Jesus BOB.
A tourist site?!?!?
Next you'll tell me how to drive a truck because you RTFM.
Tapatyped
No.
Its a philly tourist site.
And it's completely wrong.
Unless you only know Tony Luke's, Geno's and Pat's.
I delivered ingredients to these places.
Rib-eye? Outside of Tony Luke's, good luck with that!
It's chip steak. Knuckle meat.
The cheese of choice?
Go into any and every neighborhood deli or pizza shop and order without specifying.
Keep a tally.
I'll bet my children less than 5% even ask if you'd like something other than American.
I've eaten cheese steaks in every neighborhood of that city.
There's 2 actual Philadelphians here.
Both agree.
Nobody else with an opinion or argument even understands slightly.
You visited as a quasi-tourist.
The others are giving second hand opinions.
Tapatyped
That would explain a lot.
Tony is an innovator and demands the best.
Though, for "authentic" I'd suggest elsewhere a little more "homey" as the locals would.
And I, personally think there's a chance it'll taste better.

Yup, and one of them worked his way through college in the late 1970s in one of those neighborhood pizza, steak, and hoagie shops. I've probably made more cheese steaks than any of you guys have eaten in your entire lives. Hoagies and pizzas too. Wiz was not an option. American was standard, but you could substitute provolone if that's what you wanted. Hardly anyone did.
As a relatively poor college student, I ate there every night I worked there (typically 3-4 nights a week). The boss' policy was: If you're hungry, make yourself something to eat when things were quiet. In other words, free food. For the better part of a decade afterwards, I wanted no parts of any such food, although I eventually got over it.
Oh good grief !
Between the sandwiches, cheese/not cheese and the popcorn I am hungry !
(play nice kiddos)

And the other worked his way through parties in the 90's the same way.
Never stopped me from eating a cheese steak though.
Just upped my game to include cheese steak hoagies, w/mushrooms, w/pepperoni, pizza steaks, chicken and veal parm... and the coupe de gras for hangovers...
dun dun dun...
Breakfast pizza with funions.

We have a place called Steak Stuffers here. They make a pretty good "Philly cheese steak". (note the quotation marks, Beck)... 
They use the Wiz, as standard...

If you're not in Philly...
Accept a substitute.
It's all you got.
Better than nothing.
I won't judge for what you do.

Thanks, Beck! 
I'll tell 'em to put American on it next time, just so's I can try it out...
Should be wicked awesome!
