Its ridiculous to call these things cheese steaks, and even more so to say that theyre better than cheese steaks. Although I grew-up in Philadelphia, Im not one to go so far as to say that the 215-area-code is the only place to get a good steak sandwich because while Tony Lukes and Pats and Genos and Jims and Lees and Mommas are meccas. White House in Atlantic City is great and even Papa Jakes all the way out in Los Angeles ranks up there in my book. HOWEVER, the sandwiches at BB only come one way (you dont even get a choice of cheeses), theyre on kaiser rolls instead of hoagie rolls, they throw a little bit of attitude into their service and they give you a wet-nap in the bag with your take-out order. Its worth the trek down the Jersey Turnpike to get a real cheese steak.
