It's pretty much Celebrity Deathmatch: Sandwich Edition between Hungry Bazterds and Park Bench Deli, especially with both offering up their own renditions of the esteemed cheesesteak sandwich. So, who's the winner?

HB's cheesesteak sandwich is stuffed to the gills with thin strips of shabu shabu beef, much like PBD's, but Hungry Bazterds, living up to their name, adds four more thick slices of utterly divine bovine atop the already meaty monstrosity. Each slice of that beef is good enough to go it solo, being tender and jam packed full of savory goodness. Better yet, one of the slices I got was the tip of the beef it was portioned from, allowing me to enjoy the extra powerful flavors on the crust. As for the slices of beef itself, PBD's is just that little bit more tender, which is insane considering that HB's beef is already strikingly tender.

The sumptuous secret 4 cheese sauce is considerably more liquid than PBD's, the former having a tendency to dribble out of the bun upon every bite while PBD's stellar sauce clings on to everything it touches like a toddler to his favorite stuffed animal. As for the bun itself, HB's brioche roll is softer in texture and absorbs more of the umami sauce while PBD goes for that crusty roll to counter the softness of the beef.

Here's where HB pulls out the ace up its sleeve: unlike PBD, HB has melted cheese at the bottom of the bun, leading to that desirable, sexy cheese stretch and even more flavor!

So which one did I prefer? It was a ridiculously tough choice for me as both were extraordinarily divine in their own right, but I preferred PBD's by the slightest of margins only thanks to their crusty roll that added an excellent variety of texture to the cheesesteak.This food war will continue for as long as these two joints continue to serve up phenomenal cheesesteak sandwiches, and this beef ain't going nowhere.
