📜 Lore

The cheesesteak was born from urban smelt and hoagie spells, cooked on iron griddles where blue collars meet the Divine Flame of Hunger. In Philly, it’s more than food — it’s an ancestral handshake. A loyalty oath. An edible contract sealed in sizzle and grease.

Two temples guard its core: Geno’s and Pat’s — rivals since the dawn of the bread split. And from their duel emerged legends — Cheesesteak Knights who carry onion-laced wisdom through the streets, passing truths in foil scrolls.
