In 1967-68 when I was stationed in Philly there was a little hole-in-the-wall shop around Chestnut St and 13th Street off of Broad Street that had The absolute BEST Cheesesteak I ever had...
In fact, as far as I’m concerned, there is no cheesesteak outside of Philly....All others are imposters...
It’s the roll. There is only one bakery that makes it, and even in Philadelphia not every one used the right roll. They are impostors.
