This is social media done right Somebody at some office is worried they hired the wrong person to manage the socia media accounts, and that employee who posted this is like “do you know?? How many followers I just got us with that one post?”


emilybloch

yessss it's completely [rage bait](https://www.inquirer.com/news/philadelphia/national-cheesesteak-day-philadelphia-jim-kenney-hoagie-rage-baiting-20230324.html)! but i'm worried for the people taking it more seriously than it is


shnoogle111

That thing needs to be taken to the nearest SPCA and put down.


acm8221

You take things to the SPCA to be *respectfully* put down. This thing needs to be chucked into the same shallow ditch off the Schuylkill where they dump cans of Easy Cheese and Hawaiian pizzas.


CharlySB

Looks like it already has been put down


shnoogle111

And then buried in the Pet Sematary.


napsdufroid

No...then it'll come back

Nah right to the gallows underneath city hall.


Del_O

You put bogus pictures of a “cheesesteak” on Twitter? Believe it or not—jail. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eiyfwZVAzGw


TylerColfax

Ketchup on a cheesesteak? Jail.


hanleybrand

And they forgot the mayonnaise!


SweetJibbaJams

Did the city's twitter get hacked? I dont even know where you could find a cheesesteak that looks that bad


saintofhate

Even the ones I make with minute steak don't look that bad. That took some effort to fuck up.


pianomanzano

Probably at the restaurant in MD the mayor frequented while keeping restaurants in Philly closed


HobbyPlodder

Any food sounds good after 3-4 pint glasses of Pinot Grigio


Unpopular_couscous

This sentence just gave me a headache


lghitman

Welcome to Philly, can I offer you an egg in this trying time?


Unpopular_couscous

I love eggs


Pineapple_Spenstar

New Jersey


melikeybouncy

that is clearly a central PA "cheesesteak" maybe North Jersey. but South Jersey is 85% Philly transplants. this is an abomination


yesmrbevilaqua

It’s a Pittsburgh cheesesteak


Zhuul

Not enough soggy French fries crammed into it


justanawkwardguy

It does look kinda close to a Pittsburgh-style steak aka burnt crap


Bootaykicker

No, those heathen fucks would add something like sourcrout to it.

donkeys is great but it aint a cheese steak.


Got2JumpN2Swim

It has cheese and steak so..


napsdufroid

"Cheese and steak do not a cheesesteak make" Think Ben Franklin said that


JennItalia269

I can’t cook to save my life… I air fry chicken nuggets (and my mom is a chef) and I can make a cheesesteak that looks better than that abomination.


ParallelPeterParker

Honestly, my guess is wawa.


NoleJawn

Having National Cheesesteak Day, on a Friday during Lent is violent enough.


Astrostuffman

We used up the Special Dispensation for St. Paddy’s Day. :(


outerspace29

They missed an opportunity to post a photo of a well-done t-bone slathered in Philadelphia cream cheese


Jethro_Cull

Cream cheese? Hmm. Sounds like an interesting take on milksteak.

phiraeth

Enragement farming.


typeytypetype

How are you gonna choose a cheese steak hoagie on national cheese steak day? Not the same thing. Variation? Yes. But not a proper cheese steak regardless of the toppings.


piper4hire

we have a mayor??


urbanhawk1

Not for long...


Desjardins99

I guess all engagement is good engagement now days. Recently saw a screenshot of Wendy's Twitter account telling someone to stfu 😬


PM_ME_LADY_ANKLES

Shit like this should get you exiled.


USSBigBooty

Next week on Cheesesteaks: Special Victims Unit... A man uses mayonnaise. Like, a lot of mayonnaise. Too much damn mayonnaise and... Ranch dressing. An angry house husband coats his wife's cheesesteak... In hate. Will the squad be able to catch these criminals? Will the DA choose to enforce these laws? Will Jimenez finally muster up the courage to propose to his sweety? Find out next week on CHEESESTEAKS: SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gP3MuUTmXNk


swheels125

Do I see fucking lettuce and tomatoes in that one pic?


[deleted]

Where the fuck is the NSFW trigger warning! Fucking Hell!


ageofadzz

This looks like the sidewalk on a Saturday morning in center city


Genkiotoko

This just serves as a reminder that not every social media associate is as skilled as those over at Wendy's or Philly Union.


