I don&#8217;t tend to even try getting them around here because I don&#8217;t want to eat all of that fat, calories, salt, etc. for an inferior product. This article suggests I can come close at a few locations.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>In our area, you can eat a cheese steak on genuine Amoroso rolls at Philadelphia Water Ice Factory, at Philadelphia Cheesesteak Factory, and at South Street Steaks. The bread, in fact, is often a selling point for these shops. Why? Because the only cheese steak ingredient that can&#8217;t be fudged is the roll, says Peter Mossaidis, a Philly native and owner of the small Cheesesteak Factory chain. South Street&#8217;s owner Danny Uhr agrees.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I&#8217;ll second the Amoroso roll statement, they make a big difference. I have been to Philadelphia Cheesesteak Factory and found the steak (pictured above) I got there okay &#8212; they use a little too much whiz that might be watered down. I am disappointed that one place I had been interested in, Al&#8217;s Steaks in Del Ray, Alexandria gets the &#8220;no whiz&#8221; rating. I may try it anyway someday.<\/p>\n<p>By the way, if I ever move away from the D.C. area the first thing I am going to do is complain about how you can&#8217;t get a decent half-smoke around my new home.<\/p>\n<p>Also, the story opens up by saying &#8220;you can&#8217;t get an authentic cheese steak an hour outside (of Philly).&#8221; Circa 1995, there was a place in Bloomsburg, Pa. that advertised on the radio that they served the &#8220;best cheesesteaks north of Allentown&#8221; which I thought was one of the weakest advertising slogans I had ever heard.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stealing Home: A Philly Love Song &#8211; CityPaperI am not a Philadelphia expatriate, but I do love a good Philly cheesesteak wit whiz.
