Am I the only one here who buys and uses Steak-ums for my cheese steaks?

THAT is Cheesesteak blasphemy!! Shame on you!!

I'm with the crowd that says using steak-umm or any of that sort of product is cheesesteak blasphemy! However, if you are going to use that frozen sliced beef product, the key is to break it up before you fry it up or chop it up in the frying pan as it's cooking. Don't keep the slices whole.
And really...a real Philly cheesesteak is a roll, steak (get a butcher to chip some rib eye) and cheese (whatever your preference but a true Philly cheesesteak is with whiz). Fried onions are acceptable.
Other than that...I think Jagafen hit the nail on the head...BLASPHEMY!!

Think I'll go get one right now. Saturday's are always hoagies or cheesesteaks for lunch in our household.

Speaking of hoagies. Thats another thing that you can't get anywhere else but in Philly. You can try and duplicate it but it wont be the same.

Oh my gosh...after posting I saw my trip ticker and my heart skipped a beat.
I'm so excited!! I'm surprising my DDSweet16 by flying her best friend from Chicago to meet us at DW for her sweet16 present!! She has no idea!!
If you will be at DW in a few weeks and see 3 16yo girls walking around with tiaras and pink boas, that will be my DD and her friends!!
