asked for extra steak and cheese on my cheesesteak…

the fact that it was literally coming out of the bread did the trick for me

Maybe I'm a hater, but that is what I expect when I order a normal cheesesteak.

Edit* why is this my most like comment ever lmao?

I always order extra cheese because cheesesteaks are almost always dry and terrible. Went to Philly just to do a weekend cheesesteak tour and I kid you not, every single one was dry.

It's the suffering from its own reputation of success issue. It regularly plagues areas that get famous for a food. I've heard anecdotally it's hard to get a really good standard cubano in Miami because they either half as sit to coast on reputation, or feel a need to put a spin on it.

The average slice of pizza isn't that standout in NYC either. You have to find a good place if you want it exceptional.

Damn, very true.

If you do it again just go to Angelo’s in south Philly. You’ll never need to do a tour again because none are as good

All the "famous" ones are mid. I'm a big fan of Saads halal. That is a fuckin cheesesteak

Where did you go? Pats and genos? Jims? If you went to a tourist trap that's your own fault.

This. Tbh if I feel like spending the money, John's roast pork has some really good cheese steaks IMO

They must have advertisers on Reddit because I see them referenced in Philly sports subs a bit and I just can’t stand their food.

Dalessandro's and other recommendations, only tourist trap one I went to was Jims, just for commparison. Probably 7-8 places in total, they were all dry. My local place, Carl's Steaks in Walthma, MA, blows anything in that city out of the water.

You don't do ketchup on yours?

u/Lerlif 9d ago

Agreed, I thought that was the standard sandwich and the ‘extra’ was that they’d given OP a whole extra sandwich

u/danfish_77 11d ago

That looks completely normal, how little do they give you normally??

u/Chloe-ship5789 11d ago

this comment made me realize that they’ve been skimping LOL

u/ernyc3777 11d ago

For real. I thought they ordered a half and they gave them a whole.

u/henrythehunter1025 11d ago

Can't post pictures in comments but this looks pretty typical for a cheesesteak. Last time I went to Angelo's in philly it was even more packed than this and I didn't ask for extra.
