Where to Find the Best Cheesesteak Sandwiches in Philadelphia

Philadelphia is the home of the Liberty Bell, the Declaration of Independence, and the Philly cheesesteak. Originated in 1930, the Cheesesteak took off when a local hot dog vendor, Pat Olivieri, grilled some chopped beef and added cheese. A taxicab driver noticed the enticing aroma and asked for a sandwich.
