Philly Cheese Steak

Philly Cheesesteak sandwich with Onion Rings. Very tender bun, easy to rip in two, and the cheese stretches when you do. Probably provolone.

The history of the Philly cheesesteak is a bit murky, but the most popular story is that it was invented by Pat and Harry Olivieri, two brothers who ran a hot dog stand near South Philadelphia’s Italian Market in the early 1930s. According to the story, one day a customer asked for a sandwich with some of the thinly sliced beef that the brothers were using to make their hot dogs. The brothers obliged, and the cheesesteak was born.

The Philly Cheese quickly became popular, and the Olivieri brothers opened a restaurant called Pat’s King of Steaks in 1933. Pat’s is still in business today, and it is one of the most popular cheesesteak restaurants in Philadelphia.

Another popular story about the origin of the cheesesteak is that it was invented by a man named Joe Fasano, who owned a restaurant called Manny’s Steaks in the late 1930s. According to this story, Fasano was inspired to create the sandwich after seeing a customer eating a hot dog with onions. Fasano decided to try grilling some beef and onions together, and he put the sandwich on a roll. The sandwich was a hit, and Manny’s Steaks became one of the most popular cheesesteak restaurants in Philadelphia.
