Just catching up on this thread.
For the record, in my personal experience no Philly local would ever recommend Gino's or Pat's for a cheesesteak. They are photo opps for the tourists - the locals are not big fans (being polite).
I have spent too much time there with local co-workers who have taken me to their favorite spots, and it is really no contest.
What's funny for me is, including Pat's, Gino's, Jim's, Sonny's, Max's, and the others..........
The best I have EVER had was at the Wachovia Center food stand at a Philly hockey game. Hands down.
Flyers suck (as well as most people that live in Philly), did you get a good dessert coffee? There's a reason there is a jail in their football stadium lol.
