On National Cheesesteak Day, Philadelphia Sets World Record for "Longest Line of Cheesesteaks"
The record-breaking line included 1,291 cheesesteaks assembled with 990 pounds of ribeye and 225 pounds of cheese sauce, then donated to TSA staff and travelers.
- On Tuesday, Philadelphia International Airport achieved a new Guinness World Record for the "Longest Line of Cheesesteaks," with 1,291 sandwiches lined up to mark National Cheesesteak Day.
- PHL coordinated the attempt because the facility hosts more restaurants serving the city's signature dish than any other single location, according to Marketing and Guest Experience Manager Dana Krawchuk.
- The display spanned about 1,271 feet, requiring 990 pounds of shaved ribeye and 225 pounds of Cooper Sharp cheese sauce, with more than 100 volunteers assembling the line under Guinness World Record adjudicator Michael Empric's supervision.
- Following verification, Transportation Security Administration employees received the sandwiches alongside travelers and airport staff; Peter Ciarrocchi, CEO of Chickie's and Pete's, praised feeding TSA workers who have been working without pay.
- This display served as the centerpiece for PHL Cheesesteak Week, running through Sunday, March 29, where travelers enjoy exclusive cheesesteak-inspired dishes honoring the City of Brotherly Love's iconic sandwich.
