Cuisine

Philadelphia is home to a wide variety of foods that range from Philly originals to foods from around the world.

The most famous item of Philadelphia cuisine is, of course, the Philly Cheesesteak, which are always and forever good. A cheesesteak is a steak sandvich on an Amoroso roll topped with chopped onions and either Provolone, American, or mozzarella (if part of a pizza steak) cheeses or cheez-wiz. The 2 most famous places that serve cheesesteaks in Philadelphia are Pat's King of Steaks (the inventor of the cheesesteak), and the nearby Geno's Steaks.

Another popular component of Philadelphia cuisine is the hoagie sandvich, which is a long sandvich stuffed with various Italian meats, cheeses, and vegetables. The history of this sandvich is debated, but is is said to have been invented by Italian-American workers in Philadelphia's shipyards during World War II.
