A young Jonathon Honeycombe was the last remaining Honeycombe from his village when he first immigrated from England during the early 1900s. Upon entering the United States, he had a job opportunity to build locomotives for the Baldwin Locomotive Works in Philadelphia.
One of Jonathon's favorite lunches were hot dogs and he would frequent a hot dog stand at the corner of 9th street. One day, he discovered that the hot dog stand decided to serve sandwiches instead. As you can imagine, Jonathon was quite taken aback as he had been entirely subsisting on hot dogs and apple pie while living in Philadelphia. This new sandwich, however, was quite delicious with chopped beef and grilled onions over an Italian roll.
He would go on to discover that this sandwich, known as a 'cheesesteak' sandwich was quite popular in Philadelphia and so Jonathon's new favorite food became cheesesteaks. He loved it so much that he changed his last name ever so subtly to reflect his new found appreciation for the sandwich. From hence on, all his sons would carry out the passion and delicious love that is...the CHEESESTEAK!!
