South St & 4th St. South: Jim’s Steak. 4 hours to find the countries best Philly Cheese Steak. On my way to Germany I was laid over for a few hours. Every city I visit I make a point to find the best "soul food" of the people. I scrambled out of the airport and ask the first local I could find "Cheese Steak?" , "Jim's... since 1939!" The photo is Jim’s Philly cheese steak with sweet peppers and American cheese! Deeply satisfied!

South St & 4th St. South: Jim’s Steak.
Along with the fifty other people standing outside I waited 45 minutes to enter the insanely famous Philly cheese steak establishment. Soon enough I realized that there were another fifty people waiting on the inside. This is outside looking in through the South street window at Jim’s Steak “… since 1939!” Patrons wide eyed and slack jawed stare as another massive side of beef is laid by the man at the beginning of one cheese steaks journey. Right to left the meat is fried gradually on the massive cooktop. Orders are taken, meat and bread come together, condiments are place and beverages are ordered. The staff is a very serious faced group until words are exchanged and slick jokes are offered. The whole experience is a great showing.
