Philadelphia has set a world record for the “Longest Line of Cheesesteaks”, with 1,200ft of the city’s celebrated sandwich stretching across the B/C connectors at the Philadelphia international airport (PHL).

The airport achieved the record on Tuesday with help from more than 100 employees and volunteers, who assembled foot-long rolls using 990lb of Philly’s Best Steak and 225lb of cheese sauce. According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, the full line took about an hour to complete.
