The episode of "Worth It" titled "Philadelphia Cheesesteaks" features Steven and his guests trying three different Philadelphia cheesesteaks at varying price points to determine which one offers the best value for money. The cheesesteaks are tried at John's Roast Pork, a South Philadelphia establishment with a history dating back to 1930, and at Gin & Pop, a bar known for its high craft cocktails and elevated bar food. The third stop is Barclay Prime, a luxury steakhouse where the cheesesteak costs $120.
The cheesesteak at Gin & Pop, made with mushrooms instead of steak, is a surprise to the guests and is appreciated for its unique flavor profile. The cheesesteak at Barclay Prime, with its high-quality ingredients and elaborate preparation, is another standout, but its high price is a deterrent for some.
In the end, each guest has their own Worth It winner. Andrew, who is a fan of fancy cocktails, chooses the cheesesteak from Gin & Pop for the overall experience. Quinta, a native Philadelphian, opts for the cheesesteak from Boo's in Los Angeles, California, despite its price point. Adam, the show's co-host, chooses the cheesesteak from Barclay Prime, appreciating its high quality despite its price.
