"Philadelphia may be best known for cheesesteaks, but locals know a little secret: get the roast pork instead. The no-frills John’s Roast Pork in South Philly has been perfecting the sandwich since 1930, even earning a James Beard Award as an American classic. And if you must have a cheesesteak too, this is an excellent place to get one." - Ernest Owens, Eater Staff
