Which whiz it?

Let’s put your skills to the test.

We all know cheesesteaks are best enjoyed at 2 a.m., which is why recognizing your favorite shop while blurry eyed (i.e. drunk) is an incredibly important skill for any respectable Philadelphian. So, let’s put those skills to the test.

We’ve taken 10 signs of local cheesesteak joints, as illustrated by Hawk Krall for our cheesesteak bracket, and put them behind beer goggles (a slight blur). Good luck wit it.

    Wow. I bet you put marinara on your cheesesteak, huh?

    Not bad, but could be better. Are you even from Philly?

    Respectable. We should live up to the rudest city reputation and roast you now, but we’ll let this one pass.

    Nice! Permission to brag to your friends: granted.

    As perfect as that first bite of cheesy, melty goodness. Great job!
