NEW TWISTS ON A REGIONAL FAVORITE:

• The cheesesteak goes upscale. Many regional restaurants are changing up the traditional ingredients to be more upscale in appeal and taste, including a sandwich featuring shaved rib-eye, truffle whiz, caramelized onion and a cherry pepper mayo.
• Go totally Philly. One adventuresome Philly eatery is gaining lots of attention with their signature Philadelphia Cream Cheese Cheesesteak.
• No steak cheesesteaks. Vegetarians and meat eaters alike are enjoying alternative cheesesteaks for a healthier twist on this regional classic. For example, one Philly eatery is serving seitan “cheesesteaks” made with rosemary and garlic seared seitan, grilled onions, green peppers and vegan whiz served on an artisan hoagie roll.
