Harry Olivieri, who with his brother Pat was credited with inventing the Philly cheesesteak in 1933, had died. He was 90.
Despite a heart condition, Olivieri had showed up at Pat's King of Steaks almost every day until about three years ago. He died of heart failure Thursday at Atlantic City Medical Center in Pomona, N.J., his daughter Maria said.
Harry and his older brother opened a corner hot dog stand near south Philadelphia's Italian Market in 1930.
Three years later, they made the first version of the sandwich that helped put the city on the street food map. Tired of hot dogs, Pat suggested that Harry go to a store and buy some beef. Harry brought it back, sliced it up and grilled it with some onions.
The brothers piled the meat on rolls and were about to dig in when a cab driver arrived for lunch, smelled the meat and onions and demanded one of the sandwiches.
Harry sold the cabbie his own sandwich in a transaction the brothers counted as the birth of Pat's King of Steaks.
Cheese Wiz was added to the steak and onions starting in the 1960s, and provolone, American cheese and pizza sauce later became options in the concoction along with various condiments and side dishes.
Pat Olivieri died in 1970. Harry's son, Frank, now runs the restaurant.

Isn't it around Bush or Suutter? I haven't but I'm told all the time I should... I may go tonight! It may be one of my last meals here before I go to Israel to help my people defend against evil and inhalation. |

If I was starving I'd eat my dog, if I was cold I'd wear my dog. It's what he would've wanted! |

Yeah they import the rolls direct from Philly. They also have pics of many of the best cheesesteak shops in and around Philly (including a few that don't exist anymore). It excellent nourishment to power yourself to battle! |

Really. I love my dog, but I would eat him if push came to shove. Plus, I feed him the good stuff, so I expect that the meat would be very tender. |

I ate horse steak in Italy. I guess horses don't have the personality of dogs though. Horse was not bad. |
