I'm taking my friend to Philly tomorrow and she needs a cheesesteak. I'm leaning toward's Pat's coz it's cheaper, and I don't like all of Geno's racist bullshit. Which has the fresher rolls?

i don't think i've ever actually heard anyone ask about the freshness of the rolls when it comes to cheesesteak!

Yeah, but we're going to see Diplo, adn the farthest south we'll be is the Mummers Museum (1100 S 2nd), so Tony Luke's is like way far away :-(

Fuck Geno's and their xenophobia/racism.

If you have to go to that particular intersection go to Pat's KOS.

Weird. I literally just finished eating a cheesesteak from Pat's. More out of convenience than anything else since both Pat's and Geno's are three blocks away from my house and I was hungry with an empty fridge.

It's true neither one is really anything to write home about, but if you have to choose, it's Pat's all the way. Geno's looks like someone vomited neon all over the place and, more importantly, has inferior steaks. If it was better than Pat's the politics wouldn't really matter to me but since it isn't the "This is America, Please Speak English" sign and the fact that they offer "Freedom Fries" makes it twice as unappealing.

Pat's = better steaks, far better fries, less fanatical right-wing maniacs lurking in the shadows, etc.

But if you're near south street just go to Jim's or the little trumpeted La Pizzeria.

I wanted cheesesteak and was taken to Pat's and it wasn't especially culinary but it was certainly an experience.

I too disdained Geno's for political reasons.

We walked a block past Geno's, away from Pat's, along that diagonal street, and went to the bar. I liked it in there, though they seemed to think I spoke like some kind of freak.
