Philadelphia (Cheese Steaks)


Steve's (Philadelphia) - Pennsylvania  2018

Barry's (Philadelphia) - Pennsylvania  2018

We took a day trip from Allentown to Philadelphia. Parked downtown and visited the Reading Market, a Pikes Place-type foodie destination. Spent some time walking around but didn’t get anything, other than some doughnuts that Dan bought.

Our two main goals were to sample a selection of Philly Cheese Steak sandwiches and to visit the famous Barnes Museum. So, first the sandwiches. We sampled three places: Steve’s, Barry’s, and Dalessandro’s. All the offerings were good, with perhaps a tie beween Barry’s and Dalessandro’s for first place. Third place goes to Steve’s, because they use pressed meat (we preferred chopped.)

[UPDATE:  But as Hali says (in the comments): "I do think the roll at Steve's was the best. Crunchy crust, soft interior."]

I agree with your explanation of the meat, however I do think the roll at Steve's was the best. Crunchy crust, soft interior.
