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

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!0 -
Where’d you go that school upstate?Get_Right said: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.0 -

Cafe Carmela....absolutely legit. This is from the Huntington Valley location.
Like all good cheesesteaks, the meat to cheese ratio is perfect and the bread.....oh, the bread.

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.Wobbie said:

not unsurprisingly, it’s hard to find a good cheesesteak in the wasteland of salt lake city. moochie’s (“straight outta philly) is good. we went to a total dive bar tonight where some philly-type guy took over the kitchen. his mom and dad bring out the food. mom said they’re from not far from F’me’s crib in cherry hill. I’m guessing they weren’t quite so affluent. anyway, pretty good philly for SLC. not quite as robust as juggler’s last post. check the menu….are these philly staples? the last one has rabe but I thought that was a pork thing in philly?
