"Chubby’s is right next door to Dalessandro’s, so it’s like Biggie and Tupac living across from each other in the ’90s. But the winner of this cheesesteak battle is us—since we can head to either, depending on the lines. The crispy-on-the-outside, fluffy-on-the-inside rolls are filled with quality strips of juicy ribeye and smothered with any cheese you like (even pepper jack, which is unforgivable). Plus, it can get tavern-esque, since they serve beer and have a few TVs—sit at one of the stools at the counter so you can dive into your steak while watching the game.
