Philadelphia may have been known for years for its historical significance to the US, but the thing that put it on the map was not a major event, but a sandwich, and apartment-ites can't call themselves Philadelphians until they've tried a Philly Cheesesteak. With a stall selling them around every corner, how can you find which place serves up the best in town? Why not go with the one that started it all, Pat's King of Steaks, where they're serving up some of the best cheesesteaks in town, with some of the biggest celebrities in the world stopping by for a bite. Pat's started as a simple hot dog stand at the base of Philadelphia's Italian Market, where one day he decided to try something different for lunch, so put some chopped steak on to an Italian roll and mixed in some onions. What resulted would take the world by storm, and become one of the most famous foods in the United States, making the Philly a household name all around the world. Pat's is still serving them up, just like they used to, chopped steak, cheese and onions, and it remains one of the best places in town to grab a sandwich. If a cheesesteak isn't quite your thing, you can try one of their other varieties, such as the pizza steak, the mushroom steak, or the pepper steak. Wash it down with a nice soda, or add on a side of french fries of cheese fries to make the perfect meal. When it comes time to bite into your first cheesesteak, make sure you choose the very best. Pat's King of Steaks is a Philadelphia institution, and since 1930 has been serving Philadelphians the best in sandwiches, so apartment-ites seeking to get a real taste of Philly need only take a trip down and bite into the food that's made the city famous.
