It may not end the war between Geno's and Pat's but cheesesteak lovers will want to sample another local favorite, from the Philadelphia steakhouse Barclay Prime. In this upscale take on the classic, Kobe beef is substituted for top-round chuck and accompanied with butter poached lobster and shaved French black truffles.

As for the cheese, or "whiz wit," as they say in Philadelphia, that's melted Taleggio imported from Italy, a far cry from the standard provolone. The sandwich is served on a homemade brioche bun finished with house-made mustard, along with a small bottle of Veuve Clicquot champagne.
