What happened after Food Paradise?

Food Paradise's 'Local Legends' episode spotlighted the hand-sliced, unchopped ribeye cheesesteaks that have made Steve's Prince of Steaks a Northeast Philadelphia institution. The Bustleton Avenue location, in the Oxford Circle section of the city, is the original shop, founded in 1980 and known for topping its steaks with melted American cheese rather than the chopped-meat style common elsewhere in the city. According to a Yelp listing updated September 2026, the restaurant lists current hours, including a 9:30am to 1am schedule on Friday and Saturday, and continues to draw active reviews. A direct check of the specific website link supplied for this record returned an HTTP 404 on 2026-09-09, but the shop's broader current pages remained reachable through search, so the Yelp listing was used to confirm ongoing operation.
