I think you gotta go get the two classics (Pat and Geno's) right next to each other and the true OG. If people are convinced there are better ones, then I guess go see it, but I don't know if that really matters. Texadelphia is better than either Pat or Geno's IMHO and I'm still glad I went and had the original.

---

I'm assuming this is a joke? Otherwise what a very bizarre post

---

It's not. Both Pat's and Geno's are mediocre at best and live off undeserved hype.

You can get a better tasting cheesesteak in Paige or Bastrop Tx.

---

Ha I definitely wasn't saying that those are the best cheesesteaks. I was saying that nothing at Texadelphia is remotely in the ballpark.

If it has queso or bbq sauce or something like that... it can certainly be a tasty sandwich but that doesnt make it a cheesesteak.

---

I've had all 3. Texadelphia is better that the other two (not by a lot, but Pat's and Geno's set a pretty low bar). Mainly because their mustard blend is pretty dang good.

That mustard blend is the bees kness

From what I understand it's 2 parts mustard, 2 parts mayo, 1 part teriyaki. Pretty simple.

BUMP

I'm going to Philly in the middle of November, any other food recommendations, not cheesesteaks? If that's possible

If you like pub grub, the New Deck Tavern in University City is pretty good. Or was 15ish years ago.

Amada. It's been a while, but it was excellent.

Reading Terminal Market

- Dinic's Italian Pulled Pork with broccoli rabe and provolone
- Hershels deli is probably the best jewish deli in town- pastrami is amazing
- Beiler's Donuts is the quintessential Amish bakery


If you can get some pizza from Angelo's, DO IT. Their cheesesteak is also arguably the current best in town if you're really down for doing any cheesesteaks. But their pizza is the tits too

We went to Philly and had a cheesesteak. Overall, it was a very disappointing meal. We had two. Why are these "popular?" They were bland and not an enjoyable eating experience, especially for a whole city to be known for these. I asked some locals what makes a good cheesesteak: bread and Whiz.

Thank God we live in TX where BBQ and tex-mex are king!

We ate some good Italian food, which was reasonably priced compared to Austin.

I sound like a grumpy old man, but I was not impressed with the cheesesteaks. But we did see the Liberty Bell

Tried Dinic's pork/broccoili two years ago and hated it, my wife hated it even more. She gave me grief for getting advice off TexAgs.
