Fat Sandwich

Deep within the campus of Rutgers in New Brunswick, NJ lies 5 trucks parked in an empty lot which serve food.  They are called the Grease Trucks and are famous in NJ for their sandwiches, called fat sandwiches.  There are many sandwiches they serve like the fat cat, fat Sam, fat Darrel, fat bitch, and many many others.  They have meat, french fries, ketchup lettuce and all the other components of a meal stuffed into a sandwich.

Pat’s Cheese Steak

In Philadelphia, the home of the cheese steak, Pat’s is revered as one of the best.  They serve their steaks, wit or wit-out (with or without onions) and with provolone, cheez-wiz or american cheese.  It is considered by most to be the best of the best.

Geno’s Steaks

Across the street from Pat’s is Geno’s, the other contender for best in Philly.  They have a fierce rivalry, with loyalists to each never even considering eating at the other.  The main difference between the two besides standard variation is that Geno’s uses whole slices of steak while Pat’s cuts up their steak.  There is no denying that these two places have the best cheese steaks in Philadelphia, and the reason you must try both is to decide which is your favorite.

Primanti Brothers Sandwich

Like the grease trucks,  Primanti brothers stuffs a whole meal onto a sandwich.  They put fries and their signature coleslaw on the sandwich, along with cold cuts and whatever else you order.  Their coleslaw is supposed to be some of the best and their meat unparalleled.  Located in Pittsburgh, they have a history and have expanded to 7 locations.
