    That's clearly from Filly, not Philly.

    Context time: I grew up in Philadelphia, and Philadelphia ('the city of brotherly love' from ancient Greek 😄 ) is where I learned about something called a "cheesesteak."

    Yeap, our family had them once in a while, pretty much eaten upon the idea that they're terribly unhealthy, and really NOT something to be consumed on a regular basis, however delicious they tasted. (because they are delicious)

    Here's where it gets interesting (at least for me)-- a "Philly cheesesteak" is one of the easiest things to replicate in the universe, yet as with this post, somehow (almost miraculously) ALWAYS finds a way to get it wrong. ALWAYS.

    (It's almost like a law of the universe at this point. XD)

    OP:

    • thinly-sliced cuts of steak, not chunks of steak
    • fresh, Italian bread, not that abomination bread, or whatever that is
    • green bell peppers, really? (usually we do pickled cherry peppers and banana peppers)
    • Cheez whiz / provolone

    Seriously, before I expire upon this earth, could we have a SINGLE person who understands how to make a goldurn 'Philly cheesesteak?'

    Thanks for the feedback. I will ignore all of that and enjoy this sandwich just as it was.
