The Glade 4.0

I just saw that an "authentic" Philly Cheesesteak has Cheese Whiz and not provolone...

Question: What the hell is wrong with y'all? Cheese Whiz? Seriously?

I have never had one in Philly but my understanding is that they love the whiz. Voted accordingly.

I can't weigh in on this for a number of reasons, so I'm just picking the option with my name in it.

Are you not allowed Cheesesteak?

I had one at a place in Reading Terminal Market. I can say I've had it the way it's meant to be eaten. I prefer it the way it isn't meant to be eaten.

You can get them with Provolone in Philly. In fact, pretty certain the rivalry between the two places that claim to have created the sandwich hinges on their disagreement in cheese. But, it's been a long time since I've been in Philly.

As someone who lived in the Philly area for several years, my experience matches up with Khross' statement. I'm aware that I could have gotten my cheesesteaks with whiz but never did so.

And as I lived just a couple of towns over from Quakertown, the 'Webber' variant was fairly popular at my local spot.
It's prepped like a standard cold hoagie - with lettuce, tomatoes, and uncooked onions.

I get them at Jersey Mike's with tomato and vinegar. The cheese is white, probably provolone. I dunno.

I'd always had them with provolone until going to Philly, and then in the search for the truly authentic I tried a whiz one. I love both. I will take them any way you're serving, please.

Foamy introduced me to the "Whiz" version when I visited. After we sat down to eat I noticed neither he nor Oonagh had ordered one "Whiz." It was an interesting experience, not one I will likely repeat, by I can honestly say I had one. Provolone will be prefered.

Is Whiz even real cheese?

My favorite cheesesteak place uses a white cheddar sauce.

The two places tourist traps in Philly (Pat's & Gino's?) are generally considered by locals to be overrated.

You want Jim's on South street. And you want whiz.

My favorite spot is outside of the city. Which makes me now want one. Hmmm....

Lived in the Philly area all my life and I never wanted whiz. Just provolone, like micheal said.Sauce and mushrooms too

I lived in a Philly suburb from 6th grade to 12th grade and I cannot ever remember what sort of cheese or cheese-like substance was on the cheesesteak actually being a matter of contention.

Then again, cheesesteaks like the aforementioned tourist traps and most other things about filthadephia are pretty overrated.
