When I wrote my first article about cheesesteaks in Philadelphia, I received several recommendations about other places to visit. Last year, I attempted to go to all of them. I came close, but Jim's Steaks on South Street was closed due to a fire. Jim's has now reopened and I am happy to report that they have some of the best cheesesteaks in Philly.
My last article on Philly Cheesesteaks was rightly criticized for mostly covering "tourist" cheesesteak restaurants. However, I received several recommendations in the comments. I went to each one.
I was recently in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. There was was a public market a short walk from my hotel. I have been to public markets before, but nothing like this. Huge, historic, and filled with a plethora of grocers and eateries, Reading Terminal Market is the place to shop and dine in Philadelphia.
In Philadelphia, the rivalry between Pat's King of Steaks and Geno's Steaks, located right across the street from each other, is famous. But whose cheeesteak is the best? Pat's? Geno's? Or someplace else?
