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.....)

Stop there tonight on the way home from work. Cheesesteak was good, owner and help were very friendly. Don't understand what the benefit of shipping the meat in from Philly, other than an added expense. Beef is available here in Arizona. And the bottom line to it all was a very good cheesesteak was devoured my myself. Well worth the stop.

I'd say the best Luke's is in Tucson. That's the father that started it all. Next would be the one at 16th street and Indian School, and then the Scottsdale location. And then again we're not talking about cheesesteaks. Luke's is Italian Beef, Polish, and Hot Dogs.

The last time I ate at Luke's at the Airpark there were dead roaches in the hallway by the bathroom. My son was grossed out. I pointed out that he should be more concerned it they were alive. It didn't convince him. ;)

Al's Beef is close by. It's revered in Chicago, but I haven't tried them out yet.

I wasn't that impressed with the Scottsdale venue. Felt they were just cashing in on the name. But, I can even drive passed Tucson without hitting the original Luke's.

There's a new place called Gino's at 32nd St and Thunderbird that looks pretty good.  There's a lot on the menu and the cheesesteaks look real.  I keep meaning to try it and just haven't gotten around to it.
