Is a Philly cheesesteak sandwich as good as they say?
Having lived at the Jersey Shore since I was eight I grew up with the myth of the Philly Cheesesteak, the names of the shops were spoken like the names of saints: Pat’s, Geno’s, Jim’s and so on. I remember walking down the boardwalk and seeing bright red neon signs the read “Philly Cheesesteaks” and then eating a plain old Jersey cheesesteak on the way home because everything on the boardwalk cost so much. I remember years of feeling like I was being robbed of some great joy and that I was truly missing out on something magical.
