So let me just start out by saying I've never been a big Cheese Steak fan. But I hadn't been to Philly before either. Given all the buzz about their cheese steaks, it was high up on our agenda of things to do in Philly. We found out that two of the most popular places to eat are right across the street from each other.

The first one we hit was called Geno's. The only reason we picked it was because of the added gaudiness of its building. Nice job guys! but we knew we'd be having dinner with a friend of mine in a few hours so we didn't want to get overly full. We decided to split one amongst the three of us for a taste test:

We went pretty plain with ours...just steak, provolone cheese and onions. In a word, I thought it was awesome. The steak had great flavor and the onions were sauteed just enough. The bread also had a little juice in it that reminded me of Italian Beef sandwiches from Chicago. The only knock I had on their sandwich was the amount of stuff in their sandwich...it was a little lean on the filling...
