The Best Philly Cheesesteak

I'm here to put an end to this cheesesteak dispute that has created a surplus of foodie gangs, who remain loyal to their  purveyors of the conglomerate of steak, cheese, peppers, and onions that is a Philly Cheesesteak!  Enough is enough with giving praise to the typical joints, Pats, Genos, and recent new-comer to the world of carnivore tourism Tony Lukes.  Im proud to introduce a gritty, down to earth, and boisterous joint known by meat afficianados as the REAL king of steaks, Jim's Steaks.  This local hotspot has been dishin out delicious steaks for 70 years.  So when it comes down to crowning a steak king, certain measurements are discussed.  The first of which is the stear-cheese portioning.  Jims allows for maximum meat and pretty generous slab of cheese, which can be either provolone, mozz, american, or wiz.  The second criteria that a Cheesesteak is judged upon, is of course the bread! Now, for someone who comes from the mecca of all things bread, New York, I find all of these "hoagies" subpar.  Nothing out of the ordinary, but I do say the difference comes in the size.  These hoagies allow for a no-over-flow meal, which I am particularly fond of.  Jims offers a second version of the cheesesteak, the cheesesteak hoagie.  The cheesesteak hoagies is as follows : tomatos, lettuce, and mayo added to the cheese steak order.  Tomatos cause a sort of tatonic shift in the opposite sides of the bread, usually forcing one to retire from the meal, which is a bullshit thing to happen from a condiment, nonetheless the crime is committed on a daily basis.   The third and final criteria is of course the atmosphere.  When considering Jim's rivals, Pats & Genos, people usually lean towards the latter two places in terms of atmosphere, simply because of the fame!  How lame is fame! Jim's is indoor, unlike its competitors, therefore when you enter this temple of steak your nose is dominated by the smell of cheese, onions, and STEAK.  Its loud, its in your face, its a REAL philly cheesesteak.


Jims Steaks is located on 4 & South Street in Philadelphia.
