Cheesesteaks are actually a type of sandwich, and are also known as cheesesteak sandwich, cheese steak, Philadelphia cheesesteak, Philly cheesesteak or steak and cheese. They consist of a hoagie roll containing thinly sliced pieces of beefsteak and melted cheese. This is a type of fast food and, as might be determined from some of the names, originated in Philadelphia. Pat and Harry Olivieri are credited with being the first to invent the sandwich using chopped steak on an Italian roll in the 1930s. They ran a hot dog stand and, apparently, a passing driver saw one being eaten and requested one himself. The pair concentrated on the sandwiches, eventually opening a restaurant.
Rib eye or top round are the most common cuts of beef used and the typical cheeses are provolone, Cheez Whiz and American cheese, which all tend to have low melting points.
