Making the sucky suckier

Pat's & Geno's, probably two of the worst cheese steaks shops in the city, is doubling down.

 

Budweiser-infused cheese steaks.

That said, I do go to Pat's from time to time. It has to be after midnight and drinking heavily has to be involved. Then I go for the show and the **** steak sops up some alcohol.

IT'S time to rise up and burn those two down. i don't correct locals anymore when they ask where to get a good philly or philly cheesesteak and if  pats or genos is better. 

there's only one geno's for me...

I remember Gino's.  I must be old.  Think there was one less than 10 minutes from my grandmother's house back in the late 70s/early 80s.

they also 'came back' after being in franchise limbo about 8(?) years ago. if i recall, they had KFC chicken before KFC became a franchise. It was still called KFC but you could only get it at Gino's.

I remember that where I grew up as well.

There was a huge controversy in Newark, DE when they put the Gino's in on Main St. back in the 70's. They didn't want to ruin the look.

The Gino’s I went to growing up was on Rt 23 in Phoenixville.  Right next to the hospital.  Then it became a Roy Rogers and eventually Boston Market.  Not sure what’s there now.

Not sure.  I didn’t grow up there, but my Mom used to volunteer at a place in town.

If I’m not mistaken, that was Tony Luke’s.

I hate Budweiser. I get a banging headache if I walk too close to the cooler that contains them.

I used to like to go to Pat's as a kid, but I've generally moved on from them. I still have some nostalgia for the place, and it is kind of a historic landmark. The sandwhich is ok but small and way overpriced.


Geno's sucks donkey balls.
