Pat's and Geno's!

Although it was a Sunday, Jamison and I decided that since we are in Philadelphia...gosh darnit we have to get a philly cheese steak! {It knocks out one of the those life goals, to eat a philly..in Philly!} We couldn't just eat any cheese steak...but the world's best cheese steak! So to satisfy our needs we decided to go to both Pat's and Geno's!

Pat's and Geno's both consider themselves to make "The Best Cheese Steak in the World" and to make it even better..they are next door neighbors! So, we decided to put them to the test and decide for ourselves who we thought had the "World's Best Cheese Steak". We bought one cheese steak at Geno's and then walked across the street to Pat's and bought another one. So ultimately we had a sandwich each. Not too unhealthy right?!


For all of you rookies...this is a Philly Cheese Steak with 'Wizz with' {Meaning cheese wizz with onions}. This seemed to be the standard from all of the locals to get the 'Wizz with', {and President Obama ordered this when he visited the place} so we followed along with everyone else and ordered this! Yummy!

So after eating at both places...we then had to choose...



Geno's...


or Pat's?

And although both places had some delicously made Philly cheese steaks...the winner by slim margins is......


Geno's! We felt that they both had wonderful taste, but Geno's had better food presentation, better customer service, and slightly beat out Pat's because of the flavor in 'each' bite that we took. {ha! I sound like the Food Network!}

{Did anyone else think that it was funny the stark differences between the level of 'showiness' from both Pat's and Geno's? Geno's looks amazing...while Pat's looks like a local diner. Nonetheless, they are both yummy places to go eat!}

Next stop? Love Park!
