The Story Behind Philly Cheesesteak

The Philly cheesesteak was born in 1930 when Pat Olivieri, a South Philadelphia hot dog vendor, grilled some beef and put it on an Italian roll. A passing cab driver asked for one, and the cheesesteak was born. Pat's King of Steaks and Geno's Steaks have faced each other across 9th Street for decades in the city's most famous rivalry.
