Pat's?????? Well known to be one of the worst places to get a cheesesteak in Philly. While they were the first they are nowhere remotely near the best. Next time you guys come to Philly go to any of the following for a cheesesteak:

John's Roast Pork - despite the name their cheesesteak has been the consensus best of Philly for awhile now. They are my personal favorite

Steve's Prince of Steaks

D'Alessandro's - In my neighborhood so very close and VERY VERY good
