GENOS
PATS
PATS or
GENOS? Who makes the best cheesesteak in Philly? The debate
rages on. Below is the Tale
of the Tape (or should I say
the Tale of the Steak). Pictures on left is PATS, pictures on right is
GENOS.
My taste tested was conducted using the classic toppings
(cheese wiz and onions).
Bread:
Pats and Genos both use soft
rolls of equal length - TIE
Onions:
Pats onions
perfectly cooked with mild onion flavor. GENOS had strong onion
flavor and barely cooked.
Advantage
PATS
Cheese Wiz:
Both were
adequate and complemented the meat well - TIE
Meat:
Portion was bigger
from PATS and the meat was chopped up more fine. Both were equally
tender.
Advantage
PATS
Price:
Both were $7 at
time of test - TIE
Dining area:
GENOS has more
room to sit down. PATS looked a liittle older and more runned down -
Advantage
GENOS.
Friendliness of Staff:
Who
cares - it's all about the cheesesteak - TIE
OVERALL WINNER:
slight edge to PATS
.....just one person's
opinion
GENOS
PATS
