Meat matters: Ribeye is the traditional choice because it’s juicy and tender. Don’t substitute it unless necessary.
Cheese options: Provolone gives a creamy bite. For an old-school Philly feel, try Cheez Whiz or white American cheese.
Bread: Use fresh hoagie rolls or Amoroso rolls if you can find them. They should be soft but sturdy enough to hold the filling.
Add peppers or mushrooms only if you’re okay with deviating from the classic. Purists keep it simple: meat, cheese, onions, bread.
