    Every time I visit Philly (usually for PJ- 2009, 2012, 2013, 2016) I get a cheesesteak but with chicken.  Each and every time I am criticized and rightfully so  lol 
    A chicken cheesesteak. I think I had one once upon a time. Very meh.

    Let's talk about this ridiculous idea that fake plastic cheez (cheese whiz) is the "traditional" topping for a cheesesteak. My parents had a hoagie shop in the early 70s and the cheesesteak cheese options at the time were American and Provolone. Fake Plastic Cheez (yes very much a pun on a Radiohead song) IS NOT the traditional "cheese" for a cheesesteak. Stop listening to millennial and gen z morons telling you this nonsense.

    Should be open on Saturday - best cheese combo in the city (it's a secret) - just order a cheesesteak - Mama's Pizzeria in Bala Cynwyd. (no they don't sell pizza anymore). And there's no shrinkflation going on here folks!  https://www.mamaspizzeriacheesesteaks.com/

    I used to get chicken cheesesteaks a long time ago but that was like about 25 years ago and the place near me that made them at the time I thought were really good. They unfortunately went downhill about 10 years ago or so.

    Angelo’s was really good! Not the best photo, but so good. Bread was fantastic.

    Angelo's was highly recommended and lived up to and even surpassed expectations. Their cheesesteak w/ cooper sharp and grilled onions is one of the best sandwiches - any sandwich, not just cheesesteak - I've ever tasted. Definitely worth the wait!

    That is an interesting take. I will eat a cheesesteak with Whiz, but I definitely prefer provolone. There is a place in Huntington Beach, CA that I would go to a lot called John's Philly Grille. They make a delicious chicken hoagie on an Amoroso roll. Grilled chicken chunks, mushrooms, provolone, and lettuce and tomato. I crave that juicy bomb sandwich all of the time. Beef one is good, as well. Still never been to Philly. Someday.

    Does Angelo's put some kind of a sauce on the steak subs.  Seemed like there was.
