    Wow... this post is just... wow. So wrong. I'm a native Houstonian, and while I like Texadelphia, I consider it a completely different (and not as tasty) sandwich. Everything about a good cheesesteak in Philly is better - starting with the roll. The meat is consistently better too. :(

    I'll be back at Pat's in two weeks - Extra wiz wit' for me, please!

    OMFG that place is SOOOOOOOOO good. I've been trying to find somewhere like it everywhere.

    If you go.. the peppercorn cheesesteak is the BOMB. I'm sorry but no on else comes close.

    No kidding. BIG, BIG fan of their peppercorn cheese steak, and just had one last weekend. If I worked near home I would eat there every other day.

    If you're putting jalapeƱos and salsa instead of cheese, it's no longer a philly cheese steak sandwich.

    True, but it's still more delicious, IMO.

    Glad someone else liked it. What'd you order? I didn't make it over there today, but I still want to try one of the Italian sandwiches at some point this week.

    For some reason, I really like the cheesesteak at Niko Niko's. It's not the typical Philly cheese sauce, but the thing is just great.

    The closest cheesesteak joint near me is Great Wraps in FC mall. It's alright, but no where near authentic.
