No it’s real steak I live in Philly and had them both.
But on another note there is a possibly even better cheese steak place featured on Man vs. Food being: Tony Lukes it’s steaks to me are even better than both pat’s and geno’s. If ur ever in Philly check them all out.

The idea of roast pork + rabe sounds like something I need to try about.. now. Too bad I can’t fly out to Philly for the weekend!

Best cheesesteak in Philly (based on eating 4 of them over a 2 day period 4 years ago, so clearly I am a major, major expert here) is at Steve’s Prince of Steaks

Tony Luke’s Roast pork italian with rabe, tho, was the sandwich that left the bigger impression on me. Out freakin standing.

We went to the Broad Street tavern, and Dante and Luigi’s, which is one of Terry’s favorite old-school Italian restaurants, and we went on a walk-through of the Reading Market. We were only there for a long weekend…

Wow, Susanna Foo is a blast from the past. I believe her restaurant was really in its prime when I lived in the city – about 12+ years back. I think she’s been eclipsed a few times over by some of the newer chefs in Philadelphia. I’d be curious to hear about where Julie (and others) have been eating in Philadelphia these days. Myself – I’d beat down the door to Amada if I were in Philadelphia right now.

I have to admit I love cheese steak sandwiches and I will thank Philly for coming up with the idea. However I have tried 3 different places in Philly and they all made me want to puke! The best cheese steak I have ever had believe it or not is Penn Station in Cincy.

I think you’re all wrong. The best cheesteak in Philly are; All of them!!! Kind of like the Italian beefs in Chicago. They’re all good and I believe the secret is a good crusty bread. At least locally we can get a good Philly cheese at Penn Station, but still waiting for a decent Italian beef or a roast pork w/broccoli rabe.

Second Tony Luke’s and would add John’s for Roast Pork. Both Philly originals and can’t be duplicated anywhere else just like a Cuban sandwich in Tampa or a Lobster or Clam Roll in New England. You also can’t get authentic chili five way outside Cincinnati either.
