>> NO! Absolutely not! It may be what some latter day imbeciles *say* is traditional on a Philly cheese steak, but it's a bald-faced lie. Cheese steaks were invented back in the 1930s, long before Cheez Whiz first saw light of day or the fevered imagination of some food chemist. Traditional cheese for a cheese steak would be provolone. White American was probably a cheaper substitute at some point. Cheez Whiz is an abomination on a cheese steak. And, don't get me started on Southerners' strange idea that a cheese steak should have mayonnaise on it . . . shudder.

Oddly enough, the first time I ever had mayo on a cheesesteak was in....
wait for it... Philly!
It was a small sandwich shop that called it a Cheesesteak Hoagie and it
was a regular cheesesteak with lettuce, tomato, raw onions, sweet
pickled peppers and MAYO!
A friend of mine was so in love with the sandwich that he offered to buy
me one if I would try it.
I have to admit, it was pretty good.
