Neither Pat's Nor Geno's: Saturday Beefcake Late Night Treat
A Philly Steak Sandwich is the culinary snack that has put Philly on the map, so to speak. The sandwich in all its forms was put forth by Pat's "King of Steaks" and then Geno's. Both places face each other at the intersection of Ninth and Wharton Sts. Passyunk Ave crosses in there somewhere as well. Pat's and Geno's by no means make the best philly steak sandwiches. Phil's on South Street used to have that distinction. What made Pat's and Geno's distinctive was the diversity of the congregation of late night eaters who made it there after the bars closed or after other events in their lives. What follows is an upscale version of the downtown Philly treat. Something you can make at home and consume there for some restoration after other late night treats.
