The Best Cheese Steak in Chester County

The owners of The Westtown Butcher Shop and Deli were in for a pleasant surprise this morning when they opened shop. Why? Because greeting them on their doorstep was a five foot tinfoil covered dome with 10 paper mache yak horns protruding from it. In the middle of the tinfoil, the words "BEST CHEESESTEAK IN CHESTER COUNTY" were taped.

THAT BLUE YAK janitor Willie B. Phelps explains:

That is correct, they've won the best cheesesteak in the area award. Many cheesesteak were sampled before this coveted award was declared. The roll has has the perfect fluffiness. The meat is rib eye. Very classy. Everything about it is perfect.

Be prepared though if you're planning to eat there because there are no tables. You can bring your own bucket and use it as a seat, but I don't think they encourage that because they were looking at me funny the whole time.

To get there, if you're leaving West Chester on High Street, pass the Parkway Shopping Center and take a right, right before Stetson.

And of course, ENJOY.

John's Pizza in Frazer - Best Cheesesteak Indeed

John's Pizza in Frazer, PA - perhaps the best cheesesteak in Chester County. My order was a large cheesesteak, fried onions and extra cheese. The cheesesteak is enormous as seen by the scale of the chapstick to cheesesteak in this picture.

The meat is great and the rolls are perfect - so light and airy. In fact, the roll is so light that a 15" cheesesteak goes down very easily. John's has also been written about in Conde Naste magazine and won Channel 10's "Golden Spoon" award - whatever the hell that is.

My recomendation is to sit at the counter so you can watch the show. By the show, I mean the arguing between the older John and the younger John. Everytime I've been there, the two are arguing in Italian. It's so good, that when you return from the bathroom you'll ask your friend, "What did I miss?"

John's is located on Route 30 in Frazer right past the home depot. I highly recommend it. The phone number is (610) 647-4297. If you call in for pickup, be sure to ask how long until the order will be ready. The older John will say, "You just come in, it'll be here."
