Local Philadelphia Fare to Try Out!

The crowning glory--well, not really--but it's popular enough that you should definitely try it if you're in Philly or anywhere within the vicinity. Of course, we're talking about Philadelphia's iconic cheesesteak.

This culinary treasure is simple enough. You just have to have thinly sliced beef (or chicken, especially if you want a kosher or halal option), grilled onions, and melted cheese. All nestled in a long hoagie roll.

While the most famous joints for cheesesteak--it's said--is between Pat's King of Steaks and Geno's Steaks, almost every local restaurant in Philly's got their own twist on the local classic.

The Culinary Diversity of Philly

While cheesesteaks are the first things that come to mind when mentioning Philadelphia fare, the city's culinary landscape is much wider and more varied than just that. And this is because--like most large cities in America--Philly's home to a diverse range of immigrant communities, who've each contributed to the local food scene, expanding Philly's flavors to include a plethora of international flavors.

Just to name a few, Philly is home to local Italian, Asian, and Latin cuisines.
