We have a chain of shops here called, "The Philly Cheesesteak Shop" and they are delicious!

http://www.cheesesteakshop.com/

They use Amoroso's rolls from Philly and they claim they are authentic. I know the "authentic" way in Philly to eat them is with Cheese Whiz on them but that sounds gross to me.

The shops here use white American cheese and I love em! My favorite food.

see, the way I know it, a 'cheezewit' is a cheesesteak with the spray cheese. Cheese steak is the real cheese kind.
What I cant stand is when resturats sell cheesesteaks and there that like, london broil steak crap

and I was JUST about to get up and get a tasteykake when you mentioned them!

From Lansdale, now in Clarksville, TN.

You don't realize how much you miss a good Steak Sandwich or Hoagie until you move away from the Philly area. When you go into a place and ask for a cheesesteak with sauce and onions, they look at you like you've got three heads or something. I'm with MikeV, a cheesesteak with Cheez Whiz on it sounds truly vile!

So tell me guys, is what I said true?

Is Cheese Whiz on a cheesesteak the traditional way to eat them in Philly?

I saw a Food Network show once (I think it was Throwdown with Bobby Flay) and they had a guy from Philly making them and he said what I posted above about Cheese Whiz being the way people expect them in Philly.

I couldn't eat one that way.
