There's a particular sandwich that is so famous in Philadelphia, the name of city is attached to it on menus across the country. That sandwich is the cheesesteak, which can be prepared in a number of different ways.

For most fans of an authentic Philly cheesesteak, it has to be shaved ribeye steak with onions and then topped with either provolone or a cheese sauce and served on a hoagie roll in order to be legit. But as with anything that is delicious, minor changes have been made over the years to match people's tastes.
