Philly Cheesesteak

In my opinion the best possible fast food option in the USA is easily the Philly Cheesesteak. Although I tasted my fair share of great, albeit unhealthy, food in the USA, the cheesesteak stood out for me as the tastiest.

I had heard about this amazing sandwich before I had set foot onto American soil and, I have to say, I was extremely excited to try this American treat.

The place we went to was called Pat’s King of Steaks, located on the corner of 9th and Passayunk in South Philadelphia. Apparently if you don’t order quickly and correctly, you don’t get served.

So here I was, an Englishman who’d only been in Philadelphia for about two days and having spoken to a few Americans previously their usual reply being “pardon” because of my accent, I decided not to do the ordering. So I had to get my girlfriend Bobbi to order for me as she’d done it a million times before.

The sandwich is served on a baguette stuffed full with wafer thin steak slices and topped with the most amazingly tasty sauce called ‘Cheese Whiz’. I wasn’t prepared for how much I was going to enjoy it! From the first bite I was in heaven!!! I found myself back at Pat’s a good few times more during my stay in the USA.

To anyone who is holidaying in the US and are in the vicinity of Philadelphia I would definitely recommend a detour to Pat’s for an extremely tasty surprise!
