Cheesesteak City TV is a documentary and social media channel dedicated to covering the shops and families that make up the unique fabric of Philadelphia. Our primary thesis is that there A LOT of really good cheesesteak spots in Philly, and perhaps spending too much time trying to find “The Best” might be missing the point…
