My Vision Quest for the Ultimate Cheesesteak!
The Ultimate Cheesesteak? What does it come with?

happy memory
I have eaten and reviewed over 1,200 different cheesesteaks. I score them using my 5 category 100 point scoring system.
The 5 categories are;
- Roll
- Meat
- Cheese
- Extras
- Overall
I believe price and amenities add or distract from the overall cheesesteak eating experience. I keep track of the cheesesteaks I’ve eaten, their scores, and my notes on a 36-column spreadsheet. Each review has a 3ish minute video on my YouTube Channel; The Cheesesteak Life. Right or Left Brain, I got you covered.
Here’s my latest review:
Worlds collided on Cheesesteak Tour Stop #1268 — and I was the lucky one in the middle! This time, we hit up Vi Va Pizza, a killer food truck parked inside Love City Brewing

How do I like my cheesesteak?
- Roll – I want the roll to be M&M’esque. Crispy crust and light airy bread inside. I don’t want to bite my cheesesteak and everything shoots out the back.
- Meat – I want a slightly thicker slice so I can taste the meat. Chopped and tender enough so I don’t have to wrestle with it.
- Cheese – Melted and touching everything. Touching not coating.
- Extras – Fried onions have to add flavor but not overpower anything. A good mushroom adds good flavor to good steak. Lately, I have been getting just fried onions.
- Overall – I like parking, sitting inside, a bathroom and an adult beverages.
