Belly Busters Sub Shoppes vs Tony’s of West Reading
2024 March Cheesesteak Madness
Delco + 6 Region – 1st Round match-up
A good match up between two reasons why the Delco Region became the Delco + 6 Region. It is getting easier to find very good cheesesteaks away from Philadelphia. If you watch Belly Busters contestant video you will see/hear why they are a great small town place. Tony’s of West Reading, winner of last year’s Judges bracket. Is West Reading becoming a culinary road trip destination?????
Centrella’s Deli & Italian Market vs Next Door Gastro-Pub & Restaurant
2024 March Cheesesteak Madness
Delco + 6 Region – 1st Round match-up
Two new March Cheesesteak Madness Entries. My first visit to Next Door Gastro-Pub Amigo Dan and I had a great time there. We sat at the bar. They made us a special grilled cheese cheesesteak. Great Fun. I think take-out cheesesteaks are not something they do. If I lived in Havertown and Centrella’s had a bar, ‘work from home’ would be ‘work from Centrella’s for me.
Delco Steaks vs Leo’s Steak Shop
2024 March Cheesesteak Madness
Delco + 6 Region – 1st Round match-up
This is a clash of champions. The 1st time I had Leo’s I called it a Cheesesteak’s Cheesesteak. Leo’s is a 2 times March Cheesesteak Madness People’s Champion. In last year’s 3rd round, Delco Steaks made what may have been the perfect cheesesteak. I’m so excited. Let’s get to the video.
Providence Pizza vs Steaks West Chester
2024 March Cheesesteak Madness
Delco + 6 Region – 1st Round match-up
Very good match up of 2 places I don’t think a lot people have been to. Great marketing by Providence’s Pizza. They put ‘World’s Best Cheesesteak’ on their sign. It got me to stop. Steaks’ customers got the word out on social media that there was a new Cheesesteak Sheriff in town. And now you know.
Lorenzo’s Steaks & Hoagies vs Desert Rose
2024 March Cheesesteak Madness
Delco + 6 Region – 1st Round match-up
This was a much better match up than everyone would think. Lorenzo’s Steaks & Hoagies is making a great name for himself in the Cheesesteak world. Desert Rose is known for her amazing Shawarma not cheesesteaks. Judge Phil is back with Judge Dave. Great commentary. Longer video at 4 minutes 23 seconds but I think it is worth the watch.
Pop’s Pizzeria vs Phil & Jim’s Steaks & Hoagies
2024 March Cheesesteak Madness
Delco + 6 Region – 1st Round match-up
This is a good Suburb old school vs the new kid on the block match-up. The relatively new owners at Phil & Jim’s are doing a great job of keeping the 70’s/80’s alive. Pop’s is new school cheesesteak cool. Pop’s is known for their pizza dough. The cheesesteak starts with a great seeded roll and….watch the video.
Michael’s Sandwich Shop vs Wolf’s Superior Sandwiches
2024 March Cheesesteak Madness
Delco + 6 Region – 1st Round match-up
A match up of 2 very good traditional cheesesteaks. Michael’s has been around since the late 70’s. I think the same people come in at the same time on the same day of the week and order the same thing since the ‘70’s. Michael’s always has a steady flow of regulars. I think Wolf’s is going to become my ‘special’ sandwich shop. The specials they have written on the chalkboard always read very tasty.
Marrone’s Deli vs The Ugly Oyster Drafthaus
2024 March Cheesesteak Madness
Delco + 6 Region – 1st Round match-up
This is the ‘If you know, you know’ match up. The people that know about these two places, love them. Marrone’s Deli proves that the most important part of a cheesesteak is the steak. At the Ugly Oyster yo can get peanuts on your cheesesteak. 75 cents extra. If you know, you know.
