Thin sliced ribeye, grilled onions, provolone.

Cheez whiz if you're a fucking tourist.

Are green peppers okay?

>> No.7934823

NJ native who lived in Philly:
1) the OG is steak and American white deli cheese (get this BULLSHIT American = Kraft singles meme out my fucking face)
2) steak with Wiz
Toppings ?
Ketchup, mayo, and fried onions is the ghetto steak
Most people just have plain or ketchup (onions optional), with American white cheese or provolone

PS only plebs think it has bell peppers. You can have fried long hot peppers or picked peppers on the side

Once visiting a friend in Philadelphia and ate cheese steaks after a day and night of drinking

gotta wiz on it

wiz and fried chopped onions

>> No.7934947

According to the wiki the sub appeared in the 1930's and cheez wiz only appeared on the market in the 50's.

So if you want to go full blown "muh authentic sammich" it's provolone and not cheez wiz.

Technically you should drop the cheese, because the first guy to make it served it without cheese, provolone was only added later by some other faggot.

Fuck that, I like my steak sandwiches piled up and dunked in jus. I don't give a shit what's authentic. You've got that crust of the bread, the soaked interior like dipping your bread in soup, a little crunch from the peppers and onions, the gooeyness of the cheese, you can't fuck with that.

Chinks. In Philly.

But ur better off crossing the bridge and going to Chicks in Cherry Hill. Even though it's NJ they have won best cheese steak in Philly before lol. Also ran by a family I went to HS with and has been around for 30-40 yrs. Great deli. Total hidden gem.

I'm not an authenticity autist but this is what my friends and I came up with:

Thin sliced ribeye
Provolone is tradition, Whiz is for tourists, white American is acceptable. Some people are trying to make sharp cheddar a thing but I think that is too much of a departure
Grilled onions. I literally don't know anybody who orders one without onions, I think it must be a meme or something not to
The only other acceptable toppings are optional: mushrooms and green peppers

It's weird how people get about their regional foods. Like Chicago's autism about ketchup on hot dogs. Nigga just get it how you want it

>> No.7935417

>>7935347
American cheese, fried onions. If your a sauce guy, the only acceptable choices are ketchup and or mayo. I rotate between plain, ketchup, mayo, both regularly. Hot and sweet pickled peppers on the side.

>> No.7935421

>>7935402
I feel like the authentic philly autists all use wiz, but provolone is way the fuck better, and if you are looking for a good cheese steak, philly is one of the last places I would go

>> No.7935422

>>7935417
No I don't like ketchup or mayo on steak, so I would go with American and onions.

But what are your thoughts on the whiz that's really just melted American like they have at Jim's?

>> No.7935427

>>7935421
None of the places I've been to even serve the literal cheese whiz

But Jim's sells melted American as "whiz" and it's good as fuck

>> No.7935450

>>7935421
If you are really in doubt about the authenticity of whiz then this is your daily reminder that the philly cheesesteak predates the invention of whiz by 20 years. The temporal evidence doesn't add up even if it tastes fine

There is no melted American Wiz secret. I have said many times most cheese steaks use melted American white deli cheese.

Wiz used by Philly is nothing like jar cheese product. It doesn't congeel and is very thin and non viscous.

Just had one cause of this thread:
Toasted roll
Extra American cheese
Fried onions fried extra

No it's not. You won't find that in Italy. It's pure American.

Chicago, how does it feel to know that LA's French Dip is a far superior sandwich?

Like all your food, the Italian Beef is underflavored and oversized.
