Still searching for that great tasting Philly Cheesteak. Have tried so many out here in California and in Oregon, etc., and can not find a single one that can compare to ones I had back East.
The skinny sandwiches you get from the Philly Cheesteak Shop can not come close to comparing with the 'real ones'. l do get the largest ones they have there, but.... There are places all over the Bay area, etc., that sell cheesteak, but they are not even 1/4 as delicious as those back East. I have tasted quite a number at festivals and fairs and some of them aren't really too bad.
Here's a link which describes many of the Philly Cheesteak shops around the country.
I've been to Amato's in San Jose and theirs are pretty decent, but not the greatest!! Quite a while back (1980's) there was a place located at the World Famous Farmer's Market in Los Angeles that served up the 2nd best Philly Cheesteak I've ever had. Each time we went to LA we always picked up some. However, it shut down. Too bad. I'd drive 380 miles for a cheesteak as good as that one!!!!
