I don't think I would want cheese whiz on it though, probably swiss cheese.

Where are you living? I know at least a couple dozen places around LA that offer them. If you come out for CanJam, I'll take you to get one in El Segundo.

It's a very different interpretation but I love it.

Coming from a guy who's username is Spareribs.

Technically it's not a Philly CHEESE steak sandwich though.

As a NJ native I feel qualified to put in my two cents. Cheez Wiz is plastic cheese. If that's what you use it should be called a "processed food spread & steak swndwich". Provolone is the way to go.

Here's another cool shot of the famous sandwich

Looks like she can handle some meat...

Typical order here in Philly...

"Fried onions wit."
Translation: A cheese steak with friend onions and Whiz.

Now, my order (at either Jim's or Ishkabibble, both on South St.)
"Fried onions with American, hots on the side."

My wife does prefer provie on hers.

Provolone with banana peppers and onion.

Deal.

But I must warn you, eating anything produced by Kraft foods is going to lower your odds tremendously.

We have a couple philly steak places out here. One of them also has a killer meatball sandwich.

I'd say I like mine with any of: provolone, swiss, sharp cheddar (medium is acceptable but not preferred), pepper jack

Whiz and it's gotta be from Pat's.

No-one could tell the difference from the picture alone?

I thought Americans could detect steak, real steak, blindfolded! I guess I was wrong.


Amateurs...

Love the Pat's wrapper and the side of cheese fries (with Whiz, of course) I could have started a thread about the Jim's/Pat's/Geno's question, but I was afraid people would kill each other. I was always a Jim's man, but Pat's was always welcome. Only went to Geno's once.

I always go provolone. No question. This thread makes me wish I was back home in PA!

 

[Fumoffuru]

Provolone or Whiz depending on my mood (usually provolone).
Onions, mushrooms, peppers if I'm in a "healthy" mood.

Jim's or Geno's. The last time I had Pat's it was cold and the mushrooms were disgusting, never going back.
