The Best Philly Cheesesteaks in Portland, Oregon | Eater Portland

"Owner Tom Amick may cringe at patrons asking for a “Philly” cheesesteak, but Pennsylvania transplants in Rip City flock to the unconventional food cart oasis off Southeast Division for confidently grilled sliced steak on soft, slightly sweet Amoroso’s rolls. Cheese options include American, provolone, Swiss, or Cheez Whiz. Grab a Northwest beer or cider on tap from the main cart, or an espresso drink at the adjoining coffee stand owned by Amick’s son-in-law. The eclectic dining space is covered but open air, with an occasional wood fire burning on colder days." - Nathan Williams
