Talk:Pat's King of Steaks

Traditional Cheez Whiz???

As much as the owners of Pat's and Geno's would like everyone to think that a Philadelphia cheese steak is suppose to use Cheez Whiz (because that's what they've been using in recent years), 99.99999% of all other Philly steak shops typically use American cheese. If you simply walk into a local neighborhood shop and say, "yo, one cheese steak", the owner assumes American unless you specify otherwise. I've never had the pleasure of eating a cheese steak outside of Philly, so I don't know what is done in other parts of the country, but I've had cheese steaks all over Philly, and its only at Pat's and Geno's where that nasty Cheez Whiz stuff is the rule. How long has Cheez Whiz been around, anyway? 10 or 15 years? Pat's has been making steak sandwhiches since 1930, and they've come with cheese since at least the 1960s. There is nothing "traditional" about Cheez Whiz. func(talk) 00:14, 20 Oct 2004 (UTC)

I, an outsider, was suprised that my Pat's cheese steak contained the aforementioned liquid hydrogenated death. But more importantly, this Kerry thing reeks of proximity. That is, it's temporal proximity is it's sole merit besides the facts that it involves cheese steaks, and that Kerry is, in general, an important person. All references to Kerry ought to be removed, as, if the page detailed every instance of a person eating a cheese steak, or even every instance of a person making a cheese steak faux pas, it would be utterly useless, not to mention long. -11/22/04

Ordering Order

The order in which patrons specify the items to be included on their steak is incorrect as written. The first portion of the order is the type of cheese desired (e.g., "Whiz"), the second whether onions are to be added (e.g., "Wit") or not ("Witout").
