When it comes to the 鈥榦riginal and the best鈥? there鈥檚 only one place to eat an authentic cheese steak - in the city of its invention: Philadelphia. First offered as a tasty snack in 1952, the cheese steak - a long roll sandwich filled with thinly sliced steak and smothered in cheese - is as intertwined with the history of Philadelphia as the Declaration of Independence.
At street vendors, quality restaurants and even at the city鈥檚 fantastic new sporting venue Citizens Bank Park 鈥?home of the Phillies 鈥?you can buy cheese steaks everywhere.

Acting on the advice of a cab driver who eagerly sampled the alternative hot dog, Pat opened his own restaurant in the Italian market area of South Philadelphia, modestly called 鈥楶at鈥檚 King of Steaks鈥?

Although slightly clouded by claim and counter-claim it is generally thought that in 1952 Geno鈥檚 employee Joe Vento added Cheese Whiz to the steak sandwich and renamed it a cheese steak. Pat鈥檚 promptly followed suit but offered a selection of different cheeses to add to their steak sandwich. This event provoked bitter rivalry between Pat鈥檚 and Geno鈥檚, which is still in evidence today, and many native Philadelphians still disagree about which of the two establishments produces the best cheese steak sandwich. However, as they're located on the same street, it鈥檚 easy to visit both restaurants and make up your own mind!
