What kind of cheese do you have on your Philly cheese steak?

I have no desire to make the trip simply as a sentimental journey (I'm not much into nostalgia), but the idea of a new standard in cheesesteak excellence might induce me to hop the train.


The original Jim's is on 52nd Street in West Philly. IIRC, the South St store was their second location, and the Roosevelt Mall their third.

Grrr!! Here I am snowed in and craving a Whiz wit', extra meat from Steve's.

Sorry, 62nd Street. I didn't know they had a Springfield location:

I was in New York City recently and I noticed that there are some places that serves cheese steak sandwiches. I haven't tried them but I imagine it's probably pretty good since NYC is a good food city.

It's about a 15 minute walk to get to Steve's from where I live.

I have spent a lot of time in Philly and eaten at many cheese steak places in Philly.

1. WHIZ is the best choice for a Philly cheese steak. I normally do not like Cheez Whiz, period. However, Cheez Whiz has a synergy with a true Philly cheese steak. First, unlike other cheeses like Provolone, Whiz is gooey -- that makes the sandwich texture better (everything from roll to meat to cheese is smooth and soft). Second, although Whiz does have a processed taste, it somehow helps bring out the meat's flavor. Kind of like how salt pulls out flavor in foods. Third, I've tried many styles, and I always go back to Whiz.

2. If I were getting a cheese steak sandwich that was NOT a true Philly steak sandwich -- like one of those places at the mall that puts lettuce and tomato on your steak sandwich, or uses harder rolls than the Philly shops use -- I would NEVER pick Whiz. Whiz works great for the true Philly steak sandwich, but it's not the same elsewhere. Whiz mixed with lettuce and tomato - yuck! Soft Whiz with harder or stale bread - yuck! It's not the same!

Hey Ross, had a blast at Steve's. Thanks again for the Cheesesteak, and lending me some headphones. Auditioning your headphones was fun, but I'm not so sure I made the right decision haha.
