Philadelphia cuisine is not limited to cheese steak. In reality, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania is a mecca for original recipes and food dishes that have become so ingrained in the American culture, many people don't realize their origins or association with the City of Brotherly Love, as the locals call it. The city was founded by William Penn, who is the namesake for state of Pennsylvania.
Philadelphia or "Philly" is one of the oldest cities in the United States. It is the economic anchor to the area known as the "Delaware Valley" which is a valley through which the Delaware River flows.
If visiting Philadelphia, you must visit Independence Hall, where the Declaration of Independence was signed and which houses one of the original copies of the famous document. It also houses the famous cracked Liberty Bell which was rung during the first public reading of the Declaration of Independence.
In 2018 the local NFL Football team, the Philadelphia Eagles, made it to the LII Super Bowl Championship game to battle the New England Patriots. The Eagles have a huge local following and are loved by many.
Pretzels, especially soft pretzels are a staple to any Philadelphian and yellow mustard is always the condiment of choice. The Amish Mennonites are prevalent and run many businesses in the city. A lot of the food in Philadelphia has roots with the Amish and German cuisine.
Of course, if you really just love the Philly cheesesteak, then a must stop in Philadelphia is 9th Street in South Philly to either Pat's or Geno's. These are rival steak shops that operate directly across the street from each other. They even have their own language for ordering. Wit or Wit-Out (onions) and Wiz (with Cheez Wiz). Don't worry. There are signs that give directions for ordering.
This book is a collection of recipes that I feel best represent the spirit of Philadelphia. I hope that you enjoy!
