50 States, 50 Sizzling Dishes: The Ultimate Foodie Road Trip Through The USA
Philly Cheesesteak from Pennsylvania
Philly’s heart beats to the sizzle of the humble cheesesteak. It was born around 1930, when Pat Olivieri, a hot dog man, decided to upgrade a customer’s request with thinly sliced beef and onions on a grill.
Fast forward to today, and the Philly cheesesteak reigns supreme. 80% of Philly residents admit to devouring one at least once a month, with iconic joints like Pat’s and Geno’s Steaks drawing lines longer than Rocky Balboa’s punches. Its soul lies in simplicity: thinly sliced ribeye steak nestled in a chewy Italian roll with caramelized onions (and maybe some Cheez Whiz for the purists).
