After years of cheesesteak debates here, Pat's is coming to State College

[Tom McAndrew]

It's where I take out of town guests to have the authentic experience (and, to be fair, my mom was Roxborough High '45). Though my cousin Bill speaks well of Chubbies across the street.

chubbies has better seating, better parking, etc. their cheesesteaks aren’t bad, but I’ll always opt for Dalessandros over the newer place across the street

So if there is no cheese in Cheez Whiz, what is lurking within the seemingly innocuous glass jar with its twist-off lid? To find out, let's flip it over and read the nutritional content.

On the back of a Cheez Whiz jar, you'll discover a lengthy essay of ingredients: whey, milk, canola oil, maltodextrin, milk protein concentrate, sodium phosphate, contains less than 2% of modified food starch, salt, lactic acid, whey protein concentrate, mustard flour, Worcestershire sauce [vinegar, molasses, corn syrup, water, salt, caramel color, garlic powder, sugar, spices (contains celery), tamarind, natural flavor], sodium alginate, sorbic acid as a preservative, color added, cheese culture, enzymes, natural flavor.

The first listed and thus most prominent ingredient in Cheez Whiz is whey, the liquid that is released from cheese curds during cheesemaking process. Aside from this milk protein byproduct, Cheez Whiz is largely comprised of salt-packed flavorings and a cocktail of chemicals that give it eternal life and a neon yellow color.

A single serving of Cheez Whiz is two tablespoons, and packs in around 80 calories and around eight percent of your daily recommended fat allowance. That's not so terrible, but what is alarming is the amount of sodium in Cheez Whiz: two tiny tablespoons make up nearly 20 percent of your daily recommended sodium intake. And who eats just two tablespoons?

Well, not to defend Cheese Whiz as cheese per se, but cheese isn't gonna list "cheese" as an ingredient.

Pure cheese is usually milk, salt and cheese cultures/enzymes....all of which Cheese Whiz contains. So technically it is cheese.

Try some Boursin on a home made cheese steak. Shallots and chives or garlic and herbs. Great taste on a cheesesteak.
Tom McA approved!

When a chef uses those ingredients and industrial processes, it’s called molecular gastronomy and costs four to five times more. When Kraft does it, it’s called frankenfood.

Considering that the small format Targets have only been around for about ten years, no. But once they placed one near the UMinn campus a few years before State College, it made perfect sense. What is Wawa's track record with locations that do not sell gas?

The old Sheetz on Pugh would make an excellent spot for Wawa.

Well, Wawa doesn’t believe so.

If you want Cheez Whiz that is actually cheese,, you’ll have to get it from Canada (you can get it thru AWSj

I have a confession to make...A steak shop recently opened close to home, Whiz Kids in Bethlehem. They've had some bad luck. Opening delayed by COVID, then a fire. I stumbled in one day. Like many here, I swore I would never have Whiz on a cheesesteak. Sort of half paying attention to the ingredients, I guess I mistakenly ordered one with Whiz but didn't realize it until I got home. Have to admit, it was REALLY good.
