Nov 17, 2014Mastering Philly’s Cheesesteak Scene
From a national perspective, the cheesesteak is nothing more than a piece of the caricature of Philadelphia. However, to many of the natives of the city, these sandwiches are a serious matter. Throughout the years, rivalries emerged and battle lines have been drawn as deep as the Schuylkill River that runs through the city. Discussions of what ingredients make up the perfect steak is fodder for endless debate — Amoroso or Vilotti-Pisanelli rolls; whiz or provolone. Getting served can be a ruthless experience for the newcomer. Some places require the customer to bluntly give their order by stating their cheese of choice followed by “wit” or “wit-out” to communicate if they want onions. Whether this to speed up the endlessly long lines, or to add to the mythos of cheesesteak culture, remains unclear.
