Jim’s Steaks in Philadelphia recently started a Facebook page, and there is no mention of a cheesesteak record attempt by Pat Bertoletti on it. Dave “US Male” Goldstein comments that Bertoletti fell two sandwiches short of Bob Shoudt’s record of 13. If that is accurate, Bertoletti’s 11 sandwiches would tie the 1977 record set by Lynda Kuerth.

CBS3 has a video about Abner Silver, owner of Jim’s Steaks, setting up the facebook page. Abner Silver also set up the 1977 event where Lynda Kuerth set the cheesesteak record.
