Since moving to California, I still haven’t even thought about venturing out to try to find a “philly cheesesteak”, because I know how much of a bitch I am about the “rightness” of how a real cheesesteak is supposed to be. One of the Meester’s coworkers was telling us about a place that he said seemed authentic, but I’m skeptical. I know I’ll walk in there and quiz them about their rolls, and everything else. Fuck that if I’m going to have a knockoff. One of the other coworkers just brought back a cheesesteak from this so called place. I had to see the roll, and right off the bat it’s not an Amoroso, so this place in my mind is OUT. Then he proceeded to do something to this steak that I swear to dog…. I’m still all wobbly and weak just thinking about it. I don’t know if I can go on….
He put MUSTARD ON HIS CHEESESTEAK!!!!!
That’s like, the most ultimate form of sacrelige. I think I’m going to curl up in the fetal position and cry now.

Bleck. That made me gag!
Good luck on your search.
mmm Mustard.
errrr…gross.
Mustard? That’s….evil.
You think that is gross? In Holland we put mayonaise on our french fries…that’s right, no ketchup, but mayonaise. It is a real grease fest.
I was desperate enough to get one from Subway the other night. *sobs* It’s been that long…
If I were to head to Philly for a day trip, where would I go to get the best cheesesteak. Think proximity to the airport and ease of finding it. Also.. how do you order it. Is there a certain lingo?
The terrorists have already won.
I’m with Tiffanie. The best cheesesteak within easy reach of the airport is…?
Mustard?? NO NO NO NO NO!! And I am a true lover of mustard – but it does.not.belong.on.a.cheesesteak! Ham & swiss? I’m all over it. Not a cheesesteak! Just ew.
clearly you have not tried to get a cheesesteak in virginia. not only do they not use Amoroso rolls here, but they put mayo, lettuce and tomatoes on unless you tell them not to. don’t get me started on the cheese…
and people look at me funny when i throw a fit.
mustard…on a cheesteak?
that’s not right at all. Might as well put mayo on it as well. Heck. while your at it put swiss on it.
hey just to let you know i have found places here in cali that have good cheese steaks, not sure if they are in your area though b/c i am cooler in THE OC BABY !!!
….lol…. but there is this place called phillies best and they order their stuff right from philly and they will tell you all about it if u ask them .. and some chinese people i tried have made some good ones . born and raised northeast philly (lawncrest) – till i die ……. if u wish it they will come , but just don’t go to LA to get them
