A quick poll about Cheesesteaks

You gotta put mayo on the cheessteak sub. It mixes all up with the grease and gives your wrist that nice little white-washed streak.

I've never been to philly and dont give a rat's ass what some philly douchebag says about some steakum sandwich... put mayo on that shit and shut up...

I could see not ruining a ribye sandwich or prime rib sub... but steakums???

You might want to just drown it in ketchup and call it a day!

first of all, philly cheese staeks suck. no one puts cheese whiz on steak and declares its good. i see the mayo arguement this way, cheese steak no, cheese steak hoagie, umm um. yummy with mayo

i live right near philly and i've never even heard of anyone putting mayo on a cheesesteak...sounds pretty crappy

definitely no mayo

Yeah, me too and same here. :tongue

You're insane.

The cheesesteaks are the ONLY reason I'll go anywhere near Filthydelphia. It's the only good thing to come from Philly since Ben Franklin.

Sounds like bird poop. :)

A cheesesteak does not have Mayo on it.

BUT: I used to work at Jerry's sub shop. We had something called a "steak and cheese" that we'd eat with Mayo, Lettuce, Tomato, and hot peppers. It was good. But it wasn't a cheesesteak.
I'll buy this argument. While an authentic cheesesteak never ever has mayo on it (just some american or whiz and onions, maybe some peppers), a steak and cheese hoagie/grinder/sub has lettuce and mayo on it (tomato too if you want) and some grilled onions and usually provolone is the cheese of choice. most of the places outside Philly do not make it greasy enough, so the mayo is needed to make the sub a bit more wet.

That's why you basically coat the grill in shit loads of vegetable oil before grilling! MMMMMm.

well, if a place was just serving cheesesteaks, yes you could do this. however, with the cornucopia of offerings most other places present, having a shit load of veggie oil on the grill just isn't feasible.

This poll clearly reflects a non-Philly crowd's opinion of a cheesesteak. Many who are answering likely have never had an authentic cheesesteak from Philly. If I were eating the garbage they make down in Maryland and Virginia which they call cheesesteaks, I'd probably need mayo on it too!

Sorry to get all cheesesteak snob up in here, but jeez, mayo on a cheesesteak??


You are 100% correct.

YUMS in D.C. is the best place to go for a cheesteak in the area, sure you may get shot or stabbed ordering it, but it is well worth it.
