Cheesesteak Showdown at Reading Terminal Market: A Foodie's Verdict
If you're a cheesesteak aficionado visiting Philadelphia, a trip to the iconic Reading Terminal Market is necessary. And here's a pro tip: take advantage of the two-hour parking deal at the adjacent garages – just remember to get your ticket validated inside the market after spending $10.
Recently, a group of friends, including yours truly, embarked on a "Cheesesteak Challenge" at the market. The results were captured in a hilarious video on YouTube featuring Carole and the Wilts.
As I carried the contenders back to our table, one thing was clear: the By George cheesesteak was a heavyweight champion. We initially feared the sesame seed bun might buckle under the pressure, but it held strong! This sandwich was packed with a generous portion of flavorful meat, a healthy dose of cheese (though perhaps not as melty as we'd hoped), and a generous assortment of toppings.
After a thorough taste test and heated debate, the verdict was unanimous: By George emerged victorious, earning the coveted title of "Best Cheesesteak in Reading Terminal Market."
So, if you're looking for a cheesesteak that will knock your socks off, head to Reading Terminal Market and experience the By George difference. Trust me, it's a decision you won't regret!
By George!
