Philadelphia doesn\u2019t need much encouragement to debate cheesesteaks, but National Cheesesteak Day is offering a structured way to do it.<\/p>\n
A free, live competition this Tuesday (March 24) in Northeast Philadelphia will bring together more than 10 local spots for a fan-voted showdown. The event runs from 4 to 6 p.m. at a Metro by T-Mobile store on Cottman Avenue.<\/p>\n
Restaurants including Pat\u2019s King of Steaks, Del Rossi\u2019s, Woodrow\u2019s, Campo\u2019s and Cleaver\u2019s will serve samples, giving attendees a chance to compare styles and cast a vote for their favorite. Judges will also select an \u201cUltimate Cheesesteak Champion,\u201d with a $1,000 prize going to the winner.<\/p>\n
Roxy Romeo of Power 99 will host the event, which also includes music, giveaways and appearances from local food personalities.<\/p>\n
The full lineup of participants includes Del Rossi\u2019s, Skinny Joey\u2019s, Pat\u2019s King of Steaks, Woodrow\u2019s, Cafe Carmela, Campo\u2019s Philly Cheesesteak, Cleaver\u2019s, Stella\u2019s, Verona Pizza, LaNova and Lucatelli\u2019s.<\/p>\n
For a city that rarely agrees on what makes the perfect cheesesteak, putting several in one place is likely to settle little \u2014 but it may still draw a crowd.<\/p>\n
