Buddy,

There are so many great cheesesteak places in and around Philly, they
should force Pat's and Geno's to close! They have there place in history
and the city's fondness for the memories but it's gotten old and tasteless.
And I've only lived here for... ? 16 years.

If you remembered the name of the place on 7th and Race I'd give it a try!

I also appreciate a good burger but can't outright recommend a place in
Philly.

I had a homemade buffalo burger bloody rare open faced on a toasted waffle
topped with a slice of provolone for breakfast that was pretty darn
excellent, imho.

A mild gout aggravation but so worth it!

Best,

Andy
