The Philadelphia Cheese Steak: How to Properly Order From Pat's Steaks!

Nothing like eating a Pat's King of Steaks Cheese Steak on a hot summer day in Philadelphia, PA. YUMMY. The cheesesteak, known outside the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania area as the Philadelphia cheesesteak, Philly Steak and Cheese, Philly cheesesteak, steak and cheese, or simply a Philly is a sandwich principally of thinly sliced pieces of steak and melted cheese on a long roll. A cheesesteak without cheese is locally called a steak sandwich, or a Philly Steak in other parts of the country.
The cheesesteak is a comfort food for natives of the Philadelphia region. It was invented in the city in 1930 and is considered to be a city icon along with other foods such as Tastykakes, water ice, the Philadelphia soft pretzel, hoagies, and scrapple.Philadelphians Pat and Harry Olivieri are often credited with inventing the cheesesteak by serving chopped-up steak on hoagie rolls in the early 1930s.[1] They began selling the concoctions at their hot dog stand near south Philadelphia's Italian Market. They became so popular he opened up his own cheesesteak restaurant in 1930. This restaurant still operates today as Pat's King of Steaks.
Pat's website calls the preparation a "steak sandwich" (not a "cheesesteak") and says that "as the years passed, both employees and customers alike demanded change ... cheese was added."[2] Joe Vento of Geno's, which is located directly across the street from Pat's, claims that he was the first to add cheese.[citation needed]
In 1952, Pat's added Cheez Whiz to their sandwich ingredients. Info from Wikapedia.
