Dear Colleagues,

If you must have a cheesesteak, I strongly urge you to hop in your rental car or take pricier cab to Tony Luke's at Front/Oregon Sts. Pat's and Geno's are in my mind, full of style but lack in substance. At Tony Luke's you get both; provolone is shaved into your bread, etc.

If you are in South Philly and need a deli sandwich, let me strongly suggest Sarcone's to you, at 10th/Fitzwater Sts. Their rolls are hands-down the best. They only bake a set amount of rolls per day, and once they are sold, they close the door!
