=== Key Differences ===

While both serve authentic Philadelphia cheesesteaks, there are notable differences:

'''Meat Preparation'''
* Pat's: Finely chopped beef mixed together on the grill
* Geno's: Thinly sliced beef, kept in distinct strips

'''Cheese Distribution'''
* Pat's: Cheese melted throughout the chopped meat
* Geno's: Cheese melted on top of sliced meat

'''Bread'''
* Both use Amoroso rolls, but preparation differs slightly

'''Atmosphere'''
