Geno's Philadelphia Cheese Steak
If you have not done it before, buying a Philly cheese steak can be quite an enjoyable and tasty experience. When I first moved to the Philadelphia area the guys in my office decided to go out to eat lunch. We went to eat at a local Philly cheese steak place called Steve’s. Most of these eating establishments are converted houses and there is no real seating per say.
There is not much else on the menu other than fries, soda, and cheese steaks. That is what makes this so great. It is a real man’s hoagie, sub or hero- whatever you call it in your town- and this is awesome eats. Your sandwich can have onions and condiments, which are made up of sweet and sour pickles, sweet or hot peppers.
The food is so great there is usually a pretty big line so be patient and be ready to order quickly. When you get to the front you will be ask the ultimate question, “Wit or witout?” What does this mean? In any other city it means nothing, but in Philly it means, “wit onions or witout onions”. The witout stands for “without”.
If you are not quick in giving the answer you may get the anger of the owner up and be asked to move aside so someone else on line can order. The most famous Philadelphia cheese steak establishment is Geno’s. Geno’s Philadelphia Cheese Steak is layered with thinly sliced rib-eye steak, melted cheese, oven-fresh baked bread and delicately grilled onions.
Geno’s started in 1966 and serves locals and celebrities like Patti LaBelle, Tony Danza and Ryan Seacrest, just to name a few. Located at 1219 South 9th St. in Philadelphia Call (215) 389-0659. Geno's is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
There is no indoor dining, but there are tables under canopies on the sidewalk for those who wish to enjoy sandwiches on the premises rather than drive off with them. Stop by when you're in town and see why Geno's Cheese Steaks is a Philadelphia tradition.
