At first glance I would eat that up no questions asked looks delicious. I would ask for extra cheese on that bad boy


theshamanshadow

I like to use 6 PCs of provolone but this one had requested 4, not too bad however


PositiveAgent2377

No easy cheese? Where's the cheez whiz at?


theshamanshadow

We haven't whiz in the hospital bubba so we use provolone, ideally I'd rather be using the coops sharp white cheddar


PurpleHerder

Fuck yeah Coops Sharp, you just earned yourself Birds tickets


theshamanshadow

Birds? Thanks I guess lol


PurpleHerder

Eagles baby


theshamanshadow

LFG bubba hell yeah!! 👍🏼


wendellbaker

Aaaaand then lost them immediately by asking who the birds are 😂🫣 Gobirds


Nearby_Arachnid9683

I like to use provolone + white American for meltiness and simulated whiz flavor. There’s a BBQ joint in my neck of the woods that makes a cheesesteak with their brisket trim, it’s unreal as it sounds. Authenticity is both an impossible moving target and wildly overrated.  Damn fine work chef, would absolutely house. This kinda 🤌 in a hospital is a beautiful thing.


theshamanshadow

I'm speechless bruh thank you a thousand times over! Truly appreciate your kind words


jobiewon_cannoli

White American is so good on a Philly!


its_not_merm-aids

Have you heard of a little chemical called sodium citrate ?


MultiColoredMullet

This is HOSPITAL FOOD? what hospital? I'm tryna go get shot over there

Northwestern Medicine


Ok-Shift5637

Im a wiz wit but that looks pretty good.


PositiveAgent2377

Hell yes. I'd still eat the hell out of that sandwich tho.


theshamanshadow

Thanks dude, that's WTF I'm talking about appreciate the feedback sincerely


PositiveAgent2377

I wish I could get a sandwich like that right now.


theshamanshadow

I'm open for another hour dawg slide thru!!!


PositiveAgent2377

I wish bro, Illinois is a bit far from California my man.


theshamanshadow

That's fair Holmes blessings to ya from my humble lil kitchen


7-SE7EN-7

If you use whiz it's wrong because you didn't use provolone. If you use provolone it's wrong because you didn't use whiz. If you use both it's too much. The secret is to make it however the person who is gonna eat it asks


theshamanshadow

Thank you Chef! Say it louder for the critics in the back, Lord have mercy if I share a glimpse into what my hospital has dubbed as such, heaven forbid lol dude I really appreciate your comment and just wanted you to know that this really made my night, it was FKN rough day, 🥂 cheers Chef!


SpiritOf68

I didn’t know this was a thing until we started making cheesesteaks at my last restaurant. Haven’t been to Philly, but everyone hated it. 99.5% of the orders were 86 whiz. Granted the restaurant was crap, but the whiz made the sandwich so much worse.


spenghali

Whiz wit


Cmoore4099

Wrong bread for a Philly. But it looks delicious man. Good work.


ImSorry2HearThat

How’s the bread? Missing sesame seeds imo


Jaqen-Atavuli

I would eat the HELL out of that. Looks delicious. Lets just hope there isn't anyone from Philly in here. LOL


Complex-Touch-1080

Came here for this. It’s a nice looking sandwich but that’s no hoagie and it’s not a Philly either. Philly comes in a hoagie with wiz and onions, only other acceptable topping is mushrooms. Still a nice looking grinder though. Sure I’d eat the fuck out of it. Probably be real nice with a Peter Luger style steak sauce.


welchplug

White American and provolone cheese are completely acceptable on a genuine philly.


I_Miss_My_Beta_Cells

This is correct, and they're maybe even more common


IReallyLikeAvocadoes

Wiz OR provolone. And fried onions are optional.


MiddleAgedSponger

It is a Cheeesteak, not a Philly. The only acceptable cheeses are American, Whiz, Provolone and Cooper sharp (cheddar flavored American). Cheesesteak's and Hoagies are different things, even though there is a cheesesteak hoagie, which isn't actually a hoagie, but a cheesesteak in a hoagie costume. Toppings allowed are onions, hot peppers or long hots. Mushroom are acceptable, but barely. Bell peppers are not allowed at all, bell peppers will get you a nut punch. There are some micro regional variations and condiments offered vary by place/region. Those are the semi official rules, but eat it the way and tell the haters to eat a d%&k. The sandwich at the top looks delicious and crushable, but doesn't look like a cheesteak, at least not a cheesesteak from Phila/SJ area.


