The Not-Your-Average Philly Cheesesteak Guide

"We know—it would take something extraordinary to convince you to cheat on your go-to cheesesteak order. But we’re here to tell you that they’re performing bread-filling miracles with the oxtail and salmon cheesesteaks at this North Philly shop. On one, you’ll find tender pieces of oxtail and gravy, fried onions and bell peppers, and a provolone and American cheese mix that’s just the right balance of salty and creamy. On the other, a soft, long roll is loaded with chopped grilled salmon, grilled spinach, onions, peppers, and a melty provolone sauce. They’re the kind of sandwiches you’ll clear your schedule for (which you’ll have to, since there’s always a line), and that’s because they’re bliss-inducing. We’d make them mayor if we could." - candis mclean
