The cheesesteak sandwich, more commonly known as the Philly Cheese Steak,
hails from humble beginnings in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In 1930,
Italian immigrants Pat and Harry Olivieri opened a hot dog stand and
quickly grew tired of eating the dogs they served. One day, the men
bought some beef at their local grocery, sliced it and grilled with
onions. Just as the men were about to taste their creation, a cab driver
came by and insisted on trying the sandwich. Upon tasting it, he
advised the men to ditch the dogs and start selling their innovative
idea. Twenty years later, at the request of employees and customers,
cheese was added to the popular sandwich. Sales soared and culinary
history was made.
