It has been said that the first "cheesesteak" made its appearance in the year 1930. One day, a hot dog vendor named Pat Olivieri, decided to put some beef from the butcher on his grill. A taxi driver noticed the alluring aroma and asked for his own steak sandwich. Then - Voila!
The Philly Steak Sandwich has been born! Except the original did not include cheese. It was not until later that Mr. Olivieri decided to add cheese to his beautiful recipe!
Even if it just so happens that you prefer the "New York" Philly Cheesesteak, traveling to Philadelphia is well worth the trip.
Philadelphia itself is a historical place. Its history pervades each major attraction.
Dating back from when America's founding fathers signed the Declaration of Independence in the Independence Hall, and the ringing of the Liberty Bell in 1776, it is no surprise that the world famous cheesesteak was born to make history in the same political place.
Of course, when traveling to Philly, you are at risk of walking into a restaurant with bad tasting cheesesteaks. So, make sure you pick the right one.