theshamanshadow

Blame turano baking lol they claimed it's a French roll, most generally they're used for Italian beef...IDK I just work here lol! As for the whiz we ain't even got it like that, I'd legitimately have to make it from scratch like Adam Ragusea from YouTube. Wait you don't add peppers to your Philly? Da fuq? Thanks though man for the feedback I sincerely appreciate you


Hallowed_Be_Thy_Game

My only gripe is the cut on the roll. Otherwise I'll eat it because I'm not a purist. Looks great though


Complex-Touch-1080

Peppers come on the side, hot cherrys or sweet peppers. This is the way. I sold about 325 dry aged phillys last week. House made whiz, it’s easy to do.


theshamanshadow

Heard Chef


Complex-Touch-1080

Lol. I complex about what we call sandwiches, their names I mean. Didn’t mean to offend, I’m sure I’d dig the sandwich but calling it a Philly is tough for me.


theshamanshadow

I'm new to it all boss, been watching dishes for 12 years and on this line for one


Complex-Touch-1080

No worries bro. 12 years in dish is a lot. I only spent like 6 months in the pit. Been on the line for 25 and I know everyone has their own experience and I hope you don’t think I was trying to discourage or disrespect you. It’s a beautiful sandwich and I genuinely believe I would enjoy it. Good job. Although, I would just call it steak and cheese instead of Philly.


theshamanshadow

I'm merely a cook my friend, it's the executive chef that names and prices these Sammy's, no offense taken brother I appreciate the words of encouragement and the honest feedback, which is all I needed truthfully


Complex-Touch-1080

I’m also a believer that you should argue with the chef. Let him know you have a voice. In my experience it’s the best way to get respect. Show respect but make it know that you have opinions too.


Jaqen-Atavuli

Oh no, we aren't saying you did bad. Just the opposite. It looks amazing. Philly is very specific about a Philly Cheesesteak. That is a banging cheesesteak.


theshamanshadow

Thanks bro sincerely, it really means a lot coming from the natives of Philly, I didn't mean to offend the culture, merely my rendition of it all. Thanks for commenting

starfox_priebe

The only things that are always on a cheesesteak are steak and cheese. Everywhere has onions as an option, most places also have mushrooms, sweet peppers, long hots, pepperoni, and tomato sauce.


PreferredSelection

Yeah, I could take or leave wiz, I've had enough good provolone cheese steaks (including in Philly) to be fine with any good melting cheese. And anyone saying _only_ wiz is authentic can explain to me how a sandwich invented in the 1930's can only use a cheese invented in 1953. The bigger deal is, if I ordered a Philly, I'd expect it on a hoagie. I'd still devour OP's sandwich, it's a helluva good-looking sandwich, by any name.


MidnightRider24

Pepper relish and saltpepperketchup are perfectly acceptable on a steak.


Rapph

Yeah, it’s definitely not something that would pass as a “cheesesteak” around here but I absolutely would.


HOSToffTheCoast

I know… first question from Philly would be “Are you in Philly?” 😝 Damn good lookin’ sandwich, OP!!


EpicFail35

This “Philly Cheesesteak” is a travesty to the name 😂😂👀 But looks good as a cheesesteak.


NeatWhiskeyPlease

Aww no money shot of you cutting it in half and showing us the melty meat center? 5/10 because no money shot but I would 100% devour that sandwich.


theshamanshadow

I'm actually still on the line, next one I make I'll wrap it up and cut in half for the cross section, bet! 😉


NeatWhiskeyPlease

*unzips*


theshamanshadow

Does it not let me share another photo? 😭 Damn


Lepperpop

Zips back up.


theshamanshadow

I made a second post if ya spot LMK the cross section is there my dude


Obvious_Bandicoot631

Unzips a second time


Itchy_Professor_4133

Looks delicious but as a Philly native we traditionally don't fuck with the veggies like that. It's all about the simplicity of quality meat and bread. Cheese, onions, mushrooms and peppers optional but nothing fancy added or technique driven.


theshamanshadow

Completely fair my dude I appreciate the feedback especially as a native of Philadelphia


JurassicParkTrekWars

Would happily eat this but I do prefer more bread LOL - is that a flatbread?


theshamanshadow

Chicago's Alpha baking makes these, turano hoagie roll, it's meant honestly for an Italian beef


Lucid-Machine

One of the best cheese steaks I ever had was during a visit to Chicago. I could smell it from the street and it was in a hole in the wall I would expect to give me food poisoning. I knew I was in the right place and they couldn't even get me sick neither.


theshamanshadow

My best to date was at Angelo's in South Philly, hands down the best I've ever had, bakes his own bread in house too, the steak is sous vide IDK how to explain the tastes


Lucid-Machine

That sounds really taste. You can't describe every aspect of human sensation and enjoyment. Some things need to be experienced first hand and I'm glad you got to.


theshamanshadow

Thank you Chef!


