Authentic Philly cheesesteaks with thinly sliced beef and cheese
"Bradley Cooper makes a mean cheesesteak. Or at least, he and his partners at Angelo’s Pizzeria, who make Philly’s best cheesesteak, are making mean cheesesteaks on Avenue A. The perfect combination of beef, onions, salt, pepper, and gooey Cooper Sharp cheese is the only thing on the menu at this counter-service spot right off Tompkins Square Park, and what sets this sandwich apart is the bread. Baked in-house, these crusty, fluffy sesame seed hoagie rolls are a force multiplier for the deliciously caramelized ribeye in the sandwich. Get a side of hot and sweet peppers, and take it to the park for a picnic." - will hartman, bryan kim, willa moore, kenny yang, neha talreja
"This collaboration between Philly hype spot Angelo’s and actor Bradley Cooper is turning out a really, really good cheesesteak that rivals any I’ve had in my home state. There’s no nonsense here: As they should be, these cheesesteaks are just meat, cheese, and onions, with a side of peppers (sweet or hot) if you’d like. The bread is a surprising standout, with a toasty flavor, a pleasant waft of sesame, and a just-right amount of squish." The place has been popular, with fans hoping to see Cooper himself, but at 2 p.m. on a recent Friday afternoon, there was barely a line. "I felt somewhat smug the next day when I walked by Angelo’s in Philly and saw it completely mobbed with crowds." — Bettina Makalintal, senior reporter at Eater.com." - Eater Staff
"You know what tastes really good together? Beef and onions. Throw in a little Cooper Sharp cheese, a crusty-yet-chewy sesame seed hoagie, and just enough salt and pepper to let you know that they’re there, and you’ve got yourself a damn fine sandwich. Thankfully, someone figured that out in the 1930s, about 100 miles south of here. That cheesesteak has been perfected at East Village counter Danny & Coop’s. A collab between Angelo’s, which holds the crown for Philly’s top cheesesteak, and Bradley Cooper, actor and professional haver of blue eyes, Danny & Coop's is currently open Wednesday-Sunday. Cooper’s occasional presence behind the counter can draw serious lines, but they do a good job cranking quickly through orders. Any wait will be worth it. photo credit: Kate Previte photo credit: Kate Previte photo credit: Kate Previte Pause Unmute Every element works in harmony here: the steak is sliced nice and thin, and it gets cooked hard on a flat-top while still retaining moisture. There’s just enough cheese to hold everything together without overpowering the beef and jammy onions. Even when Cooper happens to be behind the grill, it’s the gorgeous, pretzel-like color of the bread that draws our undivided attention. Food Rundown Cheesesteak The $18 cheesesteak is the only thing on the menu, and it’s a gooey, oniony masterpiece. They’ll ask if you want sweet or hot peppers on the side when you order—get both. photo credit: Kate Previte" - Will Hartman
"This spot comes from Philly’s best cheesesteak maker, Angelo’s, and known Philadelphia Eagles fan, Bradley Cooper. There’s one thing on the menu, and it’s excellent: thinly sliced, black-pepper seasoned steak glued together with Cooper Sharp cheese on crusty bread. The Order: The only choice you have to make is whether you want hot or sweet peppers on the side—just get both." - will hartman, willa moore, neha talreja, bryan kim, sonal shah, molly fitzpatrick
"Somehow, the most beautiful thing about Danny & Coop’s in the East Village isn’t co-owner (and occasional sandwich-maker) Bradley Cooper’s chiseled jawline and piercing blue eyes. It’s the burnished, spongy, sesame-seeded hoagie rolls their cheesesteaks are made on. After a successful pop-up last year, the actor partnered up with Angelo’s—which holds the crown for Philly's best cheesesteak—to open this counter-service spot where we spotted at least seven different Eagles hats. The $17 cheesesteaks live up to high expectations, with well-browned shreds of salty steak, gooey Cooper sharp cheese, and sweet, jammy onions on that perfect roll. Keep an eye on Instagram for hours during their soft-open phase—and expect a line, especially if Cooper’s behind the grill." - bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, willa moore, will hartman, sonal shah, bryan kim, bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, bryan kim, sonal shah, bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, will hartman, will hartman, bryan kim, willa moore, willa moore, will hartman, sonal shah, w
