Ohhhhh! THAT'S who you are! Thanks man. I hope your happy. I still to this day can't stand the site of mayo. In fact, I just threw up a bit in my mouth when I typed this. :vomit: Thanks again! Incidentally, I learned to never close my eyes again when someone offers me something to eat again.

I guess I could've learned from a much harsher lesson. Perhaps I owe you another "thanks" :vomit:

I bet you were thanking God for that in prison.

This poll is close becasue most of the people voting are so far away from Philly that they have never tasted a real cheese steak. Any steak purchased more than an hour outside of Philly probably needs to be slathered with every topping imaginable just to muscle it down.

I dunno. We have a cheesesteak place in town that makes them just how they're supposed to. They're greasy, drippy and the meat stands up on it's own. Fresh-baked bread, prime thin-sliced meat and Cheese Whiz (or your choice of cheese) and all the toppings you could want. A pretty good steak.

Did you ever eat one made within Philly city limits?

I am born and raised in philly...IMO mayo on a cheese steak is rediculous. The only thing that should be on a cheese steak is steak, cheese & onions.

In philly mayo is never standard unless you order a cheese steak hoagie...which is a cheese steak with mayo, lettuce & tomato. It's not traditional but some people like it.

Anyone near Philly who wants to try the best steak in the world should check out Steve's Prince of Steaks on Bustleton Ave in NE Philly. The best by far...their trick is to use liquified american cheese which gives you the consistency of cheese wiz but the taste of real american cheese...unbelievable!

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.

He goes so far as to say that most people don't like mayo on them, and that's where the arguement started.

So, what do you guys think? Do you put mayo on a cheesesteak?

I say that most people must like it and that's why Quizno's puts it on without asking. In fact, I feel like most places do that (I've never had a cheesesteak in Philly). If they put mayo on as a "default" topping most people must like it.

[if I knew how to start a poll I would, can someone help?]

Why is someone from Philly ordering cheese steaks at Quizno's? That's like someone from Nappa Valley buying wine from Nebraska...

[mredskins]

Quizno's doesn't even have a grill to cook the steak on it.

I've had a Geno's one. It was actually comparable all things considered.

Did you like Geno's? I'm interested to hear what a Philly outsider thinks. Somehow they've become the mecca of cheesesteak places here in Philly but I think they're way overrated. The meat comes out a little too thick and chunky for my tastes. They do so much business there that I think they're getting lazy with the slicing of the meat, trying to turn out the sandwiches as fast as possible. I like it to be sliced ridiculously thin.

I'm a big fan of Delissandro's, which is on the northern side of the city. Then there's a place near my house in the suburbs which makes a great one. In fact I think I'll hit that up for dinner tonight!