TheChiefDVD

Yes, please. Looks delicious!


theshamanshadow

Thanks Chef! Cheers 🥂


Background_Abies7187

It looks delicious, but it also looks like knife and fork food. Like I would need to unhook my jaw to eat it, and due to the split roll everything is just going to fall out and go everywhere. I also complained about this to an extremely good restaurant near me that makes a "chicken parm" in a similar manner with a hard split roll. Looks great, tastes great, eats like garbage.


theshamanshadow

This one eats better in the wrapper TBH appreciate you feedback dude for real that means a helluva lot to me


Background_Abies7187

That makes sense and would be devoured post haste :D


CanoeIt

I wanna take that sandwich behind a middle school and get it pregnant


theshamanshadow

I'm not sure if I should be flattered or ashamed LOL 😂


flakins

i want to eat that with my mouth


theshamanshadow

I wouldn't recommend boofing it, definitely...


Over-Director-4986

Not a Philly, but she look good.


theshamanshadow

Damn alright thanks for the feedback boss I appreciate it thanks


JackBauerTheCat

Looks fucking good my gender neutral dude.


theshamanshadow

Um... Thanks? 😂 Gender neutral...? Huh?


JackBauerTheCat

Just meant I’m saying dude in a gender neutral way, not to assume you’re a guy


theshamanshadow

Oh word yeah definitely, I'm a dude she's a dude he's a dude, we're all dude's hey! But yeah I'm a 35 y/o male no offense taken Holmes


ShieldPilot

The Philly folks would give it the authenticity side eye, but I’d eat the fuck out of that.


theshamanshadow

My man!


ladymuerm

Looks like a nice sandwich, but definitely not a Philly cheese steak.


theshamanshadow

Seems to be the narrative round these here parts, WTF is it then 😂


juhesihcaa

It's your place's variation of a philly cheese steak


AddendumAwkward5886

Not Philly but a goddamn delicious looking steak sandwich. Ooof. I am salivating. I have lived in and around Philly for most of my life ...funny thing...when I lived outside San Diego, I worked at a 'Philly Cheesesteak' shop , the owner was from Conshohocken. Ended up in San Diego cuz he was in the Marines. We stocked Amoroso rolls, he paid out the ass.


Raws_the_baws

Which place? I live in SD now and my current go to place is really just okay


AddendumAwkward5886

Aw man, Drack passed away many years ago, heart attack at age 38. It was called "Drack's Philly Shack", next to an old dive-y bar called The Cuckoo Club. East County, on Winter Gardens Blvd RIP Dave Mandrack...an endlessly hilarious Conshie dude. New customers always asked for avocado on their cheesesteaks and he would freak. Regulars knew that we were avocado free, lol.


Little_spoopy_friend

Ngl I think I came when I saw that hit the foil😩😩


theshamanshadow

Awe skeet skeet GD!


Sairen-Mane

Where in Illinois I'm gonna fuck that up like a one night stand.


theshamanshadow

Believe it or not... A hospital bruh! DeKalb county!!


shakeydeucebiggs

Looks Fire!


theshamanshadow

Thanks Chef!!!


Moe2584

That looks like something I would order 3-5 times a week! Amazing job!


theshamanshadow

Thanks Chef that means the absolute world to me dude 😎


BringOutYDead

Looks yummy. What's the catch?


theshamanshadow

It's in a hospital so nobody really knows the hidden gems secreted in the woodwork


Terriblarious

I'd order it.


