Philadelphia Sandwich Company
7158 E 5th Ave
Scottsdale, AZ
For the most part, I have no regrets on most of my trips. After all, I am paid to travel to these locations! Sure, work is hard but, given that I have almost no attachments, it is more of a matter of enjoying the trip. And, in Scottsdale, while work was hard, I enjoyed the trip: My clients were really nice, the weather was nice, etc. etc. One of the few regrets I had on a previous trip, namely Philadelphia, was that I only tried one Philly cheesesteak place: Jim’s Steaks (blogged here). While I am not sure if I am glad or not for not visiting tourist spots (Geno’s Steak and Pat’s King of Steaks), it was rather the fact I did not have the time to go there. But, this time, in this trip to Scottsdale, I saw a small chance for redemption in the form of Philadelphia Sandwich Company.

Question: what dish/food is Philadelphia known for? Oh, yeah, cheesesteak! And, being in Philly, there was no way I would not stop to get some. The question was… Where? The initial thought was Pat’s King of Steaks or Geno’s Steaks – the two best known cheesesteak places, from an out-of-town person’s perspective. Unfortunately, we could only go to *one* due to timing (this is despite Pat’s and Geno’s are kitty corner). So, we had to ask, what is the perspective from somebody from Philly? After checking with some of the work colleagues, the conclusion was none! Actually, the suggestion in general was anywhere but Pat’s and Geno’s, as they are more “touristy”. In the end, after the arguments died down (sort of), a viable in-between, acceptable place was Jim’s Steaks.
