PHILADELPHIA – The sizzling competition has reached its peak! After weeks of intense matchups and thousands of votes cast, Philadelphia Cheesesteak Adventure’s 6th annual March Cheesesteak Madness tournament has arrived at the grand finale. Sixty-four contenders entered, representing the best of Philadelphia, Delaware County, New Jersey/Delaware, and the surrounding PA counties, but only two remain standing.
It’s Murray’s Bar & Grille from Delco facing off against Amato Bros, representing the NJ/DE region for ultimate cheesesteak supremacy and the coveted Cheesy Cup!
The Final Showdown:
This is the culmination of a regional quest led by cheesesteak guru Jim Pappas, who has tasted over 1,000 cheesesteaks in his search for the best. Both Murray’s Bar & Grille and Amato Bros have battled through five tough rounds, winning cheesesteak enthusiasts’ hearts (and votes) to reach this final stage. One represents the pride of Delaware County, and the other carries the banner for the potent cheesesteak scene across the river.
