New York has better cheesesteaks!!! New York has better food!!! New York is a better city!!!

Philly cheesesteak is completely overrated nothing one of a kind at all.

I never had good Pizza Bagels Hot Dogs in Philly either.

Most people find cheeze whiz on a cheesesteak nasty, Don't know how they like that in Philly.

New York style cheesesteak with peppers onions american cheese little mayo thats the best!!!

Its a really simple thing to make. I don't see why a cheese steak would be in better in one area or another. Unless they use cheese wiz because that is disgusting.

you don't ever have to eat cheez whiz, you can get a different cheese. I like it sometimes when I am in the mood. However, just to set the record straight, cheez whiz is most definitely a product of the old snack food capital of the world, Chicago.

Fun fact, the guy who invented cheez whiz was also a food scientist that helped invent the McDonald's French Fry.

Buffalo Chicken Cheesesteaks with blue cheese are pretty awesome. Along with cheesesteak hoagies.

Ishkabibble's is pretty good, but I agree that a good Cheese steak could be made anywhere, as well as pizza.

Every city has poor bread compared to Philly. The bread is a large portion of why the steak is only great in Philly.

Yeah, it's not that easy. Bread is a huge component, as is type of meat, technique, etc

So many places just butcher them or they start off good and then die from their own success as quality drops

Just like pizza is a simple thing with great variance. Philly pizza just wasn't good when I was living there

Wings are another that there is a lot of variance despite being straight froward

You're like a troll with a teenage ego. The topic was about food, and you jumped to women? I'll give NYc the gyro, and hot dog Grey's Papaya was really good. And maybe steakhouses.

How can Philly have the best cheesesteak when they put cheesewiz on the sandwhich which ruins it?

No one likes cheesewiz on their cheesesteak unless their from Philly and most of America thinks that's nasty.
Wtf? That's how I can tell you went to the wrong places when you start talking about cheese wiz. If you went to a place, and they're asking if you want, "wiz wit or wit out?" you've failed miserably. Lmao! There's Ishkabibles on South St., Max's, D'Alessandro, Paganos, and just about any local corner papi store(bodega as NYc would say), with better tasting cheesesteaks than a tourists joint. Real Philadelphians order it with fried onions, spk, mayo, and maybe green peppers with American cheese NOT cheese wiz. Hahaha!!!!! If you go to the soft pretzel company they actually can make your pretzel without as bunch of salt you just gotta ask. But if you go to a soft pretzel stand they're already hauled in salty.

Okay. This the 3rd troll comment, you've just repeated it 3 times. Lol Oh and South St you have the huge slices at Lorenzo's just like a slice in Brooklyn. And, IMO the slice I had in BK was too greasy. Grease was running off my pizza, and the plate was wet from grease. So, no! We also have the best water ice made anywhere. Not that crap that ppl call snow cone, or Italian ice. Chopped up flavored ice is NOT water ice. Lmao

You do realize that your responding to a post from a troll account from 5 years ago that also hasn't posted since that exact same time right? Its kind of pointless bro.
