while i can totally appreciate the humor of that picture, i'm pretty sure he doesn't make the best cheesesteaks in raleigh

6/8/2011 12:51:11 AM

the cheesesteak at Cloo's is excellent.

6/8/2011 12:51:48 AM

Wait, The E Man do you mean Jonnys moved to THE DINER on South Glenwood or they now have a diner on South Glenwood?

6/8/2011 12:55:23 AM

both andy's and penn station have pretty good cheesesteaks

6/8/2011 1:16:07 AM

I whole heartedly second Anvil's, seriously guys it is the shit. Folks in there are real nice too, tell them Justin sent ya!

6/8/2011 1:51:36 AM

Since all you so-called southerners like to be snobs about your BBQ, I'm gonna take this opportunity to go ahead and say that there are no good steak joints in Raleigh.

6/8/2011 7:22:36 AM

I am convinced that even if you teleported a cheesesteak from Philly and handed it to some cheesesteak snob living south of the Mason Dixon and didn't tell him/her that it was from up north, they'd still be like THIS ISN'T AS GOOD AS THE CHEESESTEAKS FROM PHILLY.

6/8/2011 7:31:32 AM

The same could be said for your alleged BBQ.

6/8/2011 7:41:49 AM

I'm no expert but by far my favorite is Cloos'.

6/8/2011 9:21:57 AM

I've had cheesesteaks in Philly- wasn't impressed... they weren't bad, but nothing to write home about. Same thing with buffalo wings from buffalo.

6/8/2011 9:23:52 AM

^ this. shit was unseasoned meat. no salt, no pepper. whole process was disgusting, too. so not impressed.

6/8/2011 9:26:28 AM

should be in cary, cause all them fuckers are from up north.

6/8/2011 10:13:12 AM

depends on where you go in philly.

the steaks at pats/jims/ginos are pretty garbage for the most part. for the bigger names, tony luke's is acceptable.

the best ones are in the little italian delis that are more a neighborhood hangout than anything.

6/8/2011 10:16:06 AM

The Cheese steak at Raleigh Chop House is pretty good.

6/8/2011 10:18:58 AM

i wouldn't like authentic philly cheesesteaks because i don't like american cheese/cheezwiz

I feel the same way. I like mine with provolone or mozzarella. I was really surprised to hear that authentic ones use cheese whiz or sauce.

6/8/2011 11:13:40 AM

I'm pretty sure it can be argued that provolone is just as authentic as the cheese whiz sauce.

6/8/2011 11:15:13 AM

if it's provolone then im all for it

6/8/2011 11:15:52 AM

IF YEW DONT LIKE AMURRICAN CHEESE THEN YOU KIN GET OUT

6/8/2011 11:16:33 AM

I was unaware that there were cheesesteaks without provolone

I'm AstralAdvent and i approved this message.

Fat Philys in Holly Springs

They have their bread shipped down from Philly and were the first in the area to have Tastykakes!

6/8/2011 11:22:53 AM

Allegedly Cloos' also gets their bread shipped from Philadelphia. I cannot verify this, but I will say the rolls they use are unlike anything else I've encountered, and quite tasty.

The website said they are now operating the jumpin johnnys menu out of the diner on glenwood south. They said it was better since they can have tons of menu items like onion wings and are open 24 hours a day.

jersey mike's cheese-steaks are pretty damn good

6/8/2011 12:25:38 PM

that's the hardest thing about living up near philly again... not to give in to temptation..

God I love me some cheesesteaks

6/8/2011 12:39:24 PM

that they are. try adding pepperoni, lettuce and tomato to one sometime (or at least pepperoni if u cant stand the thought of the lettuce and tomato)

100% incorrect. Based on the the actual ingredients itself, you don't get eastern style NC bbq anywhere else but here. You can get a philly style cheesesteak anywhere in the United States.


There are many different ways to prepare BBQ, not so much a cheese steak. That's why the BBQ debates get so retardedly heated.

6/8/2011 12:59:35 PM

horsehockey

the prime argument for or against eastern/western style in nc almost always correlates to where you happened to be born

6/8/2011 1:50:15 PM

^
Western Style BBQ vs Eastern BBQ- is apples and oranges or burgers and dogs, different product/ingredients

Cheese Steak in Philly vs Cheese Steak in Raleigh- same ingredients. Of course you can have places that prepare it better, but some fucker from Philly making a sandwich is no better at than a guy from anywhere else.

And yes I've been to Philly dozens of times and had non Genos/Pats steaks. They are delicious, but its the same stuff you get anywhere else that takes the time to do it right.

6/8/2011 2:14:06 PM

i've always enjoyed the monster cheesesteak at Ruckus

i don't like philly cheesesteaks, "wiz wit" and all that shit

i prefer a nicely toasted, quality bread with lettuce, tomato, mayo, sauteed onions, steak, provolone. if it's made correctly it's amazing. for some reason you can't find a decent one in the South, but those italians in Baltimore know how to make a good one.

[Edited on June 8, 2011 at 2:24 PM. Reason : there is a difference between a philly cheesesteak and a cheesesteak]

6/8/2011 2:23:50 PM

lettuce and tomato on a hot sandwich sucks

6/8/2011 5:20:53 PM

it's all cooked together...you don't put cold lettuce and cold tomato on it

6/8/2011 5:28:01 PM

warm lettuce sucks

6/8/2011 5:32:45 PM

I kinda want to make some cheese cakes now... I know this has nothing to do with this thread.

6/8/2011 5:33:12 PM

getting one at penn station right now actually

+ pepperoni

6/8/2011 5:33:30 PM

First time with the + pepperoni? Plz to report back either way

6/8/2011 5:38:14 PM

no, i get it with pepperoni every time

and it's orgasmic every time too

6/8/2011 5:46:56 PM

the answer is Phillies, in North Raleigh

/thread

6/8/2011 5:54:26 PM

our cheesesteaks at Ruckus are pretty fucking outstanding.

6/8/2011 6:05:33 PM

6/8/2011 6:05:58 PM