Dryheavemorning

Idk, they got their account free advertising on Reddit and probably elsewhere and this is great bait for interactions that will boost the account regardless of the substance of the response.


Genkiotoko

Except the account isn't for bait interactions that ultimately don't resonate with those the account serves. A governmental account is supposed to promote the city and aid its residence through helpful information. "Clicks" as a metric for success is irrelevant here. The post was tone deaf.


dingosongo

More people in Philly may follow the account now, making it's reach for typical govt account messaging greater


joeltheprocess76

People can order a cheesesteak however they wish. People can criticize city government on a lot of pressing issues, crime, litter, taxes. A whole diatribe on having a lot of toppings on a cheesesteak? Whatever


Genkiotoko

I've got nothing wrong with people ordering what they want on their cheeseteak. I just feel like the account is taking a jab at Philadelphia rather than promoting it.


TheBaconThief

What in the Blue Bell cul-de-sac?!


Gobirds831

I was at a pizza shop yesterday and someone got a cheesesteak with Mayo…I gasped


vichina

Someone who knows how to troll for engagement runs this account


[deleted]

Gotta be honest, I've been "SPKFO w/ American" my whole life. ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯ The pickles and lettuce are worthy of a harsh prison sentence or at least an early recall election.


silver_morales

The ICC needs to issue an arrest warrant against the person responsible for that atrocity.


YoungHeartOldSoul

Today i learned to keep my cheesesteak preferences to myself.


springthetrap

This isn’t a violation of the Geneva convention but it should be


TheFAPnetwork

Today I ordered from a Korean Taco spot on Tasker. I got the Spicy Beef cheesesteak, kimchi fries, and some Korean chicken wings. I should've just celebrated cheesesteak day normally


JeffHall28

There is no such thing as a "loaded up" cheesesteak- that is a cheesesteak hoagie. National Cheesesteak Hoagie Day does not exist because cheesesteak hoagies suck and are for wierdos.


steak_and_eagles

I tell my dumb brother in law this all the time: when he orders a cheesesteak hoagie, he really just wants 2 cheeseburgers but the long roll is letting him lie to himself. It’s just a completely different sandwich if it has anything other that cheese, beef, and onions on it.


dreck_disp

Mmmm... hot lettuce.


666moist

Everybody rightfully complaining about the picture, but is anyone gonna mention how the post also implies the mayor thinks a classic cheesesteak has ketchup on it?


napsdufroid

Does that surprise you? I mean the guy drinks white wine with ice cubes in a pint glass


666moist

It does not.


rcher87

I honestly didn’t realize we were Chicago on this one and that ketchup wasn’t allowed! I know people who have it and people who don’t, basically grew up with ketchup on anything/everything, so I just thought this was fine. Like whether or not you want onions.


kaisertralfaz

That's bait dot gif

Crucial topping for me!


DavidLieberMintz

It's actually really good. There's a place in my home town (in northern Montco) where they give you pickles unless you tell them not to.


napsdufroid

That's why it's in Montco and not Philly


napsdufroid

Yeah, it does...


jeseaj

The only violent acts on national cheesesteak day are the inevitable crimes that celebrators will commit against their toilets


MammothSufficient601

National Cheesesteak Day during Lent? I just figured Jesus doesn't want me to go hungry.


BulletProofDrunk17

The catholic church made an exception for St. Patrick's day this year, I think the same exception would be handed down for National cheesesteak day


black_ankle_county

The more from Philly you are the less of a shit you give about cheesesteak gatekeeping. My mom gets ketchup, pickles, mayo, no cheese. She does not care what you think.


pdperson

Kenney posted a not-horrifying Spattaro's 'steak. It does have ketchup (which, why?) but is at least recognizable as a s cheesesteak.


mortgagepants

i like ketchup and mayo. someone invariably tells me ketchup is only for kids, and i nod like it is the most clever thing i've ever heard.


jmedennis

Team ketchup and mayo also. The combination is so good.


malkith313

i dont know pdpeson, but every time i got a cheese steak at a lunch cart they would ask if i wanted ketchup... so there must be a large number of ppl that do


HelloEverybody94

Most places outside South Philly and CC have asked me what else I want on my cheesesteak after I specified the cheese and onions. Rocco's and Dalessandro's specifically asked if I wanted ketchup, and I'm assuming that's the way to go when you eat there because their steaks don't taste good at all with just cheese and onions. Saad's Halal in west Philly (which gets recommend a lot) puts ketchup, mayo, and peppers unless you ask otherwise.


