I don't remember the first time I ate a cheesesteak. I just remember I've always eaten them. More than likely, ever since my father, the hero, let me try a cheesesteak for the first time before the age of 3.
I'd like to believe I have become a connoisseur of this sandwich. Which, much like myself, was born in Philadelphia. So maybe there's an extra slice of bias, but that's ok. I like my cheesesteaks the way I like them.
I thought I've had all the best cheesesteaks. Recently I had one in Germantown, where the bread tasted like it came out of the oven 20 minutes ago. At that point in my life, that was easily in my top 5. I won't list out my top 5 here. But I want to talk about Sum Pig.
I walked out of this place with the heaviest cheesesteak I've ever held. There is a video of me sliding out of my chair after the first bite. I split this cheesesteak with a friend of mine. He fell to the ground as well. I was waiting until the video was ready to post this review, but for now, I'll just give you a lure.
Side note, I made the first metaverse cheesesteak. I made this cheesesteak with pride. I know my stuff. Sum Pig made this cheesecake with magic. I'll put this cheesesteak up against anybody's. And will absolutely go on record to say this is the greatest cheesesteak I've ever had. I, the connoisseur of cheesesteaks, am saying this is the greatest cheesesteak.
There will be video reviews on my YouTube channel but for now, just know, if you haven't had this cheesesteak from Sum Pig, stop reading and order one now.
Consider transportation for a moment. If all cheesesteaks were skateboards, and I love skateboards, Sum Pig's cheesesteak is...
Read moreBeen wanting to try this place out for awhile. Ordered a roast pork sandwich, cheesesteak, and the buffalo chicken nachos. The roast pork is the best roast pork sandwich I've had outside of the city. Easily on par with DeNic's, John's, Shanks, etc. Honestly, I think it might be the best, in my opinion. The pork jus just has that love in it. The cheesesteak was legit, too, though it was a bit salty. I'd still get it again, unless the saltiness is a trend. Both sandwiches were hefty and on seeded rolls. The nachos were also on point. Real fresh in-house nachos. The buffalo chicken reminded me of chicken tinga with a spicy rojas salsa. Was not like getting pizza place buffalo chicken thrown on whatever. I'm definitely hitting this place back up to try some of their other stuff. Seriously can't get over the roast pork. So hard to find some good roast pork here in the 'burbs. Now, if only I could find a good Halal chicken...
Read moreI ordered online the transaction was easy. When I arrived at their store front I was greeted by the owner Steve. He was very customer friendly. We talked while the order was finishing up.
The storefront is next to a local train station so it's very convenient. There was a nice area with benches to sit. Luckily it wasn't cold out that day.
The cheese steak was absolutely spot on phenomenal. They use a whole pound of meat per cheese steak. I definitely could not finish the whole thing so I took half home and ate it later for dinner.
What surprised me was how well the bread held up holding that much meat. Also I noticed on the menu there were a lot of custom options on how you might like your cheese steak which is good because not everyone likes traditional. Some want options no matter how weird it might be.
Overall these guys at SumPig are 5 stars and are a force to be reckoned with for the best cheesesteak in...
