It's official: Trump prefers Geno's over Pat's

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump chose Geno's over Pat's during a visit Thursday afternoon to South Philadelphia.

In videos posted on Instagram, Trump could be seen at the order window of Geno's with son Eric and campaign manager Kellyanne Conway in the background.

A reporter asks if he is getting a cheesesteak.

"I am," Trump says in one of the videos posted by Danielle Olivieri, whose family owns Pat's.

The reporter then asks if Trump will answer some questions.

"I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll give you a piece," Trump replies.

"Who wants one?" Trump asks the crowd.

In another video, Trump touches Olivieri's outstretched hand. She wrote on the post: "Hand shake for a vote. That's my hand. Told him shake my hand for my Florida vote."

In a third video, Conway can be heard telling Trump to get some Tastykakes.

Philadelphia Police Officer Mike Duffy also posted photos on Twitter of Trump at Geno's.

Sopan Deb, a campaign correspondent with CBS News, tweeted that Trump was asked about birtherism at Geno's and responded.

Geno's sparked controversy a decade ago when owner Joey Vento, who died in 2011, put up a sign insisting that customers order in English.
