A guide to Philadelphia's iconic sandwich.
It is a sandwich made of thinly sliced beef — usually frozen chip steak — cooked on a griddle and served on a sliced roll with cheese and either “wit” or “witout” onions. The cheese is typically American cheese, provolone or melted Cheez Whiz. Fans of cheesesteaks sold by particular outlets — think, or Tony Lukes — usually point to the meat or the source of the eatery’s bread as a reason for their loyalty.
Pat's Steaks Sandwiches, 3251 Ridge Ave., in the Strawberry Mansion section near what was then a trolley turnaround and is now a bus station "Pat never wanted cheese at his original shop because he tried to keep sort of kosher for all his Jewish friends,", and it was perfect, because he could just hide the can at the edge of the grill where my grandfather wouldn’t see it. He started serving it to people anyway, like, ‘Try this!’ and it became the most popular way to order.”The main ingredient is thinly sliced steaks from various cuts of beef, with rib-eye considered the top-of-the-shelf cut.
