Evolution of the cheesesteak sandwich

Overview

The cheesesteak, a traditional staple of Philadelphia, is seeing various forms of culinary evolution and expansion.

Local establishments in Philadelphia continue to emphasize high-quality, traditional components, such as specific cheese varieties like Cooper Sharp and seeded rolls, to maintain the authentic sandwich experience.

Simultaneously, the concept is expanding into the national fast-food market. For example, Arby’s has introduced a line of chicken cheesesteaks featuring marinated chicken, caramelized onions, and American Cooper cheese on toasted sesame rolls, reflecting a trend toward using poultry as an alternative to the classic beef preparation.
