I didn’t see the entire video or read all the comments but did anyone mention Leo’s in Delaware Co.? I just had a cheesesteak this past weekend and it was delicious as usual. The hoagies are awesome too
How u do 19 cheese steaks in not visit maxes 😂😂😂
you are pig.
Managed 30 secs and moved on… presenters accent is brutal 🤦
Where’s the follow up video?
Born and raised in Philly. It’s John’s roast pork for me hands down. Did you try the roast pork with broccoli rab and sharp provolone. Best sandwich in the USA.
Oh Cheese Wiz only go on fries . 😅
I want your job! Carmela's cooks cheese steaks the way it should be done. Liked your picks. While I have not lived in Philly in 30 years. I grew up there and ate at a ton of places. Was glad to see you had the pepto with you. Eating that much meat in one day will do you in.
Great Video!! They have 5 cheese cheesesteak also which you can all on one STEAK😂😂
Yous are missing out on stolis steaks
19 in a day?
no chubby’s
Great reviews. If u wanna level up, get cooper sharp cheese.
What about Tony Luke's?
John’s most generous with the meats. When hungry go John’s.
Hey your forgetting about WAWA
Philip's steaks off Passyunk Ave is far better than all of these.

"Whiz or American cheese" Dropped; it's provolone!!! Who started this sham recipe?!
I got some more places that you need to try…..
You missed one….. i told the people at my job, and they are going CRAZY…… i like it better than any place in philly……. No Bull!
Check out that Gooey Looey’s cheesesteak. The meat is shredded to a powder. That is wrong on so many levels. It pretty much disqualifies it as a “Philly” cheesesteak. It also disguises low quality meat and it makes me incredibly thirsty. Meat should be sliced and lightly chopped. Also, long hots should be available.
this is not dealaney…. this some zesty guy
GAZZOS
I'd like to see somebody do a pretzel 🥨🥨🥨 best of. You'd swear cheese steaks are the only thing made in Philly. Or how about wooder ice.
Cooper sharp only✅
You need to try Delco Steaks!!!
