Idaho restaurant shatters the world record for the longest Philly cheesesteak, leaving the city of Philadelphia, where the iconic sandwich originates, in a state of pure awe and jealousy.
The restaurant, located in the humble town of Boise, Idaho, assembled a whopping 1,200-foot-long cheesesteak, surpassing the previous record of 905 feet set by Geno’s Steaks in Philadelphia back in 2011.
As expected, the people of Philadelphia were left speechless at the news. One resident, who wished to remain anonymous, stated, “I can’t believe a bunch of people in Idaho actually thought they could do better than us at making a Philly cheesesteak. I mean, how hard could it be?”
The restaurant’s executive chef, who spent months perfecting the recipe and assembling the massive sandwich, shrugged off the criticism, stating, “We just wanted to make the best cheesesteak we possibly could. Apparently, that’s not too hard to do. Sorry, Philly.”
The sandwich, which weighed in at over 3,000 pounds, was made with a staggering amount of classic cheesesteak ingredients, including thousands of slices of steak, countless slices of cheese, and enough onions and peppers to feed a small army.
The restaurant’s owner, Bob Johnson, even boasted that the sandwich was so large that it required the use of a forklift to move it.
Not to be outdone by their Idaho counterparts, residents of Philadelphia plan to take back the coveted title of “World’s Longest Cheesesteak” by assembling an even larger sandwich. “We’ll show them who the real cheesesteak masters are,” one resident declared. “Philly doesn’t mess around when it comes to our sandwiches.”
While the competition between Idaho and Philadelphia continues to heat up, one thing is for sure: the love for Philly cheesesteaks is universal.
The news of Idaho’s monumental achievement has sparked interest among sandwich lovers across the country. Tourists are now flocking to the small town of Boise, eager to try a slice of the record-breaking cheesesteak for themselves.
The restaurant’s phone has been ringing off the hook since the news broke, with people from all over the country calling to place orders for the world’s longest Philly cheesesteak.
In response to the sudden surge in popularity, the restaurant has announced that they will be partnering with local businesses to create a cheesesteak-themed festival in honor of their achievement.
As the rest of the country celebrates the longest Philly cheesesteak ever made, the city of Philadelphia remains stoic, determined to reclaim their title. Only time will tell if they can pull it off, but one thing is for sure: the world loves a good cheesesteak, no matter where it’s made.
