I would also be interested in knowing that.

I’ve never been to PA, and I’ve thought about vacationing there for no other reason than I’ve always wanted a real, true, Philly Cheesesteak, because I’ve heard about them all my life. I’ve had the Arby’s version, and it’s a good sandwich, but I’d bet it’s not the same. Maybe not even close.

But with the psycho maniac and his psycho cohorts running the place, any plans to go there are on indefinite hold and very low on the priority list.

It's not.

And the Arby's "Greek Gyro" doesn't come anywhere close to the real thing.

It's not even close. A real cheese steak starts with an Amoroso's roll. There is only one bakery in the world that makes the correct roll. Lower your expectations about the meat. While a lot better than Arby's, do not think it is some gourmet thing with filet, rib eye or NY strip. The meat is thinly sliced and cooked through. Toppings should be limited. The best places have steady business at all hours. This means they have limited toppings so they can make cheese steaks fast. You want to look for a place that has a flattop grill that has mounds of meat and onions. Typical choices for cheese are provolone or cheese whiz (not my favorite). You can get a cheese steak with or with out onions. When you order you just say, in the following order, the cheese, and whether you want onions. For example, one provey wid. Or one whiz wid'out. ('Wid' is how 'with' is pronounced).

Beware of tourist traps. I'm not a fan of Geno's or Pat's, they are famous but they are just okay. It's a personal thing. Most people who grew up in Philadelphia prefer what they grew up with - meaning their neighborhood deli. When you enter a good deli there needs to be hanging meats, rolls out in the open, a small grocery area and a pickle barrel. There is a distinctive smell that hits your nose as you walk it.

One more thing. A cheese steak is not a sandwich. It's not a sub, hoagie, or grinder. It's just a cheese steak.

This article in the faraway UK Daily Mail, "'Why not Pat's or Geno's?' Trump ignites fierce Philly's cheesesteak debate after ordering one from Dalessandro's restaurant - and NOT the city's two most famous spots", reveals that President Trump got his cheesesteak (shown below on on Air Force One) there in Philly yesterday from "Dalessandro's", rather than "Pat's Steaks" or "Geno's Steaks", but you can't go wrong with any of them!

“ I’ve never been to PA, and I’ve thought about vacationing there for no other reason than I’ve always wanted a real, true, Philly Cheesesteak...”

They are good, but nothing like a Primanti’s Sandwich (Pittsburgh area and select other locations).
