but I learned from friends who've lived there* that the proper cheesesteak at Gino's or Pat's is indeed a "steak Whiz." This is the default for natives. When offered a choice, I go for the provolone anyway. My commitment to cultural anthropology is not strong enough to "go native" by consumption of petroleum byproducts.

To ask U Penn students why real people do, is of course silly.
A cheese steak can have cheese whiz, or provalone or American. The president's order is fine. On the other hand. the article, by mentioning "white bread" and " fried onions" loses any credibility.
JFK? Swiss cheese is not even an option. Maybe he fell back to what he had rehearsed for the Wendy's photo op?
