The Philly Steak: Pat's King of Steaks, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Pat and Harry Olivieri ran a run-of-the-mill hotdog stand until one day in 1933, when they were in the mood for something different for lunch. Digestive inspiration took over, and they thinly sliced and grilled some cheap steak and onions, put it in a roll, and sold it for 10 cents to a nearby cabbie who smelled the goodness cooking. The Philly Steak was born. Before long they'd stopped with the hot dogs altogether, started using rib eye-only, added cheese, and opened a brick-and-mortar.
When you go: Although Pat's offers a variety of cheeses, if you want yours served in the most iconic way possible, order it "Whiz wit" -- topped with Cheese Whiz and onions.
