Philadelphia, PA—Cheesesteak lovers, rejoice! The electrifying 2024 March Cheesesteak Madness results are in, and this year's People's Choice Cup belongs to a surprise contender: Amato Bros. in Oaklyn, New Jersey.
This beloved hoagie shop, a 14th seed in the New Jersey/Delaware region, defied expectations and bested the fierce competition, including betting out Delco's favorite Lorenzo's Steaks & Hoagies to secure the ultimate cheesesteak bragging rights.
Amato's journey to cheesesteak glory began in 1982 when Mike Amato purchased his first deli in South Philly. His dedication to quality ingredients and family-style service fueled their success, propelling Amato Bros. into a regional favorite.
The Winning Cheesesteak:
Amato Bros. doesn't skimp on their signature sandwich. Their monster cheesesteak starts with a full pound of hand-sliced ribeye (or chicken, for those who prefer). Melty cheese, their house blend of seasonings, and perfectly cooked onions come together on a fresh Deluca's seeded roll for a bite that won over the hearts (and stomachs) of cheesesteak enthusiasts across the region.
This victory isn't just about a delicious sandwich. It's a testament to the passion, hard work, and commitment to quality that have been Amato Bros' staples for decades. And for cheesesteak fans, it's a reminder that hidden gems can often pack the most prominent flavor punch.
Congratulations to Amato Bros. on their well-deserved win! PhillyBite Magazine and the Philadelphia Cheesesteak Adventure thank all participating shops and the legions of passionate fans who made this year's March Cheesesteak Madness unforgettable.
