Yup, and some visitors just have no clue. I was walking around the
campus of Sanford University in California a few years ago around noon
when I got hungry. Just as I got hungry, I passed by a student cafeteria
with a sign out front that said "special of the day: Philly cheesesteak"
so I went against my better judgement and I walked in, asked if visitors
could eat there, then I ordered one.

What I got was a lightly toasted french baguette sliced horizontally. It
had slices of some kind of meat on it, some sauteed green peppers and
onions ... and a few chunks of pineapple, with some american cheese. The
sandwich was an abomination only because it was advertised as a Philly
cheeesteak, but at least it was very tasty.
