"It's a great cheeseteak! I thank God I don't review these because they're so heavy, I'd die!" Portnoy continues, "This is a great cheesesteak." Another bite. "This is a great cheesesteak! It reminds me of Angelos a little bit."

"Now I go higher a little bit when I like the cheesesteak," says Portnoy. "This is right up there with the best cheesesteaks I've ever had, and I'd go 9.1 on this cheesesteak. It's a big cheesesteak. It's a great cheesesteak."
