The one to order

The cheesesteak on Angelo's own seeded roll, with fried onions and American

The line to expect: A long line and takeout only most days. Beat it: order ahead online.

25 min, plus 30 min freezing the beef · 2 cheesesteaks. Rib-eye shaved paper thin, cooked fast on a hot pan with onions, and cheese melted into it right before it goes into a soft-but-sturdy roll. Freezing the beef briefly is how you slice it thin at home.
