Pats and Genos offer other cheese too, its just not the norm. There is nothing better than a cheese steak wit wiz and fried onions yummy! Its a philly thing lol. The cheese wiz is even better on freach fries! For all those who haven't tried it, you really should, there is nothing like it! I am from philly, but i have a degree in culinary arts, so i've tried the cheesesteak many different ways. i even work for the guy who invented the $100 cheesesteak, and i still dont think there is anything better than the basic.

5/8 ... holy crap - 193 a year??? That's like eating one every other day. I guess I'm not too "average" when it comes to eating sandwiches.

Cheez Whiz is the original cheese for cheesesteak...Learn that from a TV show called "Sandwhich Paradise"

I'm pretty sure that Pat's and Geno's don't offer anything but cheez whiz on their sandwiches. You HAVE to have one.

No, I am a native born Philadelphian and I don't care for Cheez Whiz. Provolone or American, baby!

6/8 - not bad. As I was taking the test I was thinking of Joey from the tv show "Friends," -- mmmm sandwiches.

Only missed the grilled cheese one! And I had totally debated with myself about it too. Oh well. 7/8 is great!

4/8. Not good...and I second-guessed myself on the one about Dagwood, the loosemeat sandwich and the cheese in a cheesesteak - and got them all wrong!

It's all about the Cheez Whiz! But to clarify, it's not the aerosal can Cheez Whiz you're probably thinking of - there's a thicker, more like liquid cheese type that comes in a jar (like melted cheddar, basically). I want one now!!
