"Pat’s King of Steaks is a South Philadelphia institution that pumps out the city’s famously messy sandwich 24 hours a day. The cheesesteak, nearly the same as the original born here 85 years ago, consists of an Italian hoagie roll packed with thinly sliced rib eye and Spanish onions, sautéed on a flat-top grill. Only Pat’s can claim to be the original, as the cheesesteak was invented in 1930 on this very corner by Harry and Pat Olivieri." - Ariel Ramchandani
