    I prefer more finely chopped meat, but I would def give that a shot. 

    Hoagie looks awesome too. Is that pesto and some hot peppers on there?
    There’s a lot going on there. Pistachio pesto, hot pepper relish, dried herbs, and their “hoagie sauce” which is the mayo looking part. It was also supposed to have onions and arugula but I opted out of those. 
    Arugula is a no-go....but keep those onions in there man.

    That's a hell of a sandwich. Congrats!

    Pistachio spread on focaccia with mortadella has been very popular here in NYC.  A shop from florence made it popular. Never tried it though.

    Can’t do onions at all. One of my most hated foods.

    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.

    I like them on almost anything. Even an onion bagel. Pickled on a taco? Yes please.

    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.  
    Hope you enjoy!

    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.

    I have to have shredded lettuce and a very little onions.

    @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.

    Hehe.  Yes, she knows I think it is a BS cheesesteak.  She doesn't care that I think that, which is correct....people should eat what they like.
