The Great Philly Cheesesteak Road Trip




Fail. We drove two and a half hours for a cheesesteak or two or three. But circumstances beyond my control limited us to just two of the four stops we planned. Our first stop was Tony Luke's. Tony sits on East Oregon Avenue within sight of Citizens Bank Park and Lincoln Financial Field. We hit here at just the right time. There were only three groups in front of us so the ordering line was pretty short. The wait for food was probably 20 minutes. The line when we left (near noon) was long, barely in the door. The sandwich was very good. This was my first experience with the infamous "Cheesesteak Whiz". That would be a steak sandwich with Cheese Whiz. In redneck terminology it tastes like Hamburger Helper Cheeseburger Macaroni. Which isn't at all a bad thing. I do plan on hitting here again on our second attempt at the road trip. Tony Luke, Jr. was there at the table next to us talking to some of the patrons. Tomorrow... stop number two.
