History shows that they were first introduced using chipped steak, good rolls, and either Provolone or American cheese, not whiz - whiz wasn't introduced until much later. Even the late owner of Geno's says that a "real" steak is with Provolone or American. Also, where I grew up in Philly, it was unheard of to use whiz. I guess I could say that a real Philly cheese steak to ME (and most of my family, friends, etc) is how I described. Thanks for posting and offering your opinion!!Mary Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14955260596820276848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5216504368345356266.post-58901953288640198062011-08-28T11:29:36.649-04:002011-08-28T11:29:36.649-04:00well I have to disagree.

What is and is not a true philly cheesesteak is a myth. I asked several born and raised philly friends of what one is and I got 11 different answers.<br />Nice article but I would have to say you, or no one is a real philly cheesesteak expert because there is no such thing. If you like it, eat it and if its good, then its real.<br />I can use Sauce, or gravy as another example. Us Italians have so many variations that no one is authentic, or philly style, or NY style etc. My family came from 2 different regions of Italy and the food from both regions are very different while somewhat similiar.Dante'noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5216504368345356266.post-7908846084241877872009-09-18T10:53:43.154-04:002009-09-18T10:53:43.154-04:00cheesesteaks are on my menu this week but I didn&#...cheesesteaks are on my menu this week but I didn't get to it.
