Philly vs. Philly

No trip to Phillidelphia would be complete without trying to answer that age-old question:

Pat's or Ginos??

So, before our game we headed for Passyunk and 9th. The corner looks just like you would imagine it, with the two rivals facing each other across a sea of eager patrons. A parking place materialized in front of us, and (don't know if it was the 4th of July holiday, or just the Belove mojo) less than a half hour later we were faced with dueling piles of steaming meat and cheese ("wit-out") nestled in Hoagie rolls.

Heres's the Belove breakdown:

• Both were absolutely DELICIOUS!!!



• Neither one was remotely similar to anything we get on the West Coast called a "Philly Cheesesteak"



• Gino's is made from sliced prime rib, and was more tender. A subtle blend of the pure meat, cheese, and bread flavors.
  


• Pat's has more meat, a more flavorful roll, and had slightly more spice.



• There was really not a significant difference between them, and we would eagerly eat either one any day of the week!!

The clear winner of this game?

Philly!
