Plenty of places will put peppers on your cheesesteak. Most if not all have it as one of the many add-ons. Onions, Mushrooms, hot peppers, sweet peppers are the most traditional.

When I lived in the Philly burbs, I spent an entire weekend sampling cheesesteaks from the big name purveyors. Pat's, while the most famous, is the most overrated... He does the Cheese Whiz... not a fan of the whiz.

I'll leave everyone with this:

Now that's a project to sink your teeth into.

If all of those are "cheese-steaks" than mine is as well.

Bobby's losing recipe has all the elements yours does.

No hot peppers, no southwestern flavor profile, and he uses a provolone sauce; not my sandwich. While it lost, it is probably delicious, but mine was better.

but because I love you Soy, while you're out buying a meat tenderizer, get yourself an Epicurean Cutting board. I'm not going to go into why, but anyone that cooks will know exactly what i'm referring to in pics 1-6.

I don't mind cutting on whatever; as a professional I have been cutting on plastic boards for 15 years.

I have an antique butcher-block from a no-longer existent butcher shop France. When I move into my new apartment I am going to dig it out of storage. It is pitted and worn down badly from over 100 years of use; I love it.

Pitted and worn down cutting board just means it's easier for bacteria and other nasties to grow in it.

Next time in Portland I know who I'm visiting.

Reminds me of a story about one loose chick on campus where you had to wear 3 condoms to be safe. 2 on top of each other and a third on top of those with some bleach in it.
