The Cheesesteak BLT at Philadelphia's Vesuvio Restaurant & Bar has been selected by NBC's "The Today Show" as the best sandwich in the country.
Vesuvio riffs on the Philly classic by featuring sliced filet mignon topped with provolone, sautéed onions, bacon, lettuce, and tomato on a ciabatta that's slathered with sriracha mayonnaise. It's $11.
The restaurant says it's a healthier option than the traditional cheesesteak - (ha, ha, ha, ha, we'll get ignore that line) - and always a big hit with the restaurant's late night bar crowd. (OK, that I believe.)
It beat out a specialty from Katz's Delicatessen in New York City, a muffaletta from New Orleans and a lobster roll from San Francisco.
Vesuvio is located at 736 S. 8th St. at Fitzwater. For a reservation, call (215) 922-8380 or visit http://www.vesuvio-online.com/.
