The Story Behind It

The Tale of Philly Cheesesteak

Story updated September 17, 2026

The Philly cheesesteak is credited to Pat and Harry Olivieri, hot dog vendors in South Philadelphia who, in the 1930s, grilled beef instead of hot dogs on a whim and found it caught on with customers. Their stand grew into Pat's King of Steaks, and the sandwich became a defining symbol of Philadelphia food culture.
