Columbus Home of the Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich…

Friday, June 22nd, 2007

sandwich

There is another chain of Philly Cheese Steak sandwich chain from Central Ohio. This time Dublin Ohio is the home of Benny’s. The original is in Dublin and they’ve opened a second location in Huntington West Virginia.

Shhh! Keep it quiet that the best Philly Steaks come from Columbus Ohio… I can’t remember if I read it in Alive or The Other Paper but the best Philly Cheese Steak chains came from Columbus or are based in Columbus. Or maybe not the best Philly Cheese Steaks… but the best Philly Cheese Steak Restaurant Chains. It’s that darn business incubator at The Ohio State University…. they’re pumping out Philly Cheese Steak Restaurants…. Steak Escape and Charley’s Grilled Subs???

The business incubator at OSU may have nothing to do with Benny’s Cheesesteak.

“Charley’s Grilled Subs, headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, … Grilled Subs is best known for its made-to-order signature Philly Cheese Steak”

Wikipedia says of Steak Escape

“Steak Escape is a restaurant based in Columbus, Ohio, USA. It features cheesesteaks, fresh cut french fries, and lemonade. Locations are typically found in food courts in shopping malls as well as airports.”

buy a Steak Escape franchise? I know… I know they are chains… but they’re chains based in Columbus.

Benny’s Cheesteak has a quote

“better than the cheesesteak in Philadelphia - even at Gino’s.

The best pizza in in Columbus Ohio is in Philadelphia PA. Or is the best pizza in Philadelphia in Columbus, that’s the Columbus skyline
