I still say, the Philly boys at Corleone's on Mill street in Tempe has every other cheese steak place put to shame, hands down. They are from the East side, lived on grew up on and learned from the originals back in philly. THey keep to the traditionals and it's the only place I've been to that you can walk up to the counter ask for what you want like you were in philly, and they know what you want.
There were four cheesesteak joints on mill before they showed up, and they are the last one standing, That says something.
( ever notice that every type of sandwichable food is a manfood? BBQ....Cheesesteak, sausages.....)