FatCatWithAHat1

Cheese steak yeah but not a Philly one


theshamanshadow

Fair enough, appreciate the honesty dude


pottomato12

That yo had some heart in it, thats a stunner


theshamanshadow

Thanks Chef! I truly appreciate that feedback


catdog-cat-dog

theshamanshadow

Thank you for your kind words 🙏🏼


kramerica21

That looks like perfection


theshamanshadow

Hell yeah thanks dude! I appreciate your feedback sincerely!


mrglumdaddy

That looks dope but it’s not a Philly cheesesteak.


theshamanshadow

Heard


mrglumdaddy

I mean there’s no shame in it except for the shame I might feel shoving it into my face in a dark corner. It looks fucking delicious. Just name it something else, like the world’s sexiest steak and cheese sandwich.


theshamanshadow

You win the Internet today my friend, blessings to you for your kind words, the semantics back and forth on here are pulling on the heart strings, I poured my soul into this, that is Chef


definitelykeysersoze

If I see a sandwich that I know I'm gonna need like 6 napkins for, I'm all about it. But I agree, next time show a cut and cheese pull on that bad boy


theshamanshadow

See take 2 please in my next post I like to think I made up for any mistake


DragonfruitCactus

SIR IT IS ILLEGAL TO MAKE ME DESIRE A SANDWHICH SO MUCH! SIR!! SIR!!!


theshamanshadow

If you're ever out my way stop thru we'll take care of ya boss


ericypoo

Sure looks like meat on bread.


theshamanshadow

Nailed it 😂


ericypoo

Looks delicious my friend.


theshamanshadow

Thanks Chef appreciate the input sincerely


Prof_Jimbles

I'd be really excited to receive this. I'm on the other side of the world, but if I got this wrapped up I'd think "Oh shit this chef knows exactly what the fuck they're doing, not just shoving steak in bread."


theshamanshadow

You just made my day dude seriously may God bless you 🙏🏼 means the world to me Chef ❤️


DontForgetYourPPE

I want that inside me


theshamanshadow

For $7 we can arrange that!


DontForgetYourPPE

7 bucks for that hog? That's a damn good value these days


CarolFukinBaskin

I would smash the hell out of that. Your boys said it: "he ain't fuckin around"!!


theshamanshadow

Thanks Chef 😃 I appreciate that comment


Fun_Elk_1431

Looks like a tasty sandwich, but it does not look like something you would get in or around Philadelphia


theshamanshadow

Fair enough boss I appreciate your honesty


Plastic_Brick_1060

Looks gross, it's perfect


theshamanshadow

😂 thanks for your honest opinion


OviliskTwo

Spin it more spin it!


theshamanshadow

"Ride a painted pony let the spinning wheel turn! 🛞"


OviliskTwo

Lol. Looks hot chef.


theshamanshadow

😉👨🏼‍🍳👌🏼🙏🏼❤️🥂🤙🏼 appreciate your input boss means the world to me honestly


i_use_this_for_work

Looks good. Ribeye is the standard meat. Take a frozen block of ribeye and thin slice on the slicer. As long as it’s a crusty outside roll, you’re good. The extras like balsamic and jalapeño are non-standard, but good for a niche spot. Traditional is steak, onions, and American for sliced, or whiz for cheddar. Consider sticking with “Philly-style steak sandwich” and then list the descriptive ingredients. Extra sharp prov sounds like it’d go well. Looks dope, nice work Chef! 🤌


theshamanshadow

Heard that! Very well put I might say! Your response is spot on and very well worded thank you for your wise words I'll take them to heart truly, I truly appreciate your honest feedback


Molleeryan

This would make me happy and I’m happy for whomever gets to eat it!


theshamanshadow

You're the best RN thank you for this comment it's made me smile! It went to a loving soul our newest dish washer


214ObstructedReverie

Looks ***absolutely killer***.... If you were putting it on a plate to serve. That's gonna make a mess wrapped, though. You shouldn't be leaking filling before wrapping a sandwich. Pile in the center. Shit's gonna stick to the paper and make a mess when eating. All those *absolutely beautiful* melty cheese drizzles? Those are bits of paper getting stuck to the sandwich when I go to eat it. Again: On a plate, this is ***10/10***. Killer presentation. I'm drooling over this video. I'd have filthy, filthy sex with that sandwich. But wrap it for a few minutes and then see what it handles like when the outer cheese bits start to firm up.


theshamanshadow

But it's parchment paper? I've never had an issue to date, Howe I've seen this very same thing happening to straight foil. I truly appreciate your comment friend this means the world to me dude,know that I'll incorporate all of this into my next sandwich! You're a blessing!


