    Next trip you have to hit the actual top 3 in Philly (if you haven’t already) Angelo’s, John’s Roast Pork and Cafe Carmela. Good call on Woodrow’s, very underrated and always been in my top 5

      Angelo's, and John's Roast Pork was on the list to try unfortunately we were in Philly for business and had limited time on our last day to try and knock out all the steaks we could try on our last day in Philly. Beautiful city and very nice people. Maybe we only saw a part of the city but, we have no idea why people would think this city is dangerous. We loved our time in Philly, and we are looking forward to going back to the same convention next year so we can try the two places we missed on our list plus the Cafe Carmela that we our glad you could add to our list for next time.

      The line was crazy long, but it took about 25 minutes for a full turnaround. We ordered and got our sandwiches really fast.
      Dalessandro's steaks are a must try place. The only reason they are not my favorite steak and cheese is that just the bread was a little mushy and falling apart. It's still a solid choice all day every day.

    Man, as a cheesesteak connoisseur from south Philly, you guys truly missed the best spots! Ishkabibbles stinks!! Dallasandros is the most popular of the spots you tried but a lot of us feel it’s the most overrated.
    John’s Roast Pork and Angelo’s blow all these places away .. not even close.
    And BTW the Fresh Prince song it’s “from West Philadelphia” not south. You guys were pretty close to the playground where the opening basketball court scenes were filmed and still looks the same (Clemente Playground)

    • @meltonsonthemove
      @meltonsonthemove  Před měsícem

      Wish we had known where the filming location was. The wife even said to me it was "West" Philadelphia when I mentioned we should start the next clip with the Fresh Prince song. I was like I know what the song says but, we are in South Philly, and it will make people comment, lol. John's and Angelo's where on the list to try but, we had limited time as we were in Philly for work, and they got cut due to time. They are on the list for next year. Thanks for watching and letting us know we have to go to these places next year.

    isabibbless cheesesteak has the most underrated cheesesteak in Philadelphia. BTW you know they have 2 locations on south street and Jim's is now open and its better then ever. Lastly agree your wife, chicken Philly cheesesteaks are better then the regular Philly cheesesteak.

    • @meltonsonthemove
      @meltonsonthemove  Před 4 měsíci

      We will be back next year for the same convention we went to this year. We were so sad we did not get a chance to try Jim's we had watched so many videos on their subs.
      You know it man I "Michael" 100% ranked Isabibbless my favorite in Philly so far. We will have to give their second location a try for sure next time.
      If you have never tried the Jay's Steaks that is a little outside of Philly link is in our discretion below that Chicken Philly with the onion something cheese was really that good. I played it down in the video just because we are doing a Philly steak review. It is a must try.
      Thanks for letting us know Jims is back open. We look forward to enjoying your city again next year. It is a very beautiful and welcoming city in our experience. We could not understand why you guys get a bad rap in public opinions. Five stars highly recommend, and we think it truly is the city of brotherly love. Now I am probably going to get hated on for this next part. This is coming from two Dallas Cowboy fans, lol.
