The Art of Ordering a Philly Cheesesteak

The intersection of 9th Street and Passyunk Avenue in South Philadelphia is the epicenter of Philadelphia Cheesesteak lure.

This past summer, I was in Philadelphia for a few days with my Mom. We were told that if we could only do one thing, it should be to go eat a Philly cheesesteak at Geno's. It took us a while to find the restaurant, but with the help of Google Maps, we finally got there. I had done a bit of research before on Philly cheesesteaks and found out that there is even a specific way to order them. One could say "One whiz with", and these three words would get you a cheesesteak exactly how you want it. Heres how it works:

"One whiz with"

"One" - This simply means you want one cheesesteak

"Whiz" - This denotes the type of cheese you want. Whiz meaning Cheese Whiz and if you want provolone you can say "provolone".

"With" - This simply denotes if you want fried onions, so you could say "with" or "without"
