went to. I'm just glad you didn't go to Pat's or Geno's as that would have made every Philadelphian roll their eyes. They may be the two most famous but that sentence ends there. However, there are some amazing cheesesteaks made by shops that are only known to people within a four-block radius of them.
