"On a Saturday afternoon in December I watched Jim Pappas enjoy his 986th cheesesteak at Cook and Shaker, a corner spot between Fishtown and Kensington; he was chatty and engaging, filled with endless stories about cheesesteaks, parenting, and life, politely pausing mid-conversation to snap shots of his cheesesteak before and during the meal and dressed to the nines in Philadelphia Cheesesteak Adventure swag, including a T-shirt with a fan-designed cartoon of him driving a sandwich." - Tayler Bunge
