Mary,

The way my Sis-in-law (born and raised in Philly) described it to me is
that Philadelphians are basically divided into two camps when it comes to
the better cheesesteak. She served me my first two (in one sitting)
American cheesesteaks. I've rarely crossed the line since then. Cheez Whiz
just adds a more salty taste, imho.

You take quality meat, a fresh Italian roll and fried onions then apply
over-processed Cheez Whiz to it? There's the joke/sadness/crime of it,
imho.

One rule that's universally agreed upon is a good cheesesteak doesn't need
ketchup, only dry ones, which should be returned for a refund instead.

Best,

Andy
