Philly knows a couple things, like proper sportsmanship, non-violent dispute resolution, and cheesesteaks. Also, not understanding the definition of "a couple". To wit, the Queen Village guy behind This Is Not A Cheesesteak, who posts photo-accompanied rants that take heavy offense to what the rest of the country considers a "Philly":

Berkeley's Cheese Steak Shop: Taking the defiantly weird Cali city to task for packing a steak with lettuce and tomato and turning it into a mayo-based monstrosity, the writer clearly misunderstands the impact of the 2008 USC basketball team.

Veggiedelphia Recipe: This meatless Internet recipe requires Swiss, garlic, and a Morning Star veggie patty, which sets the writer off. His suggestion? "Start with Seitan", also how Slayer solves the problem of writing all their song lyrics.

General Tso's Chicken Cheesesteak: This combination of "crappy Chinese food" and beef actually manages to garner the scribe's love, as he states "I love Food Voltrons", though not Voltron food, 'cause metallic Kibble is definitely not a cheesesteak.
