β€œI went to Philadelphia in the middle of February on a whim, and of course, of course I had to sample the famous Philly Cheesesteaks for myself. So with a motley crew of 3 of my awesome friends who had never met each other, we set off on our cheesesteak adventure. Four cheesesteaks in one day. First up, Tony Luke’s. This place was in South Philly, where people apparently park their cars in the median of busy streets like it’s completely normal. So of course we did that too for the full experience. Stops two and three, the famous Pat’s & Geno’s across the street from each other. Remember, it was winter. Outdoors it felt like a refrigerator with an industrial fan running. It did not make for a great dining experience. But on the plus side, there were absolutely no lines.”

β€œOur first stop in Old City was Sonny’s Famous Steaks for lunch. The line was out the door, but it moves semi-fast. Chad and I each got a cheesesteak, one with provolone and one with cheese whiz. We both preferred the cheese whiz over the provolone. It added more flavor and moisture to the sandwich.”
