    I like onions. Are they not a cheesesteak staple? I like them on cold sammies as well. Probably not with mortadella. And agree I prefer my steak chopped up. 
    They are. I think they're just talking about raw onions on a hoagie though....but I still think that's crazy talk. 
    Raw onions on a hoagie is the worst part of a hoagie. That and and shitty shredded lettuce.

    You order without?
    I like both of those things.  Prefer different lettuce but shredded berg works OK.

    My wife used to add lettuce and tomatoes to cheesesteak.   That is bullshit.  Lol.

    I like a steak and cheese sub with lettuce, tomato, pickles, grilled onions, and ketchup. I also like the steak to be a thicker slice - not the Steak-Ums style.

    You properly call this a steak and cheese sub.

    According to the Italian Market I purchased hoagies from as a kid, lettuce has no business being on an Italian hoagie. Lettuce is just a filler added to skimp out on the cold cuts.

    I don't like onions but for some reason I don't mind a very little on my Hoagie.

    I do NOT have onions on ANY other food, especially cheesesteaks as the flavor is too strong for my taste buds. 

    A cheesesteak should be just that: Cheese and steak.

    @F Me In The Brain-did you tell you wife that? But, that is not a cheesesteak  for me.

    I went to college in upstate NY. There was a greek run sandwich shop near campus that made amazing sandwiches. They did the mayo, raw onions, lettuce, tomato, salt and pepper, and a toasted roll for a cheesesteak. May not be an authentic Philly, but it was really good.

    I would agree that if I am in Philly I would order it the right way. Cooper wit. But I also like it when it is dressed like a Po Boy. Maybe just call it a grilled roast beef sandwich instead. Some delis do that up here in NY. Boars Head roast beef heated up on the flat top. Not a true philly but still very good. And I put Kewpie mayo on almost everything!

    Dude, my kids live less than 10 minutes from there. This will absolutely be our next lunch destination. I'm assuming this is the Don Cheech with Cooper Sharp? My boy will be psyched...kid loves his steaks!

    Hey Wobbie, I don't think it's anything particularly Philly related. I'm assuming it's a vague reference to the character in The Godfather named Don Ciccio? Could be totally wrong though. Maybe I'll inquire when I visit.
