Going to Philadelphia in a few weeks. Probably going to eat at both places, but which do you like most?

I always assume these places are going to be like the soup nazi.

If you fuck up the ordering process you are getting "no cheeseteak for you!!!"

haha, i've never had an authentic cheesesteak from Philly, but i watched a show on the travel channel about Pats and Genos a few weeks ago. The steaks from the show all appeared to be drowned in cheese, are they a little more reserved than that?

if you go "wid" sure

but some only like provolone, and in that case, expect 3 slices under the meat

The correct answer is Jim's Steaks.

Don't fall into the Pat's/Geno's trap.

pilgrim, you recommend anything else that's a must do or must see up there?


we're going to see all the historical spots as one of the guys going is a huge history buff. But other than that we're pretty much wide open.

They are literally right across the street from each other. Pat's is the oldest. Pat's chops up their meat while Geno's does not. For some reason the locals up here in Philly really like theirs with cheez-whiz, while I prefer provolone. Wit or wit-out refers to if you want onions or not. This reminds me that I should venture down 9th street sometime in the future to get a cheesesteak from there. It's just so cold up here, and that's a pretty long trek for me. Plus there's a really good cheesesteak place called Carmen's in Reading Terminal that is much closer to me.

you can pretty much go to any place in south Philly that serves pizza and get a good cheese steak.

give us your exact dates, and maybe we can find some cool shows for you

Philly is loaded to the gills with awesome small places to see live music

Neither. They are both tourist traps. If you have any sense of adventure just walk around and find a random pizza place. Chances are you will get a good cheesesteak. Better yet, pick out a local and ask - if they say "wooder" instead of water - you've found a local. Forget the Cheez Wiz too. I don't know what people are thinking there. Provolone all the way.

shit idk

about all i do is going out in old city or manayunk, or kick around to see shows and shit

there's some sweet venues

when parents or family comes up they want to do the whole "lets go see all the museums and shit" thing that just doesn't interest me, so i often just have them go during the day while im at work.

mutter museum is weird though.

I live down the street from Pilgrimshoes.



If you must go to either Pats or Genos, go to Pat's.

But the best steaks are at Jim's on south street.
