A taste test of six fast-food chains' Philly cheesesteaks, ranked from worst to best. This article focuses on a specific chain, The Firehouse Subs, and its attempt to replicate the classic Philly cheesesteak.
As you travel from one region of the country to the next, you’ll come to find that each state and even city has its own specialty cuisine. In Louisiana–and, more specifically, New Orleans–restaurants and households are cooking up dishes of Cajun and Creole influence like jambalaya or gumbo. Mainers are all about their lobster rolls, oysters, and other seafood, and in Chicago, deep-dish pizza reigns supreme. But, in Philadelphia , it's the cheesesteak sandwich that's a point of culinary pride.
This iconic sandwich is made with thinly sliced steak, melted cheese, and optional other ingredients, all sitting on a long hoagie-style roll. It’s savory. It’s filling. And, it’s become so popular that it's spread to nearly every national sandwich chain you can think of, and even to regional chains that have absolutely no ties to Philly whatsoever. Of course, each Philly cheesesteak recipe looks slightly different from the last as each establishment attempts to put their own spin on the classic. Being a fan myself, I set out to find the absolute best fast-food chain rendition out there–the one best suited to satisfy those juicy cravings and do Philadelphia proud. I tried six of them and ranked them from my least favorite to the absolute best. Let’s see which chains are all sizzle and no steak and which are the beefiest. The Firehouse isn’t afraid to turn up the heat with its own sizzling versions of your favorite subs. From a Pepperoni Pizza Meatball creation to its Spicy Cajun Chicken, nothing is off limits. The shop similarly takes you on a journey to the great city of Philadelphia with its Firehouse Steak and Cheese. The sandwich is loaded up with sauteed steak, melted provolone cheese (and tons of it gauging by the picture on the chain’s website), caramelized onions, green bell peppers, mayonnaise, and deli mustard–an intriguing addition certainly unique for a Philly. I paid $6.99 for the small size, although both mediums, larges, and combo meals are also availabl
