Growing up in Philadelphia, I had my share of cheesesteaks. I'd never
buy one from Subway no matter how desperate I was. I've seen the
ingredients and they are nothing like the real deal.

The other sandwiches are a poor imitation of a good Philly hogie too.
I'm amazed that they have so many locations and as a corporation seem
to be doing very ewll.
