A Brief History of the

Philly Cheesesteak

The Philly Cheesesteak is a legendary sandwich that originated in Philadelphia in the 1930s. According to local history, Pat Olivieri, a hot dog vendor, decided to grill some beef and place it on an Italian roll. A passing taxi driver caught a whiff of the sizzling meat and asked for one himself. Word spread quickly, and soon, Pat’s sandwich became a local sensation.

A Brief History of the Spud

The potato, or "spud," has been a comfort food favorite for centuries. Originally cultivated by the Incas in the Andes Mountains over 7,000 years ago, potatoes made their way to Europe in the 16th century and quickly became a global staple. Thanks to their versatility, spuds have been transformed into countless dishes, from crispy fries to creamy mashed potatoes.

One of the most satisfying ways to enjoy a spud? Load it up! Baked potatoes became popular in the U.S. in the early 20th century, and before long, people began piling them high with butter, cheese, sour cream, and more. Today, loaded spuds are the ultimate indulgence—crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and packed with bold flavors.
