To be fair... It says it is a Philly Steak Sub... Not a Cheesesteak. As a steak sub that's not a horrible combination.

But it is still clear what they're trying to sell and is an abomination.

That sandwich is a crime no matter what they're trying to call it

If you can't make it up to Philadelphia, DC has some good places for cheesesteaks. It's been a few years, but I'll see if I can find the name of the place I liked

The best cheesesteaks I've had were on the east coast, not west coast. I've also had shitty versions of food everywhere by places that have no idea what they're doing, you can't just use some garbage a specific place offers and define regional food quality. For you next fun experiment try ordering a Cuban sandwich essentially anywhere outside of FL and you're likely to get some embarrassing mutated ham sandwich bullshit.

Dude, come north. Jersey has it all. I get cheesesteaks. I get California cheesesteaks. We benefit from proximity to New York and Philadelphia without living in either one. And great beaches.

But when I read your first post that east coast food culture sucks, it only made sense when I realized where you lived, or where you didn't live is probably more accurate. Diversity makes for great eats and Jersey is diverse af. And diverse diverse, people from everywhere just end up here being like "This isn't new York. Ehh, fuck it, good enough."
