The Evolution of The Philly Cheese Steak by Kris

The Philly Cheese Steak is the God of all sandwiches in my mind. As you would probably think the sandwich was invented in the city of “Brotherly Love”, Philadelphia. Pat's King of Steaks is often credited with inventing it. Its was first served as chopped beef with melted cheese whiz on a hoagie, but now there are billions of variations to making a cheese steak. The King of Steaks says the best way to serve a cheese steak is to put cheese whiz & onions on the beef and serve it
on a hoagie. His rival though, across the street, says otherwise, Geno's says you gotta serve it with American cheese, along with fried onions, green peppers, and mushrooms on the steak.

If you're asking me how I like it, its totally different from both of them. I like it with mozzarella cheese, fried onions & raw whole sliced tomatoes on chopped steak with a french bread(yummy!!). Some other variations are cheese steaks served with chicken, buffalo wing sauce, and blue cheese. Its often called the “chicken cheese steak”. What started as a sandwich made by mistake has grown into a national phenomenon being served in little “hole in the walls” and all the way up to the classiest restaurants in the U.S.. So now you know about America's favorite sandwich, and if you ever happen to be in the city of “Brotherly Love” just stop by and you can proudly say I went to where the first Philly Cheese Steak was made!
