That's awesome. Yeah that Pat's vs. Geno's thing is like the Red Sox and the Yankees I hear. You are usually loyal to one and not the other. I saw someone from Philly area on a talk show the other night and he was saying something like "no way I never have set foot in Pat's and I never will." The host was like "oh come on you got to try Pat's just once" and he was like "no way, I'm not doing it. I'm a Geno's guy".

I had never heard of that before.

Geno's blows.

Go to Pat's and Tony Lukes.

John's is good too.


If you have the balls to go to Camden....Donkey's is probably the best of them all.

growing up was a huge fan of the Philadelphia Flyers, however, I have never been to philly, apart from driving through on the way to Atlantic City.

Would love to see a Flyers Playoff game one of these days.

That's part of the trick. We can't get whiz cheese here. It's always white cheese.

Brother, let me tell you about Cheese Steaks. Go to the Pennsport Pub close to the docs in south philly. It's a seedy looking spot, but they make a killer Cheese Steak and at the same time you can watch strippers make the rounds on the U shaped bar... What a great combo!

Also, Dalessandro's in North Philly is better then both Pats and Geno's. Tony Lukes has a great pork sandwich not to be missed!

If you need any bar locations or spots to sit down and eat let me know, have fun!

Oh, yeah Larry's is also good.

When I was there, I was told to hit Soho, which was close to the Sheraton.......I thoroughly enjoyed it!

I was down in Philly a few months ago and after a night out, the girl I was with drove us to get some Pat's which hit the spot. I don't get the whole Pat's vs Geno's thing :think2: I'm sure both serve up good cheesesteaks. And how much difference can you really taste when you spent all night :drink:
