HOW TO ORDER A CHEESESTEAK IN PHILLY
When in Philly, expect your order-taker to have the manners of "The Soup Nazi". Be prepared when you place your order. Cheesesteak shops are not known for their patience and customer service.
- Act like you know what you're ordering and that you've been there a million times.
- Don't hesitate while making your choices.
- Know your order BEFORE you approach the counter.
- Keep special requests to a minimum.
- Be assertive.
- Talk Philly sports.
- Understand that Cheez Whiz tastes good.
And always specify whether or not you want fried onions by saying "Wit" or "Wit-out", this is the Philly way. If you are at Pat's or Geno's, and you want to try your steak with Cheez Whiz and onions, just say "Whiz, Wit"-- now that's the proper lingo!
