    Amoroso hasn't been the standard roll in the region for about 20 years. Aside from maybe Lee's and Slack's, only a few pizza shops and corner delis still use Amoroso rolls. Most of the "soft" rolls are from Liscio's bakery these days, and the crusty seeded rolls are typically from either Sarcone's or Carangi.

    John's Roast Pork is the clear winner. Not too fine, not too thick steak. Cheese and onions are mixed through out so you get some in every bite. The bun isn't too thick. All the ratios are in harmony and you get that unctuous, juicy, savory bite - this is the single most important factor. Also, onions are always a must. Optional, but highly recommended, would be hot peppers for that acidity and heat.

    The secret to a great cheesesteak is the roll. It has to be extremely fresh and sturdy enough to stand up to all the beef drippings, but yet not too tough. I also think that provolone is the best cheese option.

      Obviously provolone! 💯
      I suppose if you get a cheesesteak regularly, it's nice to have options to prevent getting burned out on just one cheese flavor, but if and when I ever visit Philadelphia to try their cheessteaks, I would want to savor the beef. I already frikn know what Cheese Whiz tastes like, and I've had plenty of cheesesteaks from other places where I live. Provolone complements the steak without being overly loud, letting the meat speak to it's quality and preparation. I could be wrong, but thats currently my (admittedly non-expert) opinion.

    Angelo’s is by far the best steak in the city these days imo, but Dalessando’s and Tony & Nick’s are also excellent. I personally think Tony & Nicks has the best bread out of everybody (except Angelo’s of course), but they cook their meat on such low temp it never has that great maillard. Daleddandro’s is the opposite- their meat and onions are cooked to perfection but the bread doesn’t quite keep up. But that’s the beauty of Philly steaks!

    Sorry about the second post....Benjamin Franklin is buried with his wife Deborah at Christ Church 340 N 5th St, Philadelphia, PA 19106 (corner of 5th & Arch.) This is the Old City section of Center City Philadelphia. You can view the grave site from the street. It's the grave with all the pennies on it. Why? One of Franklin's most famous adages, “A penny saved is a penny earned,” has, over time, compelled thousands of visitors to toss pennies onto his marble grave marker at the Church Christ Burial Ground at 5th & Arch streets for luck. Also it's traditional for engaged couple to visit and both toss a penny, if it hits and stays on top you'll have a great marriage. Yes my wife and I visited and both got the penny to stay on top, that was 45 years ago and we are going strong!
