THE BEST CHEESESTEAKS IN PHILLY


I learned of this place years ago when my father's best friend
came over to check on me and see how I was doing. I was dieting
at the time and had to pass, but that cheese steak smelled so good,
that I had a hard time trying to maintain my self-control.
So the day came when I get to break the fast and splurge on
a sandwich. I prefer to have it with mayo, Swiss, extra fried onions,
mushrooms and seeded peppers. Otherwise, I love it hoagie style
with lettuce and tomatoes too.

The possibilities are endless with cheesesteaks.

The word "Cheesesteak" is very vague in the city of Philadelphia. You really do have to be specific about how you want it. I've even had a chicken Teriyaki cheesesteak with provolone, green peppers, mushrooms and onions or had it doused in cheese whiz by the co-creators...more on that story later. Right now, I'm specifically writing about the best beef cheesesteak you can get in Philadelphia. It's a place called A & A Deli Grocery, right on the corner of Haverford and Farson Streets.



So, I finally got the phone number from my Dad's best friend and that
cheesesteak was so juicy that it just melted in my mouth.
Yes, indeed...no matter how I decide to change the condiments and the
veggies, they really do make the best cheesesteak in Philly.
Mmmmm, mmmmm, um! That thing is hot to def right there!
The ironic twist is when, I went to Google Maps, to get a photo of
the place. I noticed the sign on the storefront. It reads, "The Best
Cheesesteak in Philly", well yeah! Like my Dad's best friend
often yells out, "GIMME MINE!"


They've accomplished their goal. As a matter of fact, cheesesteak
sounds good for dinner tonight. Yup! Yup!


You can check them out here:

If you're a tourist and you know nothing of the quaint and cozy corner store in the city of Philadelphia, here is where you'll find it. Although space is tight, the place is always clean, neat and the fella's are always smiling. Sometimes they don't charge me for extras, when usually they would. However, the price is not anywhere near what it should be for tasting so good. Makes you wanna kiss the cook. Surprisingly, all these years and I've never asked his name. Hmmm...maybe it's time I should.
