Pat’s or Geno’s

Whenever we are in the East Coast, we try to go to Philadelphia to visit U Penn where James went to school and to have the real Philly cheese steak! So since we were in Pennsylvania already, on the way back, we passed by Philly!!

 

University of Pennsylvania high rises, where James used to dorm

We used to go to Billybob’s but it closed down already 🙁  It was the BEST Philly Cheesesteak for us! We liked Billybob’s because they put the mushrooms, onions and melt the cheese while the steak is being cooked. They also heat the bread in the griller.   No one else does it like that.  I probably ate there only 3 times during the times I visited

 So this trip, we decided to go to Pat and Geno’s.  James told be that there is a rivalry between the two as to who has the best cheesesteak.  We wanted to try for ourself and find out which is really better – Pat’s or Geno’s? 🙂  We got one cheesesteak with exactly the same specs.  We thought that both were just the same except for the way the beef is served- Pat’s has it sliced thinly and shred into pieces

while Geno’s served their’s in beef slices that were flat.

Right across the street is Geno’s

 We therefore conclude that:

**Billybob’s is still the BEST cheesesteak EVER!

**You don’t really need to go to Philly to have good cheesesteaks, besides it was summer and it was so hot, we had to eat outdoors! It was not comfortable at all!

Just go to Rockwell Power Plant mall and go to Elbert’s Cheesesteaks
