Yo! DrBenway. Jim's, no doubt. If ever in Philly, try Ishkabibble, across the street from Jim's, a little east on South. Outdoor window, and inside dining with 3 barstools. Place is great.

Any former Philly folks won't recognize South St., as all the trees with gum stuck to them have been cut down. In fact, all the trees are gone, new ones planted. Seems way to bright there in the daytime.

Anyway, Jim's rules.

Never had a Philly cheese steak...

 

[Khanate]

Any cheese, bleu, cheddar, mozzarella, munster, etc... And I said cheese, not 'whiz'

 

[kydsid]

Whiz, no doubt.

That being said I always got a kick out of all the Philippinos bringing back Cheez Whiz from home that was made in like 1982. I guess the stuff doesn't expire. Even in tropical heat and humidity for 20 plus years. :O

Sounds good. I haven't been to Philly since shortly after finishing school, and that was, umm, a long time ago. I'm sure things have changed quite a bit in the neighborhoods that I used to know.

I always thought Jim's made a great steak. Sounds like the neighborhood has really changed. Do you happen to know if the Book and Record is still there on South St.? I spent a lot of my spare cash (what little I had) on used records there. They had a great selection; I really miss that place.

American cheese no doubt. That's the tradition and the best tasting.

My order is:
Steak and Cheese, with mushrooms, green peppers and onions; and mayonnaise spread to one side of the sub bread.

Yes, but I am in Canada and have never seen them sold anywhere here. Hmm, maybe i should open a Philly Cheese Steak joint up. Could be profitable seeing as I might be the only Western Canadian joint selling them. I think it is Pizza Hut that has a Philly Cheese Steak pizza and I have had that.

I have had roast beef and cheese sandwiches many times so close enough. BTW, us Brits invented that and the only cheese we use is cheddar on roast beef sandwiches, oh yea, we invented the sandwich too.

Canada, too far away to pay you a visit but thanks anyway. I should check out Arby's and see if they sell them.

Just realized I have had that at subway so I can get those in Canada.

Spent some time in Philly. Genos had nice lighting but a so so CS. Pats looked like it was older than the stanley steamer but at least the sandwiches were better than Geno's. My favorite was Jim's was my favorite. Must be Provalone "wit" onions and sometimes some MLT. Whiz (for me at least) was just a good way to ruin the sub. I hope someone from Philly clues us in on were to get the best in town.

You besmirch me, good sir! I sent that PM at 15:32 on the 4th of February. It contained useful followup questions, which have as yet gone unanswered.

Damn! You all made me really hungry...

It is a much heated debated on who has the best in town. There are a lot of places that I have yet to order cheese steaks from but I feel I have gone to most of the more popular ones.
My order would be:
1) Jim's
2) Rick's
3) Tony Luke's
4) Pete's Lunchbox (truck at 33rd and Lancaster)
5) Ishkabibble's
