1. I've never heard of Steakumm until today

Brilliant advertising ploy - truth. Are they good?

[KayF]

2. i'm not sure i've ever had them

i kind of remember wanting them as a kid, they looked good in the commercials.

[Shermann]

5. 100% beef

No additional ingredients.

Good stuff. You cannot go wrong here.

[PCIntern]

7. Actually..Deeeeelicious!

As a native Philadelphian and expert in the field of Cheesesteakology, I will state for the record that this company makes a dandy meat and when managed properly gives you about a 6.8 on the scale of cheesesteaks.

9. What's the deal with the Cheez Whiz anyway?

Is that what you'd put on the cheesesteak-umm?

I usually go with some Velveeta. But I'm not opposed to this idea, just seems odd.

I'm a southernized upstate New Yorker.

11. Whiz is the fundamental coating

Provolone also. When Kerry asked for Swiss cheese he was vilified by all the shot and a beer crowd here. Because we are morons.

Whiz is superb on big greasy cheesesteaks. Btw, Jim’s on South Street really is the best easily available mass-produced steak. Pat’s and Geno’s are also-rans.

14. Sounds good

Both of those ingredients are survival staples.

How about the bread? We'll need a readily available freezable/storable ingredient to work with for that as well. None of that hard-to-find do-it-yourself artisan crap.

[PCIntern]

15. Yeah the bread is tricky

Has to be a very fresh first-quality hoagie roll

[Shermann]

16. Wonder Bread then?

[PCIntern]

18. see below

4. Yes

I actually prefer them for homemade cheesesteaks. No gristle. Blot off the grease with a paper towel before adding the cheese. Seriously, makes a good quick meal.

17. I make my own with extra lean roast beef from the deli, onions and melt sliced cheddar, muenster or

real american cheese (not those processed Kraft slices) on the beef while it's still in the pan, then put it on a toasted french roll. Delicious!

[Pacifist Patriot]

13. YES!!!!

Oh my goodness, it has been years since I've used Steakummm. Now I'm regretting having just completed my grocery shopping for the week. It's definitely going on the list for next week's venture out into public spaces.

3. I hate to point out the obvious, but Steak-umm is smarter than the current occupant of the WH.
