Philly look like a half way decent place to be. Great photo as were all the others. Hope you grabbed a cheese steak done right.

2. Thanks CC! I always enjoy Philly (except when the heat/humidity becomes unbearable) |
|
I edited to add Pat's, the local rival.
And I ordered "one extra Whiz, wit"...and I LOVED it!

7. Thanks, hippywife. I "forced" myself to try cheese steaks from both joints |
|
eating two Philly cheese steaks in a row is not recommended...delicious though they may be...

11. I couldn't make a fair comparison, because each sandwich had different cheese |

I ordered American Cheese on Pat's, and warm, melted Cheeze Whiz on Geno's; onions on both. Both were excellent. :D
Between the two, I preferred the Cheeze Whiz, and it was larger. :9

4. OH that's fabulous. The first one especially. |
|
I've heard of this rivalry, and this area looks like a perfect candidate for a shop that is called: "Best Steaks on the Block".

8. They were deadly delicious, Mira. However... |
|
next time I won't eat one from each at the same sitting. ;)

5. These are both really good, especially the second, to my eye. |
|
It's interesting that Philly looks to be as cluttered with wires as Toronto.
Were you tempted to order in Spanish at Geno's?:+
And now, of course, I'm dying for some cheese fries...

6. Philly is absolutely cluttered with wires; it made getting "wireless" shots impossible, at times |
|

And no, no temptation to that at Geno's...I have no death-wish involving getting pounded to a pulp and dumped in one of the sketchier Philly neighborhoods at midnight. ;)
And now I have a hankering for an "extra Whiz, wit..." :D

12. BOTH of those joints had a very, uh...xenophobic?...atmosphere |
|
at Pat's you had to give your order in specific terms, with a proper Philly pronunciation, or they sent you to the back of the line til you got it right.
At Geno's they had a sign posted: "If you can read this, thank a teacher; if you can read it in English, thank a Marine!"
I really wanted to snap a picture of it, but didn't...interesting vibe. :D

13. Love both the shots....... |
|
.........especially that twilight feel of Pat's.
BTW, these places looked really familiar to me, despite having never been there. I think I remember Anthony Bourdain taping his No Reservations food show on the Travel Channel at Geno's once.
Bottom line........good pics, good food.........good going.

14. Thanks! Bourdain might have taped there; both places are actually well known in the foodie world |
|
that's what they tell me, anyway.
