LeBron James is already being embraced in Philadelphia, with two of the city’s iconic cheesesteak restaurants preparing special tributes following his decision to join the 76ers.

Pat’s King of Steaks is temporarily renaming its famous “Whiz Wit” order to “The King’s Way” in honor of the four-time NBA champion.

Frank Olivieri, the third-generation owner of Pat’s, explained the idea.

“Everyone knows there’s only one way to order the classic, and now there’s a new way to say it. When you come to the window and ask for The King’s Way, we’ll know exactly what you mean.”

Geno’s Steaks is also welcoming James by reserving its famous VIP booth and inviting him behind the grill for a cheesesteak-making lesson.

President Geno Vento told TMZ, “Our VIP booth – the hardest seat in Philadelphia to get – already has LeBron’s name on it. Whenever he’s ready, we’ll welcome him with a cheesesteak, hand him the spatula, and even let him spend some time behind the grill for a little cheesesteak 101 with me personally. Every Philadelphia legend has a story at Geno’s, and we’d love for LeBron’s to begin here.”
