      I wouldn’t ever order it off of a menu, but if it was served at a party, I would absolutely try a small slice.

      Makes me wonder if this could be made in an actually good way. A savory not sweet cheese wiz cheesecake recipe or something?

    That… could work?

    I mean, it’d be a real challenge. But some sort of savory cheesecake, with a savory crust, topped with cheese steak fillings and I could see it being… okay-ish. I don’t think it would gain mainstream appeal, but I could see it being some sort of local delicacy that all the locals say is delicious but also a acquired taste.

      I’m thinking way to hard of a way to make this work… Some type of rye for the crust? Drizzled with A-1 or Heinz 57?

      Why is my brain trying to make this abomination feasible!?

        My thought is some sort of rosemary heavy crust with whole wheat bread crumbs instead of graham crackers, a garlic and onion flavored (and sugar free) cheese cake and then standard Philly cheese steak filling for the topping. Add in a dollop of cheese wiz on the top and some sort of balsamic/worcestershire reduction drizzled onto the top.

    I love this, but it needs a new name.

    Philly cheese steak + New York cheesecake = something named for New Jersey.

    I try very hard every day to avoid making a savory salmon and dill cheesecake. When my resolve fails, I like to top it with some capers or pickled red onions.

    So, will native Philidephians be more upset that someone put cheese steak on a cheesecake, or that you called it a ‘Philly’ when it is adulterated with peppers and missing one of the two acceptable [traditional] cheeses (American [Provolone] or whizz)? Place your bets and hopefully a real Philadelphian can let us know which is more upsetting. I’m betting on the latter, but not heavily.

      Philadelphian here. Sharp provolone is preferred. Nevertheless, I’d try it. Although cream cheese separates when you heat it so this would have to be eaten cold. It’s probably not bad, but I’m not sure about the chocolate on bottom.

      I’m not native, but have lived in Philly. The bell peppers bother me. Wiz, American, provolone, or Swiss all are pretty common in my experience. As is no cheese at all, which this appears to be. But then it’s not a cheesesteak, it’s a steak.

      I’m not from Philadelphia, but I though the two acceptable cheeses were cheese whiz and provolone.

        Yeah, I think I misremebered that one. It’s been some years since I heard my coworker at the time rant about how cheesesteaks made other ways might taste good, but they’re not Philly cheesesteaks anymore and please stop calling them that.
