To Philly....

Yesterday, the Philadelphia Phillies won The World Series against the Tampa Bay Rays in 5 games. The Phillies broke the City of Brotherly Love's championship drought, being the first major league team to win one since the '83 76ers. But great competition and rivalry has existed in Philly for a while, in the form of the Philly Cheesesteak. Sure you've had a form of the sandwhich in one way or another, but Philly's the place to get it. The original does not have provolone cheese or onions, just thinly sliced ribeye and Cheez Whiz - that's right, Cheez Whiz. Like the battle of the Ray's in New York City for pizza, the cheesesteak has locals and tourists going for the best in Philly. The two heavyweights are Geno's and Pat's. Pat's invented the sandwich, but Geno's claims to get the more celebrities as well as a better sandwich. Here's a clip about the shops, located across the street from each other:
