"The TRUFF brand was built around pop-culture and the conversation-generating power of food that brings people together," says Nick Ajluni, Co-Founder and Co-CEO at TRUFF. "We recognize that the Philly Cheesesteak has its own place in pop culture and we want to shine light on this classic American staple, and the restaurants that create them."

Since founding the company in 2017, TRUFF Co-Founders Nick Ajluni and Nick Guillen have constantly been in pursuit of the ultimate dining experience. In fact, the brand's line of pantry staples was created with the goal of elevating dining experiences with its ultra-unique flavor profile, pristine bottle, and truffle inspired cap.

"The people of Philadelphia are passionate about their city and they're even more passionate about where to get the best cheesesteak," says Nick Guillen, Co-Founder and Co-CEO at TRUFF. "We thought, what better way to settle the age-old debate than to ask Philadelphians ourselves!"

TRUFF has a distinct presence on social media with its coveted account, @sauce, where it highlights drool-worthy food shots, notable chefs cooking and popular dishes from restaurants around the world. TRUFF currently boasts the largest following of any hot sauce on TikTok and Instagram and was awarded "Best Brand Born Out of Social Media" for AdWeek's Challenger Brand Awards. With #TRUFFBestPhilly, TRUFF is rewarding the restaurant with the best cheesesteak experience in Philadelphia.

The #TRUFFBestPhilly contest will be complemented by two billboard placements in Philadelphia's City Center. The billboards will encourage Philadelphia citizens to simply fill-in-the-blank with the statement: "_____ has the best cheesesteak in Philly." This will be the brand's first out-of-home advertising campaign. Cheesesteak enthusiasts around the globe are invited to vote at TRUFF.com/Philly by October 13, 2021 at 11:59 p.m. EDT. Fans can also help promote their favorite cheesesteak joint on their social channels by using the hashtag #TRUFFBestPhilly.
