Pat's Steaks gets a nod from Playboy
Michael Klein, Philly.com
Playboy.com, assessing the best sandwiches in America, gives props to Pat's, the South Philly originator of the cheesesteak.
"Aside from the ubiquitous Buffalo Wing, nowhere in the country is a single food item so synonymous with a city than the Philly Cheesesteak," the mag extols.
"This perfectly made, greasy masterpiece has won fans throughout every bar-n-grille in America, but only one place has the balls to name itself the “King of Steaks”— and rightfully so."
Playboy explains the meaning of "Whiz wit'" and loves the "ball-busting counterworkers straight out of central casting for a Rocky sequel." (Why do out-of-towners always invoke Rocky?)
One quibble: The piece misspelled "Passyunk" and Frank Olivieri's last name throughout.

Don Giovanni's at Castor and Princeton. And yea, MAMA'S on Belmont Av in Bala. Bring the lipitor.- I wish they'd a Pat's up here. No good steaks, hoagies or cheesesteaks. Yesterday I saw Tony Lukes in the Shoprite. Pork & Beef sandwich 2 in a box for $10.00. But I don't want a steak from the freezer section. Should be handmade.— MsLou
- Seems like a lot of people like Steve's. I never heard of them, but I will have to check it out. The local folks usually know better than these national mags, tourists, etc.— scars73
