"Philadelphia is known as the city of brotherly love. But that love can be tested when it comes to sports rivalries - also when it comes to the ingredients that make a cheese steak great. Recently, the Michelin Guide honored three cheesesteak joints in the city. Food critics pounced on the judges, but reporter Buffy Gorrilla found nothing but love for the vibrant cheesesteak scene."
"If you haven't heard of the Bib Gourmand, you are not alone. JACK MCGONGAL: What's that? JAKE CARVALHO: I've not heard of it, but I think, without a doubt, they're worthy of that award. GORRILLA: Well, Jack McGongal and Jake Carvalho, the Michelin Guide's Bib Gormand highlights places that serve quality food at reasonable prices. New Jersey native Carvalho loves a cheese day. After driving 10 hours from North Carolina, he made a detour to get one laden with onions and peppers from his favorite spot, Dalessandro's."
Three Philadelphia cheesesteak shops received Michelin Guide Bib Gourmand recognition, prompting criticism from some food writers and enthusiasm from many customers. Dalessandro's in Roxborough opens its windows early amid the smell of meat and onions and serves sandwiches with fresh-sliced ribeye and sharp American cheese. Many patrons emphasize that the bread determines a great cheesesteak; common condiments include mayonnaise, fried onions, ketchup, pickles and mustard. The Bib Gourmand designation recognizes establishments offering quality food at reasonable prices. Devoted fans travel long distances, including a ten-hour drive, to eat at favored cheesesteak spots.
