Totally bullshit because they call it a "Philly" in the commercial (that's a good philly!)

Noone in Philly calls a cheesesteak a Philly. I mean, come on. Also no whiz.

Came here to say this. It's not a "Philly,' or a "Philly Cheesesteak." It's a cheesesteak. Or a 'steak. In fact, please don't say "Philly" at all. It's Philadelphia. That's like calling San Francisco "San Fran" or "'Frisco." Nobody that lives there says that.

God I hate that commercial.

Also, cheese whiz shouldn't be on a cheesesteak. They didn't start using that shit until the 70's/80's. Provolone, maybe american.

And green peppers never come on a cheesesteak unless you ask for them (nobody does). I don't know why places serve "Phillys" this way.
 
Arbys always sounds so good until I eat it. Then the new 6-12 month cycle of gradually forgetting the terrible food begins.

Ugh. Cheesesteaks are the worst food I have ever had the displeasure to have. :|

Go to the right places next time. It's a world of difference where you go. The Whiz goes a long way, as just one example.

I had this thing from Arby's though, and it was terrible. Not just compared to real Philly cheesesteaks mind you. Only thing I get from Arby's is the garden fresh turkey bacon ranch, and that's about it if I'm really hard up for something to eat.
 
Only 2 fast food places worth eating at (chik-fil-a and arbys)

Yeah, it's not really a philly cheese steak but my god it's fucking amazing, i had one a few days ago and plan on having one tomorrow when i pick up batman.

Provolone over cheez whiz? lol no..
 
I have been on the fence about trying one of these. Every time I go there thinking "this time ima get one", I end up just ordering my usual.

Yes. If you think cheese whiz makes a better steak you are either a fat slob or a tourist.

Yep. Any cheese will suffice as long as it's not cheese whiz. Seriously brahs. I've been studying cheesesteaks for the past six years of my life in Philadelphia. No anyone with any self respect looks down on cheese whiz.

You can't even read your own article.
Wrong on both accounts.

Calling Whiz a killer conjures up clogged artery jokes. But, in fairness, Whiz - mostly whey, vegetable oil and milk products - is lower in saturated fat than American or provolone. Provolone is second-lowest, but lowest in sodium.

"The yellow runny goo, though, is the top choice of his customers, the locals as well as tourists, he said."

The problem with whiz isn't whether it's bad for you--the problem is that whiz tastes like shit. :P

Cheesesteaks topped with queso = OMFG

Nobody says Philly? Why is the website you linked to in your post after that from something called Philly.com? Is that not from people in Philadelphia? And sorry, but if cheese whiz has been on cheesesteaks since the 70's or 80's, and people have liked it for 30 to 40 years, I think it deserves to be an option on a cheesesteak.
 
had one last friday and I wasnt really impressed at all. Its just a big roast beef sandwich with cheese, peppers and onions. The french dip or corned reuben are the best items at arbys.

plus, I HATE their fries.

oh, philly connection is better

I'm born and raised in Philadelphia and can tell you we all do in fact say "Philly" at least as much as we say the full name.
