Penn alum/actress Elizabeth Banks wrote a short post today on her blog about "The War on Cheesesteaks." While the title is misleading -- Banks isn't heading off some Christmas-level assault -- she does give some love to the Pat's and Geno's, as if they need more. Smart lady that she is, Banks refrains from picking her favorite, although she did post the above photo from Pat's.
At the end of her post, she asks: "Any Philly readers out there - who’s winning the war? Let’s hear it, and let me know what other local spots are places we should all be at now."
Go tell her where it's at, Philly. But, remember folks, keep it civil.
Banks can currently be seen in the thriller "Man on a Ledge."
Steve's Prince of Steaks— Dr. Kenneth Noisewater- On any given day, Pat's may best Geno's or vice-versa, depending on the hour of the day, the cook on duty, and the turnover rate. I think it has a lot to do with how used the oil for the fries is, how clean the griddle for the steaks is, and how much stuff the cook puts on the roll. But let's be serious, folks. John's roast pork is better than either and Tony Luke's steaks are better than all three, their pork is almost as good as John's, and their fries are much, much better. Besides, at the sports bar you can sit down, get a beer, and watch TV. Go, Tony!— bbk713
- Pat's and Geno's are both awful tourist traps. Jim's on South is usually good. Tony Luke's Roast Pork w/ sharp provolone beats any cheesesteak except, possibly, Frank's Pizza in Quakertown - consistently the best cheese steak I've ever eaten.— veritas1325
- I grew up near Quakertown...Frank's Pizza, you say? I've never heard of it, but after reading this I definitely have to check it out. I think Pat's and Geno's are also tourist traps (although better than most cheesesteaks you'll find in other states), and tend to love Jim's and Tony Luke's as well, so you must have good taste! — Enginerd
- Geez, that looks good!! The rolls make the sandwich.— dogman5
- THANK YOU, DOCTOR. Steve's is certainly the King. The rest are low-grade dog food.— enabler1
- Agree - Steve's is the best.— flyigglesfly
- Jims on south is good for your dope too.— jerseyshorelocal1
- Cheese Wizz on a steak is obscene.— clobal
- Tony Lukes hands down. Ms. Banks is smokin hot.— MilesLong1
- Delassandro's— iggles_rock
Don Giovanni's on Castor, just below Cottman. Also, in class all by itself, Mama's on Belmont Ave in Bala CynWyd. If you are on heart meds, be afraid, be very afraid, get them while you are young and can misspend your youth.- Any place Elizabeth wants to join me for a cheesesteak will be fine.— richojr
