    How To Order in English

    I just had to share this...

    Bistec con queso? Not at Geno's Steaks. An English-only ordering policy is raising ire.

    Want A Geno's Cheesesteak? Learn To Order In English

    Ordering a cheesesteak at Philadelphia's famous cheesesteak joints involves a few simple words. There's usually no need to ask for peppers, ketchup or other condiments -- you add those yourself.

    The basic terminology:

    "Cheesesteak wit" (or "Whiz wit"): cheesesteak with Cheese Whiz, fried onions
    "American wit": cheesesteak with American cheese, fried onions.
    "Provolone wit": cheesesteak with provolone, fried onions.

    Don't want onions? Say "witout" (without) instead of "wit."

    bearpaw, that's great. Leave it to Philly! Next time I'm there I'm going to Geno's!

    I'll have mine "wit."

    This is the best ! I've been to Geno's many times, and they have the greatest steaks, "wit" or "witout". I knew I liked them for some reason !

    "English Only." I like it! Since a huge majority of Americans are sick and tired of the bilingual crap, it might be a good marketing idea.
