Yeah Seattle area. I don't know of any local either.

Ever get a Blazing Bagels pastrami sandwich? Might need a nap afterwards but they're good.

I ate a cheesesteak in Philly and then went to the Franklin Fountain for a treat afterwards. It was a good sandwich but it wasn't something I would put as the best.

Best Philly I've had was actually in El Paso at a little sandwich shop called Maracas by the outlet mall. Thin sliced thin ribeye with mushrooms, onions and cheese. It was provolone. Incredible flavor he infused into those sandwiches. He ended up selling the shop and moving to Austin after his wife got a corporate job in Austin.

My favorite cheese wiz for cheesesteaks is the sharp cheddar that comes in the spray can in the cracker aisle. So unhealthy, but so delicious!

Enjoy!


Actually I always ask for mayo on my cheesesteak hoagies here in the Philly area. An ultra-delicious melding of the best of both worlds, a cheesesteak hoagie with mayo, lettuce, tomato, raw onion and hot and sweet(pickled) peppers is the best thing ever.

Whiz is kind of a tourist trap thing. A good cheesesteak has white American or provolone on it, I prefer American.


Me too, White American from the deli. Land O' Lakes makes very good white American.....I like steak, mushrooms, green peppers, onions on a toasted roll.

What you got?!

Y'know how when you order these things at restaurants or food stands, the beef is super super thin and almost all chopped-up-like? That's what I want.

It needs to be oozing with cheese and I'm thinking mayo or perhaps a garlic-mayo as well. Served piping hot.

UPDATE: 8 months later, and I finally made one!

And it was amazing.

I used thiny sliced beef from Trader Joe’s, green bell pepper, sweet onion, two slices of provolone cheese, and a slice of Colby-jack (just because).













It was EXACTLY what I needed. I think I might make another one tomorrow.


^ update in OP. Made it tonight. And it was excellent.

As someone who grew up in the Philadelphia metropolitan area, I have to say it's so funny hearing people from other parts of the country calling a cheesesteak a "Philly". No one here ever uses that term; it's just a "cheesesteak" or a "steak".

I sometimes call them that. Mostly I call it a steak and cheese though. I don't consider what they serve at Genos or Pat's a very good Philly, cheestake, or steak and cheese.

If you like them great, I'll pass. Plus no freaking way I'd ever get in the lines.

Word to the wise, if you have a business, any business, you can get a free restaurant depot membership and buy 10lbs of shaved steak for around $20-40 depending on the brand. As well as anything else in bulk you might want.

I did not slice my ribeye thin enough. But for my first try this went very well. It tasted very good!

I am guessing this is frozen? I was going to buy some shredded meat last night for mine. Then I read packaging. First strike did not specify what kind of meat it was, I wanted ribeye. Second strike was previously frozen and looked like it was originally packaged in January if I was reading date code correctly.



Correct, frozen. Most of it is unless you want to pay $8-10/lb or more.
