No Philadelphia steak shop puts green peppers on a cheesesteak. I have no idea why the zeitgeist believes this is the case. The only acceptable peppers on a cheesesteak are sweet cherry peppers or a hot pepper like banana peppers, hot cherry peppers, or long hots.

3 jawns and a jagoff

for a proper cheesesteak sammy: steak cheese and onions cheesesteak hoagie: steak cheese onions tomato lettuce onions mayo (maybe some hots or hoagie spread)

OK thank you, this is a knowledge gap for me

i agree w/ @missclare.bsky.social‬ on the peppers. but obviously if you like it then w/e

I haven't had the pizza yet but I am sure it works in that specific context

Don’t let them bully you into pretending that green chiles don’t make everything better.

I think they're specifically talking about the bell peppers, not the green chile. We all know my stance on the GC.

You’re a beacon of taste and decency in these trying times.

yeah its just weird o watch people put green bells in everything they label "philly" when thats not really a thing in philly

Curiously - what would be a more Philly thing to throw on a pizza? Aside from batteries.

scrapple? i dont know of a specific philly style pizza. tho we do have this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italian...

God. A scrapple pizza is terrifying. Not sure how I didn’t think of scrapple tbh.

The green chile is fine because it stands in as a hot pepper. But green peppers—the big dumb acrid ones in fajitas—are an abomination against the cheesesteak god.

So for some reason I feel like every cheesesteak I’ve ever seen depicted has peppers in it, but also I haven’t spent any time in Philly

My serious answer is that I think the rest of the country puts green peppers in a cheesesteak because they see Philadelphians add some kind of pepper, but hot cherry peppers are hard to come by in Athens or Stillwater or Knoxville or whatever, so they assume green peppers are the next best thing.

My grandfather grew his own Thai chili peppers I suspect for a similar reason

Whenever a Philly native sees a cheesesteak outside of the Delaware valley our eyes start twitching because it is invariably defiled by green peppers.

Lmaooooooo

RAAAAAAAAAGE

no green bells, sub extra green chile

im actually curious about the green chile. hatch? b/c if so im a big ol' thumbs up

Tis the season!

HEB did this season so well. obv the had the fresh stuff in the produce section, but they rolled out so many hatch products. they also have people out front roasting them and sold by the pound

Yeah, here in nm we just call it GC on everything the hatch is implied (tho there are a few other locations that make it so it gets a little nuanced but that's real inside baseball)

If I was eating the sandwich I would of course want exactly this.
