Cheesesteaks are not a guilty pleasure, but rather the backbone of “Guy Food” cuisine throughout the Delaware Valley and especially Philadelphia. While Pat’s and Geno’s play a key role in the history of this local delight, these Washington Street landmarks and publicity seekers have been surpassed many times by griddle masters from South Jersey to South Philadelphia. Fellow Boston University graduate and WIP 610 mid-day talk show co-host Glen Macnow is an expert in Philadelphia Cheesesteak evolution and eateries. Last year “The Prof” conducted a exhaustive search for the most delicious Philadelphia Cheesesteaks in the area and the results are indisputable. His comprehensive report cites John’s House of Pork as the best Cheesesteaks on the planet followed closely by Steve’s Prince of Steaks.
