At a recent MD&M East (Medical Design & Manufacturing) trade show in Philadelphia where we were displaying Winatic Corp.’s medical magnetics products, we decided that we should try the Philly cheesesteaks at the most popular joints and conduct our own a taste test. We thought if the Food Network can do it, why not us? The two judges consisted of one native Philadelphian and one from out of state.
We started with Geno’s Steaks on the first night. It was very good. The next one was Chickie’s & Pete’s; it would win for atmosphere and is probably known more for their crabs than cheesesteaks. The third restaurant we tried was Tony Luke’s. We went there right before a Phillies game and of course it was packed. It probably had the best location, being right off the highway. Finally, we wrapped it up with the original, Pat’s King of the Steaks. The historical marker gave it away.
We tried the traditional Philly Cheesesteak at each place and I have to admit, every one of them was great and each had their own specific strengths. We would go back to any of them in a heartbeat. They were all better than any cheesesteak sandwich I could hope to find in Florida.
So here is our ranking:
1. Geno’s Steaks
2. Pat’s & Tony Luke’s (Tie)
3. Chickie’s & Pete’s
Again, they were all delicious. It came down to the meat and we thought that Geno’s had the edge in this area.
