Forget subs, hoagies, and grinders — for me, the king of all sandwiches is the cheesesteak. It’s everything I want in a sandwich: warm, savory, melty, and satisfying. Personally, I’ll take mine with fried mushrooms, onions, and peppers, finished off with a little mayonnaise. That’s my perfect cheesesteak.
