But Officer, Why Pennsylvania?
That's a great question, hypothetical citizen! Pennsylvania, founded by the peace-loving William Penn (turns out Quakers like good cheese too), was the perfect spot for Philly to flourish. With its location on the Delaware River, the city became a major trade hub, attracting folks from all over. This melting pot of cultures is exactly what makes Philly so darn delicious (and cheesesteaks aren't the only things melting here, metaphorically speaking of course).
Tip: Don’t skim — absorb.
So next time you bite into that cheesy goodness, remember, you're not just enjoying a delicious sandwich, you're experiencing a delicious piece of Pennsylvanian history!
