Jim Pappas, the man behind Philadelphia Cheesesteak Adventure, who has eaten 1,000 cheesesteaks in the past two years, announces he is setting up his third annual March Cheesesteak Madness. The bracket-style tournament is modeled after college basketball’s March Madness, featuring 64 cheesesteak entries, writes Jim Pappas for phillybite.com.

Online voting at Philly Bite will determine a People’s Champion.

A Judge’s Champion will be chosen by judges following the same scoring system Pappas used on his cheesesteak adventure.

Judges’ results will be posted on PhillyBite.com, on the Philadelphia Cheesesteak Adventure’s YouTube channel, on Facebook, and on its website.

The 64 Cheesesteaks are broken down into 16 cheesesteak shops in each of the four regions: Phila., Delaware County, NJ/DE and the a bracket combining Chester, Montgomery, Berks, and Bucks County.

Reviews of each entry are on the Philadelphia Cheesesteak Adventure’s YouTube channel.

The entries come from a culled-down spreadsheet of cheesesteaks that scored 90 or higher during Pappas’ Cheesesteak Adventure. 

Last year’s People’s Champion was By George at the Reading Terminal in Philadelphia. The 2021 Judge’s Champion was Phil & Jim’s Steaks & Hoagies, 2905 Edgemont Ave. in Brookhaven.
