Leon Lucas, a boxer nicknamed Donkey for the force of his punch, opened this bar in Parkside in 1943. The house cheesesteak is chopped, piled with caramelised onions and served on a round poppy seed kaiser roll rather than a long Italian one, which is the South Jersey way of doing it. Anthony Bourdain filmed here in 2015 and said it beat anything across the river.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
