We've called several different states home, but my husband and I are both originally from outside Philadelphia. The city's cheesesteak hype is legit, friends.
As seventh-year Virginians, we've worked relentlessly on an at-home version of our cherished cheesesteaks and have nailed it.
As a chef, I'd love to take credit, but alas — it's Philly's own Amoroso's hearth-baked rolls that make my recipe a dead ringer. They also hold up to saucy meatball melts and can serve as the base for mini garlic-bread loaves.
