Birth Place and Popularity of The Cheesesteak Sandwich

Philadelphia (USA) is the birth place of the cheesesteak sandwich and is a popular regional fast food to this day.

The cheesesteak, well actually the steak sandwich was a creation of the 1930’s by a hotdog stand owner named Pat Olivieri.

The exact story behind its creation is debated. But the sandwich became so popular, that Pat opened a restaurant called – Pat’s King of Steaks – and is in operation till this day.

But wait, if Pat did not use cheese on his original creation, then why is it called a cheesesteak sandwich?

The media syndicate – Thrillest– writes that a manger at Pat’s named Joe Lorenzo, an overly confident manager, dropped a little Provolone to complete the masterpiece.

Later in 1952, Cheez Whiz hit the market. And since then, the Philly Cheesesteak and Cheez Whiz have become very close friends.

Variations of cheesesteaks are now common in many restaurants and fast food establishments.

Such as the mushroom cheesesteak, pepper cheesesteak or a pizza cheesesteak among many others.

Out side of Philadelphia, the original sandwich is referred to as a Pilly cheesesteak.

According to a media syndicate named – Mashed – Pat’s King of Steaks can turn out upwards of 6,000 cheesesteaks per day.
