    I'm not a fan of the chocolate cake shake.  I don't like the chunks in it.  If I get a shake i like it nice and smooth.  Their actual chocolate cake is outstanding though.  They're very well known for that.

    No condiments on a cheesesteak, ketchup is possibly allowed in small amounts. Mayo is legal on chicken cheesesteaks tho. Thems the rules.

    Yes the actual cake is wonderful. They were serving it for free in the vip section.  :)

    This morning, I saw someone post a picture on twitter of mustard on his cheesesteak.

    That steak sandwich at Portillo s is amazing.  My wife also loved the cake chocolate shake.  It was way too sweet for me.  
    I got that as well and thought it was slightly overhyped. Good, but not great. 
    Same...I haven't been too impressed by Portillos

    Mustard - NO. But if I said I liked a bit of steak sauce on my cheesesteak would the mocking begin :)

    Wife's family from Ireland came over last year. We did the whole ordeal and walked down to Pat's. I didn't want to be my usual nerd, overbearing self so I let them do what they wanted to do. The ordering process was awkward, but was allowed due to the accents. But then homeboy went over to the condiments and started pumping spicy mustard all over it. I needed to be helped up off the ground.

    Mustard is gross but if I had a gun to my head and had to pick mustard or ketchup I’m going mustard every day of the week and twice on Sunday. I gag at the sight of ketchup on a cheesesteak.

    The correct way is chopped steak (no strips or slabs), American/Provolone/Whiz (all at the same time if you can, really), fried onions, S&P, seeded roll. That's it.

    Mustard on a steak?  Ketchup?
    I guess I could do either but would never think to.
    Nasty.

    Seeded roll all the way. The only thing I fault Dalessandro’s for is not using a seeded roll.

    Ketchup is quite common. Mustard is something I've never considered before.

    Ketchup on a cheese steak seems like the equivalent of ketchup on a hot dog...you just don't do it.  Mustard on a dog is delicious, but no way on a cheese steak.  Cheese steak is a "less is more" kind of sandwich for me.

    My wife puts mustard on hamburgers, so I guess I could see people doing it.  
    Yuck.

    All the big fast food burger places (McD's the King, Wendy's) put ketchup, mustard, pickles and onions on burgers, I don't bother with putting in a special order when I get one, but always wish the mustard wasn't there...doesn't belong. And BK seems to put way too much of it.
    Plus its always the yellow mustard, which frankly sucks. Brown mustard like Guldens at the very least (if not something more exotic/spicy) or GTFO.

    ^Yellow mustard is the shit on hot dogs though. I always order my fast food burgers with just cheese. Fuck all that other nonsense.
