Yep... some good cheese steaks can be found in Allentown, but I'm not
familiar with Malones rolls. I know that there has been a continuing
argument in Philadelphia over whether the best rolls come from
Amarosos's or the Conshohocken bakery. I liked them both.

Since I moved to the south (Louisiana) I had given up on ever finding a
place that made a good cheese steak until recently when I found a very
good one at a place that specializes in fried catfish. (Really? Yeah,
really!)

Sam's Southern Eatery here in Shreveport has a great reputation for good
seafood, huge portions and very reasonable prices. Becca and I ate
there often and never even noticed that they had a Philly Cheese Steak
on the menu. I tried it one day and was surprised at how good it was.
In Philly, it would get 3 out of five stars... but here in Louisiana, it
is 5 stars all the way. http://samssoutherneatery.net/?page_id=2
