Sports radio talk show host Glen Macnow is every Philly sports fan’s soul mate. He’s smart, he’s likeable, he’s engaging, and best of all, he’s passionate about our sports teams and our favorite Philly foods.

When he is not broadcasting from the Tastykake Studio at 610 WIP, Glen is out with his undercover posse hunting for Philly’s best eats. Having completed thorough searches for the area’s top burgers, ribs and pizza in years past, Glen set his sights on the ultimate challenge – discovering its best cheese steaks.

Thus began Glen Macnow’s Ultimate Cheesesteak Challenge.

Defying common sense and every cardiologist on the planet, Glen and his crew pledged to sample 40 cheese steaks in 40 days. Not only did they meet the challenge, they exceeded it – 45 cheese steaks in 45 days!

We are pleased that Glen used CheeseSteakTown.com as a resource, and that he visited nearly all the great steak places our website visitors have touted, enjoying most of them tremendously.

Glen’s Top 10:

#1 John’s Roast Pork
#2 Steve’s
#3 Chink’s
#4 Talk of the Town
#5 Grey Lodge Pub
#6 Slack’s Hoagie Shack
#7 Sonny’s
#8 Tony Luke’s
#9 White House
#10 Dalessandro’s

The Ultimate Cheesesteak Challenge ended with a “playoff round” at Paddy Whack’s Irish Pub on South Street, featuring the Top 6. John’s Roast Pork won both the “Judges’ Choice” award and the “Listeners’ Choice” award for Philly’s #1 cheese steak, with Chink’s finishing a close second.

Great work, Glen. Care for some Tums?