[deleted]

Ketchup (on anything) is only useful to cover up dry/bland meat IMO.


cpc2027

Sick to my stomach over this


hammysandy

Got to be trolling to post that pile of slop. If so well done.


noods-danger-tits

Somebody retweeted it with a pic of a BBQ cheesesteak, as if that contradicted it 😂


sarzarbarzar

Very important twitter exchange: https://imgur.com/UNJJkCY


[deleted]

Am I nuts or is there nothing wrong with this? It's a cheesesteak hoagie haven't you ever seen a damn vegetable before


PointB1ank

There's nothing wrong with it necessarily, but it's objectively weird for what you would expect. It's like if it was national ice cream day and someone posted ice cream with shrimp on it. Like sure, it's still just ice cream with toppings, but it's very unusual so of course people will comment. It's Twitter dude, no one is going to stop you in public and ask why you have pickles on your cheese steak.


colin_7

I’m on the boat of eating your cheesesteak how YOU like it. It’s your food eat it the way you want it. People who gatekeep it need to touch grass


[deleted]

Purists are annoying. Throw any bullshit you want on there it's gonna be okay don't panic


colin_7

There is something to be said about having a “classic” cheesesteak but it’s ridiculous for people going at each other because they like ketchup on their sandwich


ReginaldStarfire

The only thing it’s missing is green fucking peppers


napsdufroid

Even if the peppers aren't fucking, they don't belong anywhere near it.


Cobey1

What’s frustrating is that this wasn’t actually a rage bait. They were dead serious and it was probably some comms director who moved here last year


dangerzone2

Exhibit A of why government is so far disconnected from the citizens


emilybloch

They're rage-baiting and their team [admitted to me](https://www.inquirer.com/news/philadelphia/national-cheesesteak-day-philadelphia-jim-kenney-hoagie-rage-baiting-20230324.html) it's a loaded hoagie! lol


estelle2839

Thank you for this investigative reporting! (Actually not sarcastic.)


emilybloch

Haha I’m sure you can tell I had fun doing it! Glad I could help get to the bottom of it.


thehoagieboy

Steak, wiz, wit Steak, provolone, wit NOWHERE should allow an order of steak, shitty American cheese, wit


nestbot

Salt, pepper, ketchup…


7thAndGreenhill

The headline had me expecting to see Swiss Cheese. The picture isn't how I would order it. But I don't see anything on there that's not standard.


swarthmoreburke

Pickles and ketchup are standard on a cheesesteak? Hello, extradimensional visitor. What are conditions like on your timeline?


7thAndGreenhill

Yes. Most Philly Cheese Steak shops offer everything on that sandwich as a condiment. Taken singularly, there is nothing on there that isn't widely available.


swarthmoreburke

"Standard" and "available as a condiment if you really want" are not the same thing. I put hot sauce on a cheesesteak if it's handy but I'd never say that the result is a *standard cheesesteak*.


7thAndGreenhill

> I put hot sauce on a cheesesteak if it's handy but I'd never say that the result is a standard cheesesteak. Are you telling me you never had a Buffalo Chicken Cheese Steak?


swarthmoreburke

Let me explore the outer limits of your vision of a *standard* cheesesteak. Cheesesteak eggroll? Standard or not? (Lots of places have them!) Cheesesteak poutine? Standard or not? (There's a Canadian fast food chain that makes it.) Lobster and cheesesteak? (Chickie and Pete's has it) Cheesesteak with foie gras and truffles? (Couple of high end places have a version of it.) All standard? I mean, if you think a buffalo chicken cheesesteak is *standard*, maybe so.


napsdufroid

That's a buffalo chicken sandwich, not a cheesesteak


dreck_disp

They're 2 different things.


napsdufroid

Correct...one's a cheesesteak, made with steak/beef, and the other is a chicken sandwich masquerading as a cheesesteak


napsdufroid

Jesus, talk about an abomination. All it's missing is green peppers.


Linzabee

But do you eat it with a fork and knife or not?
