1. Neither.

Tony Luke's by far the best.

Then Jim's.

Then a long way down - Pat's and Geno's.

[rug]

4. I bet you're voting for Jill.

[onehandle]

5. Yep. nt

[msanthrope]

9. Great minds think alike....I posted downthread Tony Luke's. Don't forget the Italian pork wit

Rabe.

[auntpurl]

44. Their Cuban mix, and going to baseball games

Are probably the two biggest things I miss about America. Oh, and my mom.

[msanthrope]

50. Cuban mix. ....damn now I'm hungry. nt

[tallahasseedem]

14. Absolutely!

Pat's and Geno's are tourist cheesesteaks.

[Loki Liesmith]

46. d'Alessandro's

Give Roxborough its prospers please

[auntpurl]

51. Roxborough is not in Philly.

[Loki Liesmith]

55. Lies

people only think that because we actually have trees.

[auntpurl]

59. That's true.

But also it really is miles away. I'm from South Philly, lived for years in West Philly, then when I got married I moved to Drexel Hill for a couple of years before I moved to the UK. Manayunk/Roxborough is as far away from Center City as Drexel Hill almost, and Drexel Hill is definitely the suburbs!

I kid, however. I know Roxborough is TECHNICALLY in Philly.

[BumRushDaShow]

56. Roxborough is very much in Philly

[auntpurl]

57. Roxborough, like Manayunk, is the suburbs.

[BumRushDaShow]

60. Back in the 1800s... sure!

when the city was this -



How else could we become 2nd largest city in the U.S. back then?

[Freddie]

61. I heard those neighborhoods

and Chestnut Hill described as "that part of the city that's really the suburbs."

[merrily]

2. The Philly cheese steak splits are famous and long pre-date the primary.

[rug]

6. The last cockroach to die will be gnawing on a cheeseteak in Philadelphia.

[merrily]

18. There will never be a last roach and, if there were, it would be gnawing on a Twinkie.

Whoever first said "A diamond is forever," was right, but so are roaches and Twinkies.

[onehandle]

3. Neither. Jim’s Steaks on South St. is the best.

The Abbaye in Northern Liberties has the best vegan cheesesteak.

[msanthrope]

7. Tony Luke's. SPLITTER!!!! NT

[onehandle]

15. Tony Luke's is great too.

Far better than the tourist locations of old mentioned in the OP.

[msanthrope]

20. Get the Pork Italian with Rabe and Provolone. Change your life, it will. And Tony's is within walk

distance of the convention.

[rug]

8. You should be booted off the Rules Committee for saying that.

[whistler162]

11. Isn't that the Drules committee!

HMMMMMMM..... philly steak!!!!!!

[Lochloosa]

48. Wouldn't that be a vegan sortacheesesomethingnotsteak?

[Gman]

10. Obvious flame bait!

[rug]

12. They're grilled. Take your sorry ass over to Burger King.

[emulatorloo]

13. I have no steak in this, so will not vote in your poll.

[tallahasseedem]

16. ROFL!

[rug]

17. You must as well just vote for trump then.

[emulatorloo]

21. No, he's tasteless.

[rug]

24. !

[gratuitous]

33. Trying to cheese everyone off?

This is important! Or so I've heard.

[BumRushDaShow]

19. As a multi-generational Philadelphian

I really do think that this "rivalry" is completely ridiculous and over-hyped. There are hundreds of places selling cheesesteaks and hoagies all over the city in every neighborhood, and most native Philadelphians have some favorite spot they go to or order from that is not down in South Philly at 9th & Passyunk, where it is almost impossible to park.

[rug]

22. Admit it. You voted for Lincoln Chafee, didn't you?

[BumRushDaShow]

27. I wanted to vote for Kucinich but he dropped out before the PA primary.

[rug]

34. He;s always been a troublemaker.

[BumRushDaShow]

37. He stands by his principles.

[msanthrope]

23. Lighten up, Francis. nt

[BumRushDaShow]

28. No.

[onehandle]

26. 'most native Philadelphians have some favorite spot (near to them)'

Yep. Not a native Philadelphian, but most I know pick their neighborhood spot.

There are great cheesesteaks all over Philly. Meat and Vegan.

[BumRushDaShow]

32. I have a place 1/2 block away that I go to

My brother-in-law swears by Dalessandro's.

[apcalc]

45. My personal fave....

[Loki Liesmith]

49. Yes

[Surya Gayatri]

25. Vegetarian here, so unless they do tofu steaks, I'm not interested.

[rug]

29. The Green Party is that way =======>

[Surya Gayatri]

54. Vegetarians aren't welcome in the Dem Party? I've never voted Green in the GE in my life!

That WAS a just bit of snark, right?

[rug]

58. .

[apcalc]

30. Go to D'Alessandro's in Roxborough!

The best!

[msanthrope]

31. Sorry, but the sauce is not all that. mt

[apcalc]

43. Dunno....don't do sauce....

[BumRushDaShow]

35. As noted in post #32

My BIL's favorite spot.

[rug]

38. I fear our party is splintering.

[bigwillq]

36. I liked Pat's better than Geno's. (nt)

[rug]

39. Finally! A man of decision.

[bigwillq]

40. Ha ha

[apcalc]

41. Mama's in Bala is excellent too!

For cheesesteaks....

[Tree-Hugger]

42. Good God.....never!

Go to a local neighborhood joint and get a good cheesesteak. Forget the chains and the hyped rivalries.

Among the two, remember that Geno's became infamous in Philly and outside Philly for their "this is America, when ordering please speak English" signs and the owner was a vocal anti-immigrant tea party lover. Used to do nasty little spots for a the local Reich wing radio station, 1210 The Big Talker.

[BumRushDaShow]

53. ^^^ THIS ^^^

I know this thread is supposed to lampoon "splits" in the party but in this case, it doesn't establish what was desired if the background isn't delved into before using this as an analogy.

[MadBadger]

47. Which one isnt the english only joint?

I choose that one.

[auntpurl]

52. Pat's is the non-racist one. nt

[Freddie]

62. Whatever you do, don't ask for Swiss!

That was the moment John Kerry's campaign jumped the shark (only kidding).
It's Whiz, American or Provolone.

[edhopper]

63. we are democrats

the party of inclusion and welcome BOTH our P and G brothers and sisters.

Let the Repugs be steakists.

[MyNameGoesHere]

64. Cheese steaks are nasty

Civilized people eat here

[SMC22307]

65. That Pepsi sign is putting me off.

Soda wars!

[yuiyoshida]

66. Its been a long time since I been in Philly

I was seeing it from the comfortable view in a stroller!
