Media Night 2023:

Who gives a shit? Sick of the cheesesteak talk anyway. Whenever someone brings up this topic, idiots reply with something like “yeah well your favorite cheesesteak place sucks, mine is better.” No one cares that you like Ishkabibble’s better than Geno’s.

We wrote about this in a Pulitzer-winning article titled “Opinion: We Desperately Need to Address Banal Cheesesteak Discourse, and Establish New Ground Rules.” – 

“The thing about banal cheesesteak discussion is that there are so many spots in Philly and South Jersey making all sorts of good sandwiches. There’s always that guy on social media who is like “fuck cheesesteaks, get roast pork,” but he’s not wrong. We have roast pork, Italian spots, independent delis, etc. If anything, we should be known as a sandwich city, not a cheesesteak city. I’d put the Philly/South Jersey sandwich scene up against any sandwich scene on the planet, yet we get sidetracked with dopey Twitter discussion about which cheesesteak place is better than the other.”

Cheesesteak talk jumped the shark 15 years ago. And what does JuJu know about food anyway? He spent five seasons in Pittsburgh and probably ate the same garbage the Yinzers eat. Primanti Bros and Sheetz and assorted trash.
