“Nobody asked if I wanted my cheesesteak with Cheez Whiz, so Tat’s got bonus points right there. Seriously, someone needs to put a stop to the Cheez Whiz thing. A cheesesteak is made with white American cheese, period. Cheez Whiz is for dimwits, for Pat’s and Geno’s fans who’ve been fooled by the hype. Tat’s offers it, but they don’t push it. They offer lots of things on their cheesesteaks (mushrooms and peppers, both hot and sweet) that no right-thinking person would order. But Tatman and Sichel have to make a living, and some people eat strange things.” Read Jason Sheehan’s full review of Tat’s Deli.Photos by Joshua Huston.Published on September 22, 2010
