One of Philadelphia’s food specialities is the cheesesteak – typically thinly sliced ribeye, grilled and served up on an Amorosa roll, “wit or witout” onions, and topped off by a splash of Cheez Whiz.  Widely available and often imitated, arguably the best are found at the intersection of 9th and Passyunk in South Philadelphia at either Pat’s or Geno’s.

Before you dismiss Cheez Whiz as junk food, we have a few surprises for you.  Consider this article about processed foods and this one about the additional merits of the Whiz.
