Trust me, I'm am SO in the minority here in Philly because everyone LOVES them too!<br /><br />"And the owner of the restaurant claims that his cheesesteaks are just as good as the ones served in Philly because he used to live there."<br /><br />Oh, that is so cool!

In fact, whenever anyone comes to visit me the first thing they want to do is try a cheesesteak sandwich, so I take them to one of the famous hot spots!<br /><br /><br />Isn't the video funny?
