Quotes

"First stop is Benny the Butcher. We're in Camden. Now this is a Philly cheese spot. It was found by the cameraman. I must admit, I've never had a Philly cheesesteak, and I've even been to Philadelphia."

"Right, so this is the Philly cheesesteak. There's a bit of bread, steak, cheese sauce, coriander, and onions as well. This is loaded. £11.50, by the way. No queue, didn't have to wait. So I'm gonna class that as underrated."

"It's like a cheesy burger, basically. With more emphasis on the cheese. I think I need another bite to get to the steak. I just don't know if it's my thing. I don't think I would get it again. Maybe it's just like I'm not a Philly cheesesteak guy."

"For £11.50, there was no queue. It is tasty. The thing is, if this had the allure of people queuing for it, everyone would go, oh my god, that's the most insane thing ever. I feel like I've had better sandwiches that are more complex at that price range."

"I'm gonna give it a 3.9. I'd say it's underrated, and it deserves a little bit more vibes."
