Philadelphia, Wit Whiz

Cheesesteak by Wallyg via Flickr

**WARNING** For those of you who have yet to try a real Philly cheese steak, I implore you to not make the same mistakes as I have! Here is what you do:

• Order it with cheesewhiz, NOT the fancy white cheese alternative. If you, like I, find that wrong and indecent, too bad…the fancy white cheese is just too fancy for the steak
• Don’t go all crazy on the toppings. It’s not a pizza here…stick with fried or raw onions if you feel the need.
• Go to one of the best. Although the delicacy is sold all around Philly, try a Philadelphian recommended spot, or there’s always the famous Pat’s or Geno’s

This website can give you more details on how to not get beat up while ordering a cheesesteak. You should probably study up before coming to Philly…or risk looking like John Kerry in the Great Cheesesteak Debacle of 2003.
