Anthony Bourdain's Favorite Cheesesteak
Anthony Bourdain called Philly the "center of the cheesesteak universe," but to him, the best cheesesteak in the area came from Donkey's Place, in Camden, New Jersey. Opened in 1943 by Olympic heavyweight boxing champion, Leon Lucas, Donkey's Place specializes in the New Jersey Cheesesteak. Unlike its Philly cousin, this cheesesteak is served on a round poppyseed kaiser roll, with American cheese, sizzling steak, and browned onions. Be prepared to unleash your inner glutton, you might not be able to stop at just one of these sandwiches. Maybe it's sacrilegious to say that the best cheesesteaks aren't from Philly, but when was anything this good not a bit sinful?

These sandwiches are amazing. They are packaged very well with super easy instructions for reheating and building the sandwiches. The portions are big too! Definitely the best cheesesteak I’ve ever had.

Delicious! I have tried several cheesesteaks from Philly through Goldbelly and I have to say this is at the top. I like the fact that the steak is heated separately and then applied to the bun. Perfect-o!!!

My order was received in great condition, the food was packed well and stayed cold so nothing was spoiled. The instructions for preparation were enclosed, but I found I needed to alter those instructions slightly in order to enjoy the sandwich as authentic as possible. I'm born and raised from Philly so I know the routine. I know the steak is sliced very thin, so the portion was stuck together. I put the steak in the pan on low heat to separate the steak ( as a chopped appearance). I then took the saute' onions in a separate pan heated them up, then added the 2 together raised the heat a little. I took 1 slice of the cheese and as the directions put it on the bottom portion of the sliced round roll, the I took 2 slices of the cheese and melted into the onion & steak mix. Placed it on the roll, AND WENT IN. *IT WAS GREAT * !!!!!
I choose the Cheesesteak from "Donkeys" because it was a little different that the traditional steak on the long roll. Everything was fresh
