Interesting. I like the chopped up meat technique better. You can get the slices of American cheese to melt together with the meat, and the meat juice tends to ooze into the cheeze while it's cooking. You get a real homogenous flavor, the meat has cheese flavor and the cheese has meat flavor.

When you go to Geno's the standard issue is the chunks of meat cooked wit onions or without, and then served in a cheesesteak, and then the wiz is thrown on top. There's no blending of flavors there. It's just meat topped with cheese wiz. I like it cooked together better. Plus the Geno's meat isn't exactly prime rib, I think that's what gets me. It's chunky and meaty, but not that easy to bite through.

I think it was Dmek who said cheeze-wiz on a cheesesteak was terrible? I happen to agree. A lot of Philly people love the wiz, but I'd much rather throw a couple slices of American on that bad boy.

You can get the chopped up kind all over philly though and to me they all sort of taste the same. They are good...but I just the thin slice technique is more authentic. Trust me if you like American Cheese on your steaks you must try Steve's Prince of Steaks and get thier liquid american cheese on there...try and let me know if you still like Delasandros better. To each his own though...as long as you are eating a genuine Philly cheese steak and not ruining it with Mayo or ketchup then it's all good to me.
