Today's poll: cheese on cheesesteaks

A new selection needs to be added for Massachusetts politicians: swiss cheese.

I voted provolone, BTW.

With that particular group from Mass, I was expecting the cheese of choice to be brie. And a nice Chardonnay to wash it down.

I prefer Swiss, but that wasnt a choice..
So, the default was Provolone.

Very sharp provalone

provolone.
there's no discussion.

cheesewhiz of course but yellow american works as well, occasionally I enjoy provolone on a steak. Unfortunately I don't have many places to chose from down here but when I lived in the land of cheesesteraks I don't recall specifying what kind of cheese taking what was served as that stores version although I remember some places did ask

............ hold on I'll call Michael Hoffman

DON'T YOU DARE!!!
okay, but growing up in south jersey, all we ever asked for
was provolone.

While it may be cheeze, Wiz is not cheese.

To paraphrase Fran Liebowitz, no cheese followed by "food" goes well with wine. And that includes Ripple and malt liquor.

Well, I would try the cheez whiz thing if it were available. It's hard enough to find even a bad cheesesteak in my area.

I too grew up in South Jersey, and the only kind that I ever had was American. Until of course I found Jims Steaks on South Street in Philly. Now it's only Wiz for me.

Ewwww on Wiz

Up with provolone

Stoned Wheat Thins with well aged cheddar, or cheshire, or caerphilly

Whiz-wit indeed!

Provolone or American will always do, but Whiz is always my first choice.

Here, where our cheesesteaks are primarily Italian- influenced, a cheesesteak is considered optimal if it is of thinly sliced ribeye, grilled green peppers, mushrooms and onions, a layer of Oliverio Italian Roasted Peppers in Sauce and oodles of provolone. The bun must be slathered on the inside with "grill juice" and lightly grilled. And we don't say cheesesteaks" we say "hoagies". Meatball and Italian Sausage hoagies are done similarly. HOWEVER, we also have a place called "Jersey Subs" that does more of an authentic Philly style cheesesteak and offers either Cheez Whiz or Provolone. They are quite good also, sans the use of the Oliverio peppers, but not as delightfully sloppy.

Can anyone guess my choice??

I am partial to the white cheeses...provolone..swiss...Mozz...etc
Pam

Count me among the whiz wit.

Provie!!!

Whiz when in the Philly area, American or Provie anywhere else

WHIZ WIT PLEASE

There is nothing like a cheese steak, dress it up any way you want. My favorite is just as the name says "Cheesewit". But what is with the 10% who have never had one. Are we talking vegans or what.

Just asking.
