Flew into Philly and rented a car. Have a few hours of driving so I wanted to eat before hitting the road as most places would be closed on arrival. Local on the flight recommended Leo’s Steak Shop about 5-6 miles away. It was delicious. Highly recommend. Had thought about going to Pats again but this was better.






Started off this morning from Alamosa, CO in a Dornier 328.

As weird as it sounds I like whiz on those with onions and hot peppers. Delassandro’s is my favorite….but a ways from the airport.

Not weird at all. Whiz rocks.

Would certainly like to go to Dalessandro's Steaks but they were out of my way. Ordered this one with their recommended Cooper Sharp cheese. Cheese Whiz is good as well.

I think some guys out of Wyoming came down here with dornier fire planes to get current a few months ago. 4 jet engine in a fairly small plane and they were cool.

That cheeze steak looks legit

Ooh, headed to PA for the next tour and gonna do my best to devour a few cheesesteaks. From folks that are natives, they tell me that there's a difference between the hoagies and actual cheesesteaks, in that what we southerners think of cheesesteaks are actually what they call hoagies. Any truth to that?

I'm also told they put ketchup on their cheesesteaks!

Best I got. It’s touristy. I thought it was good.

While in Philly I was told to order that as “whiz with” and I got whiz with onions
I liked Pat’s.

If we can find decent hoagie bread in Texas I think I can replicate one. Not much too it really. Ribeye thin sliced, fried onion and whiz.

I love Cheescakes

Papa Geno’s here in Katy has a pretty good one.

Never understood it.
Not for me.

John's roast pork is excellent. stay away from pats and geno's. tourist traps.

Topwater knows. If you have the chance go here. I have been wanting to for years.

I went to Dallesandros and had one of the worst phillies of my life. The meat tasted like it had been simmering in a crockpot of plain water all day. The cheese and onions were on point, but couldn't make up for the trash meat. The wait was unreal, their process for moving people through the line was absolutely stupid. Complete waste of time, and a terrible sandwich.

Highly recommend you ask a local where they go, and skip the commercialized fad places.
