I agree. Sorry to Andy and the other Cheese Whiz fans, but it can't
possibly be traditional on cheesesteaks? Why? The first jar (or can) of
Cheese Whiz didn't come out of Kraft's chemistry factory until decades
after Pat sold his first Philly cheesesteak.

I used to like provolone on my cheesesteaks, but now I prefer American.
Either way is fine though, and despite what some people claim, you can
easily get a cheesesteak with provolone or American at Pat's without any
attitude at all. I am a born and raised Philly boy and I only know a
handful of Philly people who prefer their cheesesteaks with "whiz"
instead of American or provolone.

Of course, since they're so fattening, I rarely eat a cheesesteak; maybe
three or four times a year.
