On Friday my childhood friend J. came to play with me. Now, technically, J. and I only met in high school but for a reason I can no longer remember I call her my childhood friend. I haven't seen her in a long time but when I moved back to the east coast I gave her a call and suggested she come play in Philly (she lives in New Jersey). And she did! It was like magic! So on Friday I picked her up from the train station and we quickly made our way to South Philly in order to have cheesesteaks. J. had an opinion about which one of the two famous, touristy cheesesteak shops to visit and with that opinion we went to Pat's King of Steaks. I managed to order my cheesesteak correctly though the near toothless man who took the order was so brusque that I almost walked away without my change...which I guess is part of Pat's charm...surly toothless cash register dudes.
I ordered a cheese whiz steak 'wit' onions. It was pretty great. All fake cheese and greasy steak juice. My first few bites were more bread than steak or cheese but once I got into it I was very satisfied.
Next month maybe I'll try Geno's. It seems all Disney World tricked out. The question I almost don't want to pose is this: how different can one cheesesteak be from any other? Answer me that.

Oh very and neither is all that great, but they are the two most famous ones.
Well not very, but a little.
Geno's is all racist and republican and Pat's is all Democrat and lowkey.