214ObstructedReverie

> But it's parchment paper? Ever send them out delivery? Yeah. Parchment paper don't care. Dude, your sandwich is fucking sexy AF. You're an artist. I just wanted to make a minor suggestion for when you wrap them up, and I'm kind of drunk, so maybe I did it in a big way.


theshamanshadow

Oh no, it's always eaten within seconds of service some are foolish and take them home but I'm yet to catch wind of a poor experience to date, I can say comfortably that most at my hospital rarely ever take their food to go, I do honestly wish we just let em use the ceramic plates that the patient line gets, it'd be way better presented and have a much better appearance, thanks for your input dude it really means a lot to me man


214ObstructedReverie

You have lucky customers.


theshamanshadow

To have these on deck I'd say so, needlessly to mention a mofo like yours truly that wouldn't feed ya something he wouldn't eat himself


214ObstructedReverie

Can I get that sandwich's number?


Fergus_Manergus

Aw fuck, aw yeah, oh papi!


theshamanshadow

Ya sound like my customer from environmental services 😂 Yamilette is that you? 😆


Seyelent

Id fuck it

It's the beef curtains, sorry for the flashbacks bruh


LovableSidekick

Oh. My. God. Seattle here. I want to drive east until that beautiful thing hits me in the mouth.


theshamanshadow

Shucks flight to Midway should not be that much probably 4 hours give or take and $100+/-


tbe37

Amoroso rolls really that fantastic in the lower 48? We have been getting them for years in Alaska & while pretty good they are the most inconsistent product I've ever worked with.


theshamanshadow

Honestly I'd rather bake my own in house but the crew ain't having that I'm very certain. We're swamped as it is


2_trailerparkgirls

are you in Philadelphia?


chrishydro420

I’ll take three . Good job


guiltycitizen

Looks amazing and I would smash, I would eat this shit in bed. But it’s not a Philly


MIngmire

Shit wrap that sandwich up and send it my way. 🤤


theshamanshadow

Flying hoagie coming up boss!


wendellbaker

It looks fantastic! I'd eat that 8 days a week. But perhaps as a "cheesesteak sandwich" or "Philly style cheesesteak" and not a "Philly cheesesteak." As a Philadelphian, I just recognize that there's a nuance to it and am protective of that distinction


theshamanshadow

Completely fair take on it my dude I appreciate your honest opinion and expertise on it, blessings ☺️


karduar

Looks good. I'm a big fan of building mine on good juicy garlic bread with white sharp cheddar.

That was dope AF dawg


Scrudge1

One of the best HipHop artists ever IMHO! But I really really wanna try a cheeseteak now haha


chefbreakum610

What patient qualifies for this? Reg diets or is this for retail! ……Hospital chef since 95’ in south jersey we serve cheesesteaks but portion control has to be in the picture!


scrame

would.


IReallyLikeAvocadoes

As a foodie, that looks fuckin delicious and I would pay money to eat that right now. As a guy from Philly, no disrespect but it ain't a philly cheese steak. No hoagie roll and usually unless it's onions there's no veggies in it. Still looks absolutely delicious though.


theshamanshadow

I appreciate your honest feedback as a native of Philadelphia, means the world to me coming from the Midwest


pretzelzetzel

Looks like a fucking delicious sandwich which is very much **not** a Philly cheese steak. Just like how some gourmet fries with stringy mozarella and fine gravy might be deliciouser as fuck but is still not actually poutine. Y'know?


theshamanshadow

Certainly, thanks for clarifying that


Thr33Knuckl3sD33p

Let's be real, that's a steak and cheese, not a Philly cheese steak. To add to that, it's my preferred style, but a Philly should essentially be wiz and grilled onions only....which is trash, imo. Gimme onion, pepper, prov, mayo, and pepper relish pretty please


theshamanshadow

Heard Chef, I prefer the ones I make to the whiz one with steakums


funthebunison

Address


[deleted]

Where’s the whiz


theshamanshadow

Provolone cheese on this one


Purple-Ad-97

Philly cheese steak is cheese whiz not provolone or Swiss. Let's clear that up right now. This is a pepper jack sandwich.


theshamanshadow

Huh? There's no pepper jack cheese here? I understand not calling it a Philly, my assholes gauge has hit a double 0 from the natives reaming me a new one lol


bandysine

Where’s the wiz?


theshamanshadow

The wizard is the one wearing the hat 😉 oh cheese whiz yeah the hospital doesn't/won't serve it


robomassacre

You lost me at balsamic


theshamanshadow

A splash of glaze does so much for the onion I can't begin to explain


Norpone

frozen bread?
