On National Cheesesteak Day, Philadelphia celebrated with eating contests and tours highlighting local cheesesteak spots.

On National Cheesesteak Day, various events honoring the Philly favorite took place. In 2007, Chaz Smith documented cheesesteak-making at local eateries. Philadelphia locals picked top cheesesteak spots, focusing on lesser-known favorites rather than tourist hotspots. Delco Steaks hosted a Cheesesteak Bowl eating contest, donating proceeds to charity. An Airbnb tour led by cheesesteak expert Jim offers a taste of Pat's, Geno's, and other Philly favorites, catering to New Jersey visitors.
