I haven't tasted them all, but the few times I've had Giordano's in Chicago it was awesome.
As far as Philly cheesesteaks, I grew up in Philly and have lived here for over 50 years now and I've had a lot more than my share of cheesesteaks. In any case, IMO neither Pat's or Geno's could possibly be considered to be even in the local top ten. They are at least "edible" and I still stop there occasionally just for the experience if I happen to be driving by. Just for comparison, next time try Tony Luke's little curbside joint on Oregon Ave. right off the I-95 exit, it's actually right under the highway overpass. If you're in the mood for a pork sandwich, also try Tony Luke's pork w/broccoli rabe ...a lot of it is the far superior quality of their bread roll.
PS: on a whim I'll often drive to NYC for food ...hard to beat NYC for great edibles. One minute on the way home, next minute ..."hey, let's go to NYC instead!"
