Word up, G. Since I have never experienced the Philly cheesesteak, I cannot compare - but I did hit a really good cheesesteak somewhere around here. They are apparently a place that has a shop open in Philly, but I don't remember their name. Friend of mine and I went there for lunch one day. It was pretty tasty. And yes, the bread was great.
The guy downstairs in our cafeteria also makes what I consider to be a pretty tasty cheesesteak. It's not the best one I've ever had, but it beats a hot dog any day of the week
