"Unlike most Cheese steak places in Philly, Lorenzo's pours the Whiz on top of the meat while it is still on the grill. When the meat is finished cooking a hoagie roll is used to clean up the grill."

"One steak with Whiz please!"

"This was the cheesiest steak we had after sampling over 10 steak sandwiches in one day!"
