So, I'm gonna make some cheesesteaks for dinner tonight. Is Cheez Whiz everybody's favorite cheese for cheesesteaks?

I had one made like that from Steve's Prince of Steaks in Philly after drinking beer. Even thinking about sinking my teeth into one again gives me goosebumps.

... Cheeze Whiz isn't cheese - but I ain't gonna dog-breath it
|
|
Favorite? I have never heard of anyone actually doing this. Pics or it didn't happen.

No, anything is better than wiz.
American is what most places use around here. I prefer provolone, put it over the cooked meat, split roll and put it on top. Melty goodness. |

What the fuck White American and maybe add some good shredded Mozzarella with it. Meat+cheese+meat. I fold it over and over as not to burn the cheese until the cheese is completely melted. ETA: I go to the local Jimmy John's and get a couple of fresh loafs of bread. Depending on our cravings, I may butter it and toast the open face to a golden/light brown. All the veg is sautéd in unsweetened butta. Onions to a beautiful golden brown I remove the tops of the peppers gut them and boil them for about five minutes before cutting them and sautéing. |

Never new about the whiz though.
I'll be looking into this tonight on the intraweb. |

I like to get down on 2x extra sharp provolone on a 2x meat steak with mushrooms and a fuckton of onion

I always thought whiz was the only way to get a true philly style cheesesteak. Sandwich place I go to uses white American I believe.

If you order a cheese steak in Philly and don't specify NOT whiz, guess what it's made with? Every cheesesteak is a whiz steak. I always ordered mine with provolone. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes |

Traditional cheesesteaks (wit wiz) are far from the best cheesesteaks

http://i.imgur.com/YMC6hSf.gif Geno's owner Joey Vento, 68, downplays Whiz. "To be honest with you, I've never eaten Cheez Whiz, and I'm the owner," he said. "... We always recommend the provolone. ... That's the real cheese." The yellow runny goo, though, is the top choice of his customers, the locals as well as tourists, he said. Ditto at Pat's King of Steaks, where Whiz oozed its way into history, said owner Frank Olivieri Jr., 44. Originally, the Philly steak sandwich, invented by his Uncle Pat in the early 1930s, had no cheese, he said. By and by, cheese was introduced. "Customers got tired of eating with or without onions, just like my Uncle Pat got tired of eating hot dogs," Frank Jr. said. American or sharp provolone? was the original debate, he said. In the mid 1950s - not long after Cheez Whiz hit the market - his father, Frank Sr., began keeping some by the grill, and telling customers to try it.

Cheese whiz is gross, traditional or not. It's gross.
Good thing there are other options. http://www.patskingofsteaks.com/ordering.html |

The '50s go back for enough for Whiz to be authentic. Or you can continue to eat your bland cheese cheesesteaks and miss out. View Quote I bet you only ask for a lager, like the real authentic locals do Attached File |

I went to Philly for work a few years ago, had some of the local guys take me down to get a cheesesteak. Went to Pat's, they told me to go "wiz wit" to get a true "authentic" Philly Cheesesteak. I just remember thinking "wow, if this is how a real Philly Cheesesteak is supposed to be, I don't think I like Philly Cheesesteaks."
When I make them at home, it's usually with left over tri-tip. So thin sliced tri-tip, pepperjack & mozarella for cheese, green bell peppers and onions all go in a cast iron skillet and get grilled/melted together, then thrown on a nice thick sandwich roll with plenty of chipotle mayo. Not "authentic", but way better tasting in my opinion. |

Best Philly style cheesesteak I ever had was comprised of a couple cheeses including a layer of nacho cheese.
The meat was so flavorful, the cheese oozed out, the peppers were spectacular...it was just...amazing. |

Every 'famous' cheesesteak place I ate at in Philly used cheese whiz. Pat's, Chink's, etc. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

No. It won't. OP is so wrong, he doesn't even wanna be right. Ironically the two best cheese steak I ever had were made in Trenton. One was at a lil hole in the wall called Kelvys. They had this magic stuff they shook on and would never tell you what brand of cheese they used. You could buy the shake on seasoning blend from them for $15 a pound though. The second was a place called Pats, no relation to the one in Philthy though. Their specialty was an actual Delmonico steak 3/8" thick with cheese on top on a Kaiser roll. |
