Having lived in California for 52 years of my 60+ years, I wonder what makes this cheese steak get that designation?

Lettuce, tomato, and mayo

I did not see the earlier lettuce comment.  Lettuce on a cheese steak, that is totally unacceptable.  That is like putting lettuce on Nacho's!

Lettuce, tomato, and mayo on a cheeseburger is also known as a California cheeseburger, and if you put it on a long roll it is known as a California cheeseburger sub

Lettuce belongs in a salad.   

Picked up a Jersey Mike's giant size Big Kahuna steak sandwich - beef, lots of cheese (American), grilled peppers, onions, mushrooms, and jalapenos.  I have not had this sandwich in over 5 years, and have not had a cheese steak in over a month.

The only hot one I ever get from there is the Reuben. Pretty solid. Don't believe I've tried the cheese steak.

Stopped and grabbed a cheesesteak at Wawa (regional gas station mega convenience store) on my way home from the brewery on Friday night.

We have those somewhat around here.  Have to go more towards Mt Pilot to find one...How was it?

Better than Subway, but not something I would eat regularly.

Never had a Subway cheese steak...I think I tried to stay away from beef products at Subway after my one and only meatball sub!

Nice video on some cheesesteak bun baking in Philadelphia.

I saw the headline for that story in my news feed earlier today but didn't watch it.  Thanks for sharing.  I thought it was a great story.  Some interesting equipment that he has.

I am not sure of the style of the guys raw meat.  At 1st I though the balls were ground beef, that won't work.  Then it looked some what food processor(ed).  I like to chop up my beef during cooking and blend in the fixins to finish it, so I get what he was doing with the onions.  Can't be pulling cheese out of a dish and putting it on the bread 1st, that is not for me. 

Glad to hear he had hundreds of failures!  Don't feel quit as bad!

A lot of Philly places use a cheese sauce versus melting cheese slices

You mean Whiz?  I know that is an option and is put on with a mustard stick, but that looked like melted Provolone he was putting on!
