Where's the best steak? Let's settle it.
A Philly-only guide, scorecard and tracker for cheesesteaks. Every shop gets a story and a scorecard. Every steak you eat gets logged.
No spam. One email when it's ready.
What it is
A guide with opinions
Hungry Jawn is built around one subject, so ratings can be specific: the meat, the roll, the cheese, how forgiving the counter is to newcomers. Locals set the bar. Visitors get the straight story.
An illustrated map
A hand-drawn poster map of Philly instead of a generic pin map. Tap a shop, get the preview, get directions in your maps app of choice.
A scorecard for every shop
Sandwich scores, experience scores and descriptors, written by a person, with the basis shown: visited or researched.
Track what you've had
Check in, keep a tried list and a want-to-try list, and make a share card worth posting.
News from the counter
Openings, closings, awards and viral moments, linked to the shops they're about.
A peek inside
Sneak peek
Early look at the app. Screens shown use sample shops and sample scores, and will change before launch.
How we score
Honest scores, no mystery
Every dimension is scored 1 to 5. The Tourist Meter is a vibe gauge, not a quality score, and it never moves a rating.
