The great Philly cheesesteak was chosen as Roadfooders’ favorite beef sandwich in the Roadfood.com poll that just ended. It’s hard to resist that combination of drippy cheese, well-cooked onions, and cheap but beefy tasting meat on a fresh, chewy roll. The cheesesteak has become something of a national sandwich over the last few years, hasn’t it? You can pretty much find it wherever hot subs are sold in this country but, for our money, we still only order one in the Delaware Valley. Just never seems right to us elsewhere. The French Dip pops up away from the Pacific coast but you rarely see an Italian beef outside of Chicagoland. Will Italian beef be the next big breakout sandwich?
